Virtual Campus
Students attending a CTU physical campus will use various required classroom resources and materials, including textbooks, software and supplies. These materials are not included in the published tuition cost. For Colorado Springs books can be purchased at the Colorado Springs campus bookstore. For Denver South, books will be shipped to students through Words of Wisdom.
Each CTU campus houses a modern, spacious, resource center that supports the academic programs at its respective campus. Every CTU student has the opportunity to attend an orientation, which provides an overview of the campus resource center.
All students can access the following materials on the Virtual Campus/MyCampus Portal under the Books & Resources area of the classroom under Course Dashboard:
- Learning Materials: In this area, faculty members will upload important course documents such as the Course Expectations and presentations from live chat sessions when applicable. In addition, documents and links to unit specific course resources are provided for student review. This is also where students can access M.U.S.E.
- My Unique Student Experience (M.U.S.E.): These interactive and informative lessons help students to engage with various course concepts through text, video, and activities.
- Books & Guides: Most online courses utilize electronic books (e-books) made available via VitalSource that allows them to be printed or downloaded to an electronic device, such as a smartphone or tablet. These highly portable e-books still have the capability for highlighting, note-taking, and bookmarking.
- E-books and hard cover books are maintained by the Words of Wisdom (WOW) CTU bookstore. WOW will verify student’s shipping address shortly before each session when physical materials need to be sent. Materials should be received within three business days prior to the session start. Any concerns regarding course materials for an online course, can be handled by WOW at 877-288-7650, or at ctuonlinebooks@wordsofwisdombooks.com.
