Semester calendar

Our online courses follow the IUB semester schedule. Classes could be fully synchronous or a combination of synchronous and asynchronous. None of our language classes are 100% asynchronous. Synchronous classes meet via zoom on specific days and time along with IU students in a classroom.

Course fee information

New, lower tuition rates are now in effect for non-degree students who want to take only online foreign language courses. You are not eligible for the lower rate if you are an IU student or you are taking a non-language class(es) in addition to the online language class.

Our undergraduate language courses are 4 credit hours and our graduate language courses 3 credits per semester. The in-state and out-of-state fees for both undergraduate and graduates are listed here. Be sure to change to the correct semester and year. An additional distance education fee of $30 per credit hour (as of fall 2020) will be added to the tuition cost.
