Course Delivery Course Delivery Courses delivered by Engineering Outreach are recorded in University of Idaho studio classrooms and produced for online delivery by EO; they are semester-based and have the same course completion date as oncampus classes. Internet access is required for all EO students to view and/or download course sessions and materials, access and manage VandalMail, and facilitate university services and processes
Engineering Outreach Portal Students access online course sessions through the portal link on the EO home page. EO students receive online access on the first day of class, and course sessions are available approximately two hours after being encoded. Sessions may be viewed online or downloaded and saved. Students also access handouts and graded materials in the EO Portal.
Online Sessions In-class sessions are encoded in high-definition MPEG-4 format. Broadband access (e.g., DSL, cable or wireless) and a PC or Mac are required for downloading sessions. Students may also view sessions using an Apple iOS or Android device, and may subscribe to their online course sessions using iTunes or via an RSS feed.

Semester Deadline The EO course completion deadline for fall 2015 is Dec. 18, 2015, at 3 p.m. Pacific time. Final exams for live courses will become available in the EO Portal for proctors to access during finals week on campus; all exams for pre-encoded courses will be available to proctors at the beginning of the semester. It is critical that the student coordinates closely with the proctor to ensure the final exam reaches EO by the deadline.
If a student is viewing EO courses using a military computer or a restricted-access computer at a workplace and has security concerns about EO course delivery, contact Terri Gaffney, the EO associate director, to discuss delivery alternatives. She can be reached at 800-824-2889 or terrig@uidaho.edu.
Disability Support Services
Final Course Grades and Transcripts
University of Idaho’s Disability Support Services Office (DSS) provides academic support services to students with temporary or permanent disabilities. Students requesting accommodation may send an email to DSS at dss@uidaho.edu. Appropriate disability documentation must be provided and exam accommodation requests must be made each semester. Visit www.uidaho.edu/studentaffairs/ asap/dss for more information.
Students may log in to VandalWeb to view final course grades and unofficial transcripts. Official transcripts may be ordered from the Office of the Registrar; visit www.uidaho.edu/registrar/ transcripts for more information.
Incompletes A grade of “incomplete” can only be assigned if a student has done passing work, but extenuating circumstances make it impossible to complete the course on time. The course instructor will assign the extended deadline. Prior to requesting a grade of incomplete, refer to the most current University of Idaho General Catalog at www.uidaho.edu/registrar/classes/catalogs, select “General Requirements and Academic Procedures,” then select “Section F — Grades of Incomplete” for detailed information.
Library Services University of Idaho Library services are available to Engineering Outreach students at www.lib.uidaho.edu, and video tutorials are provided for off-campus students. Many journal articles are accessible online or by email through interlibrary loan. Select the Distance Education link for information about services and how to obtain a library ID number.
Instructor Contact
Students who receive a grade of incomplete must visit the EO Portal by Dec. 27, 2015, to download any sessions necessary to complete the course. EO will notify proctors regarding the exam process for students who have a grade of incomplete.
Instructors can be reached by mail, email, fax or by calling Engineering Outreach at 800-824-2889. Select the Instructor Directory link on the EO home page to view contact information. 8
