All new MSIDT students must complete IDT 200: Online Learning Tools and Strategies for Success, a 1-unit CR/NC course, within the first four weeks of their first semester. Requests to add the class after the semester has started are not granted without extenuating circumstances and must be within the first 7 days. No exceptions.

This course introduces key technologies and strategies for online learning, including social networking, learning management tools, library databases, web conferencing, and more.

Failure to complete IDT 200 in the first semester results in administrative academic probation. A registration hold will prevent enrollment in other courses.

Failure to pass IDT 200 on the second attempt leads to disqualification from the university.
