UWG Online Mission: The Distance & Distributed Education Center (UWG Online) is a university-wide function at UWG which serves to develop and enhance the university's ability to deliver education to campus students, online students, and students at remote locations as well as to meet institutional distance learning goals. Through intercampus sharing of resources, the Distance and Distributed Education Center facilitates collaboration among university colleges, schools, and departments to deliver quality distance instruction, faculty and student services, and other distance learning initiatives. Goals align with 2014 - 2020 Strategic Plan (Marrero)

NOTE: Our #s may not match someone else's #. Here's why:
All of our systems in which data is housed (Banner, Peoplesoft, etc) are in constant flux. UWG Online only has access to live (in-flux) data. Therefore, since the # of online students can change minute-to-minute, based on drops, adds, withdraws, admin withdrawals, etc. all the way up to the last day of class and beyond, our #s may not match someone else's #s that were pulled at a different point in time or the #s provided by UWG Institutional Effectiveness & Assessment.
UWG Institutional Effectiveness & Assessment has access to "Census date" data - or data frozen and archived at specific points during each term. This is typically the data used for official accreditation reports, reports to the Board of Regents, and other national clearinghouses (IPEDS).
