titleEnrolled in an Online course?

All online courses are supported by COPH Office of Educational Technology and Assessment (ETA). The ETA office in conjunction with course instructors, prepares Course-at-a-glance documents for all online courses. The CAGs assist students in learning more about the course, its requirements, course expectations, types of assessments and important testing dates for a given semester. To access these documents, go to the Online Course Listing and click on the course of interest.

Once registered, students in all online public health courses are expected to meet certain requirements to successfully participate in their courses. Failure to meet these requirements may cause problems accessing the course materials. It is the student's responsibility to ensure all requirements are met prior to the start of the semester. For a list of technology requirements, how to access your online course website, and order course materials, visit ETA's Technology Requirements page.

These supplemental modules will not count towards your certification, yet the additional educational information may influence and cultivate your research positively. Once you complete your CITI certification, the updated certificate should appear in the ARC system automatically; however, if your updated certificate does not generate in BullsIRB as you are completing research applications, please contact the ARC Help Desk at  RSCH-ARC@usf.edu and our Help Desk team will be able to upload your certificate for you.
