** UPDATE: Effective at the end of spring 2026 semester, the UNC Online and Language Exchange programs will be retired by the UNC System. As organizations evolve over time, goals and priorities change and new initiatives and new directions arise. Existing initiatives must be carefully evaluated for alignment and effectiveness. After just such an evaluation, the UNC System Office has made the very difficult decision to retire UNC Online program listings and the Language Exchange.
Appalachian students wanting to register for an online course at another UNC system school should use the Visiting Coursework portal (via AppalNet) to request permission to take any course(s) away prior to taking the course(s) and, if approved by their college to take the course(s) away, will need to work directly with the visiting institution to research course availability and to register for the course(s).
