LAS Online courses are built and taught by faculty in the University of Illinois College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. UIUC degree-seeking students are the primary audience for these courses. Through the LAS Online Flex program we are expanding the reach of these courses to a worldwide audience, including the following groups:

• Non-degree learners
• Undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in degree programs at other institutions
• Working professionals, members of the military, hobbyists
• High school students

Tuition for LAS Online Flex courses is set by the University of Illinois Board of Trustees.

Tuition is assessed based on the student's status (Illinois High School, Undergraduate, Graduate, etc.)

• The UIUC Self-Paced Course Undergraduate Tuition Rate (currently $424 per credit hour) is assessed for students of high school age and beyond, who have not yet earned an undergraduate degree. Students attending high school outside Illinois also pay this rate.
• The UIUC Self-Paced Course Graduate Tuition Rate (currently $510 per credit hour) is assessed for students who have previously earned an undergraduate degree at any institution. 
• Illinois High School students are assessed a special rate of $276 per credit hour. 

Custom sections of LAS Online Flex courses may be constructed upon request to accommodate student cohorts at academic institutions.

• We can build LAS Online Flex course sections with custom start and end dates in 8-week and 16-week terms.
• In order to run, custom course sections must meet a minimum registration number threshold.
• Students in a custom section will progress through the course as a cohort.
• An on-ground facilitator must be appointed by the academic institution. The facilitator will be responsible for ensuring consistent and smooth communication between the student cohort and LAS Online instructional and administrative teams.
• Not all LAS Online flex courses are available in this format throughout the year.

The International Partner High School (IPHS) program is an LAS Online initiative that is run in collaboration with our Hong Kong-based partner, Immersive Education Academy. Through this enterprise, LAS Online courses are offered to student cohorts from high schools, Year 13 programs, universities, and  businesses located in East Asia and beyond. 

Custom sections of LAS Online courses are built and offered exclusively to students in the IPHS program.

Students in the IPHS program have a unique tuition model based on a prior agreement between the University of Illinois and Immersive Education Academy. 

An on-ground facilitator must be supplied at each institution participating in the IPHS program. The facilitator is responsible for various duties, including:

• Assisting students with access to learning materials (textbooks) and technology (software, learning management systems) used in the online courses
• Identifying and helping to resolve learning difficulties encountered by students
• Ensuring consistent and smooth communication between student cohorts and the LAS Online instructional and administrative teams

If you are interested in offering an LAS Online approved course through this program, please contact our office.
