Correspondence Study 

The University of Wyoming was the first university west of the Missouri to offer correspondence courses.

Correspondence study from the University of Wyoming provides the opportunity to earn college-level course credit without attending regularly scheduled on-campus classes. Students can enroll in a course at any time, and the nine-month enrollment period allows students to complete coursework at their own pace.

Because correspondence study courses do not require classroom attendance, you need motivation, self-discipline, and good study habits in order to succeed. The course syllabus directs you step-by-step through the coursework and assigns written work for each unit of study. You prepare each written assignment and submit it to correspondence study along with any questions you have for your instructor. The instructor then corrects and grades your lesson, answers your questions, makes suggestions, and returns your work.

Exams are taken under the supervision of an approved proctor unless otherwise stated in the course syllabuses for teachers in collaboration with the College of Education and school districts.
