Embrace online learning with Oklahoma City University

One of the core tenets of Oklahoma City University Online is to create engaging virtual learning opportunities for adult learners. OCU Online is presented through Desire to Learn (D2L), an online learning platform designed for personalized, flexible learning experiences. Students can log on to watch lectures, study texts, and collaborate with their peers, wherever and whenever works for them.

Online learning gives students autonomy over their learning process. Studying outside of a classroom allows you to learn at your own pace: pausing, rewinding, and repeating lessons as much as you need in the style that works for you. With 24-hour access to course materials, you don’t have to rely on your note-taking to save information from a professor’s enlightening lecture. You can also easily search and reference texts saved to your device or access them from anywhere with an internet connection. In addition, if you do run into any technological issues, our Student Success Coordinators are available to help you troubleshoot, find what you need, and get you back on track.
