How long will it take me to earn my degree?
Thanks to Global University's accelerated pace, you can expect to finish your Bachelor's degree in no more than four years. Many students who transfer in a large number of credits from previous schools often graduate in less than two years.
Classes run continuously, rather than in semesters. Typically, you take one course at a time and move on to the next course without a break. Opportunities to enroll and begin a course sequence in a degree program are available every week
Is there any way that I can get Degree faster than the regular duration?
Yes! One way is to transfer in credits from previous coursework. In some cases, you may also choose to take two classes at once, if you qualify after having completed your first two classes online. Work with your Enrollment and Academic Advisors about this option.
Another way to speed your success is to turn your work and life experience into transferable credits through the Prior Learning Assesment (PLA). From work training, workshops, and other sources, you can earn credit for learning experiences by documenting that learning. You may transfer in up to 30% credits through Global University's PLA Center. Use these credits to satisfy requirements in your degree program. Click on the PLA Documentation Guide for more information.
How do Global University of Management and Technology online classes work?
As an online student with Global University, your online classes take place in Global University's online platform. The online learning platform is an asynchronous environment, meaning that you can log in at any time at your convenience. You will communicate with your instructor and fellow students, read some assigned texts, post your assignments and comment on other students' assignments all through the online learning platform.
How many times do I need to log in to my online class?
Log in at least two separate days each week to meet Global University's minimum attendance requirement for each online class.
Do I have to log in at a specific time?
No, you get to choose when and where to log in, which allows you to fit your degree program into your busy schedule. Your online classroom takes place in an asynchronous environment, which means that all students are free to participate at their own pace, so long as they log in at least 2 times per week, and on separate days.
What assistance does Global University offer to students who need extra academic support?
If you are like most Global University online students, then you are probably a working adult, and maybe it has been some time since you took a college-level class. Have no fear! Global University's online degree programs are specifically designed for adult learners. You can choose to study independently, at a pace that suits you, or opt to pay for additional educational support at a local institution – and benefit from the face-to-face support this offers.
Do we have to do group work or team projects?
Absolutely not! You're a busy person with your own life, and Global University instructors only grade students on individual effort, never on group work.
Do I have to complete my Associate's degree before I can start a GUMT’s Bachelor degree program?
No, if you meet Global University's admission requirements, you may enter directly into a Bachelor's degree program at Global University of Management and Technology, even if you have never attended a college or university before. If you only want to earn an Associate's degree, then you have the option of enrolling in Global University's Associate of online degree program.
How does my degree from Global University compare to degrees from other schools?
Your degree from Global University is equally valuable, accepted, and honorable as any equivalent degree you could earn from another accredited school or university, whether on a traditional campus or online. The only difference between a degree from Global University and a degree from another school is the money and time you'll save through Global University.
Is it true that I can get a degree for free?
Not at all. There is no such thing as a university education that is free of charge. Almost all students choose to apply for student loans, which do have to be re-paid. The idea that you can go to a four-year university for free is a persistent misconception. Some students receive small grants and scholarships, but these are relatively rare and almost never cover the full cost of tuition, even at a highly affordable institution like Global University.
Do I qualify for Financial Aid?
You will partner with a Financial Services Advisor to determine whether you can get benefit from the various Financial Aid options offered. Financial Aid programs include the Bank Loan and scholarship.
How does the graduation ceremony work for online students?
No matter where you live, even as an online student you are invited to participate in commencement ceremonies held in December at our Headquarter in Turks and Caicos Islands (UK Overseas Territory). If you are visiting from out of town, you are responsible for arranging your own travel and accommodations. This link provides you with some travel and hotel information. Remember that all students, both on campus and online, are required to submit the appropriate paperwork to petition to graduate. Click here for more information on graduation.
