- A world-class online library that is available 24/7, so you have access to scholarly research when you want it.

How it works
We believe that every adult deserves the opportunity to earn a college degree. University of Phoenix was established to provide options for a high-quality, higher education.
We offer classes on campus and online, so you can pursue your educational goals, work, and keep up with all of your other commitments. While widely available, not all learning formats are offered at all locations.
Campus-based learning.
Go to class near your home or work.
- Attend class once a week at night or on the weekend. At some campuses, you can choose day classes, too.
- Meet with your learning team at least once a week.
- Complete assignments on your own, as well as with your learning team.
Online learning.
Go to class online from anywhere you want.
- Online learning lets you participate in class through online forums.
- You access reading materials, lectures, questions and assignments online from your instructor, so you can study when and where you want.
- Build teamwork skills by collaborating on assignments with your learning team online.
Financial options
Let's face it, college is expensive. But that's no excuse for not going to school. There are a lot of ways to pay for your education, including grants, scholarships, loans, payment plans and more.
Federal Financial Aid
We participate in many federal student aid programs, including low-interest Stafford student loans, PLUS Loans and the Federal Pell Grant Program. There is no charge for processing financial aid applications. Your Enrollment Advisor can discuss these options with you and walk you through the process, while helping you with your application for admission.
Financing options
We offer numerous options for financing your education. Our cash payment plans let you pay for one course or block at a time, rather than an entire semester or year at once. Alternatively, pre-paying tuition will guarantee that your rate will not increase for the duration of your program.
Company funding
University of Phoenix is eligible for most company reimbursement programs. In fact, many of our students receive all or part of their tuition from their employers.

Definitions
Cookies
Data created by a web server that is stored on a user's computer. It provides a way for the website to keep track of a user's patterns and preferences and, with the cooperation of the Web browser, to store them on the user's own hard disk.
Cookies contain a range of URLs (web addresses) for which they are valid. When the browser encounters those URLs again, it sends those specific cookies to the web server. For example, if a user's ID was stored as a cookie, it would save that user from typing in the same information again when accessing that service for the second and subsequent times during the same browser session.
You can opt out of the use of cookies by having your browser disable cookies or warn you before accepting a cookie. Look for the cookie options in your browser under the Options or Preferences menu.
NOTE: If you disable cookies in your browser, you will not be able to access any of the University's secured websites.
IP (Internet Protocol) address
This is the address of a computer attached to a TCP/IP network. Every client and server station must have a unique IP address. Client workstations have either a permanent address or one that is dynamically assigned for each dial-up session. IP addresses are written as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example, 204.171.64.2.
Browser session
A browser session is defined as the period of time a browser is in consecutive use. The session begins when you open the browser and ends when you close it. When you reopen the browser, you begin a new session.
SSL encryption (Secure Sockets Layer)
The leading security protocol on the Internet. When an SSL session is started, the browser sends its public key to the server so that the server can securely send a secret key to the browser. The browser and server exchange data via secret key encryption during that session. We also use SSL encryption whenever we display your personal information (e.g., name and address, scheduled courses, grades).
