Sustaining an Online Program

We want every online program to serve as many students as it has capacity to do so. Additionally, we are obligated to ensure that online programs remain financially viable. When a program is experiencing challenges, we will work with the program director to find solutions to grow enrollment and/or decrease expenses through a variety of different measures.  

Rarely, a program may decide that it is time to sunset. In those situations, UTEP Online will discontinue marketing efforts and close the application. We are required to continue teaching the courses until all enrolled students either complete the program or decide to take an alternative path. The program will need to work with the Office of the Provost to deactivate the program code.
