Center for Innovation in Teaching & Learning (CITL) and Illinois Online
In addition to providing instructional design, development and program support services to Illinois’ academic partners, CITL also champions online study at Illinois and provides a range of enrollment and support services to students interested in taking online or off-site courses. Supporting the land-grant mission of the University, CITL works with academic partners to reach and connect students from every corner of the world to an Illinois education. It is not a requirement to be formally admitted to a degree program to take courses at Illinois. For many students, working through CITL offers opportunity to explore courses and programs (credit or non-credit) and establish history with the University prior to making a full commitment to a degree or certificate program.
CITL Provides Online and/or Off-Campus Learning Support Services to:
- High school students interested in pursuing online math programs (NetMath)
- Community college students (ACES Access, Engineering Pathways)
- Undergraduate or graduate students currently enrolled at another university who want to take an online course.
- Prospective transfer students not yet admitted into a degree program
- Working professionals who want or need professional development or certification
- University of Illinois Alumni interested in continuing education
- Anyone interested in earning an undergraduate or graduate certificate
- Anyone interested in taking a class for fun or lifelong learning
- Corporations, school districts or agencies interested in a custom cohort program for online or off-site courses, certificates or degree programs.
In addition, CITL collaborates with academic partners to plan, promote and execute the summer online and winter online terms.
