In an effort to provide greater, 24-hour access and increase campus-wide efforts to become more eco-friendly, Stevens Institute of Technology will be maintaining an online system that will enable all students to receive invoices electronically and make online payments by logging onto a third-party secure website.

E-billing will offer the following benefits to our students and parents:

Private, secure and convenient access to invoices, making payments and online payment history

Services available worldwide, via the internet 24 hours a day/7 days a week

Email notification when a new billing statement is available – paper statements are eliminated

Pay online

Ability to print an E-Bill at any time via the internet

Ability to print additional copies of E-Bills for employers who offer company reimbursement
Through our online course delivery platform, WebCampus, we have made web conferencing applications available for any instructor and/or group of students who wants to use them. These applications add a real-time component to online courses—usually for lectures, Q/A sessions, and even team presentations. Instructors schedule the real-time class events as needed. Some instructors use them every week or every other week; others use them once or twice a semester. These events can be recorded so you can play them back later on, which comes in handy if you miss the actual session. Alternately, some instructors use pre-recorded lectures on an "on-demand" basis.
Details about how team assignments are to be conducted and graded are included in each course syllabus file. Many instructors (particularly for management courses) use a mix of team and individual assignments throughout the semester. In a typical teamwork-oriented course, teams are formed at or near the beginning of the term. The instructor may assign students to teams or have the students form teams on their own. Team members select whichever study methods work best for them, whether it involves email, conference calls, web conferences, or a mixture of all three. (The Interwise web conferencing system can be made available to students who need to coordinate team activities.) Upon completion, team assignments may be posted in the discussion area for comment, or presented to the rest of the class in a web conference, or both.
Details about how final exams are administered and graded are included in each course syllabus file. A week is set aside at the end of each semester for instructors to deliver final exams if they wish to do so.

Students may have several days in which to take their exams. WebCT exams can be automated, with any combination of multiple choice, true/false, or fill-in-the-blank questions. Grades for these automated exams are available immediately after submitting the final answer. Instructors pre-set the number of hours that students have to complete their tests once they click the exam start button. Questions and answers are randomized so that no two students will receive exactly the same test.

Essay questions may also be given, though in these cases, instructor intervention is required before grades can be posted. Some instructors may choose alternate modes of testing, such as faxed or mailed test sheets. In rare cases, instructors may wish to use proctoring centers, in which case students would need to report to a testing site to take their exam.

Not all instructors make use of a final examination if there were multiple assessments of student understanding performed throughout the semester.
You can drop and add courses to your schedule through myStevens up until the final deadline at the beginning of each term. After the deadline you must submit the Change of Enrollment Form to the Office of the Registrar with the appropriate signatures. You can email the form to [email protected] for help with obtaining signatures or by emailing the appropriate faculty and program directors.
