This study examines the motivation levels of students studying in undergraduate and associate degree programs towards e-learning regarding their expectations from the distance education process. In this context, 1744 students studying in undergraduate and associate degree programs of a university located in Turkey's western Black Sea region and taking YÖK 5I courses through distance education were included in the research sample. "Motivation Questionnaire for E-Learning Environments" was used to collect data. In addition, open-ended questions about students' impressions of distance education were asked to determine the acquisition they have achieved. According to the research findings, the average general motivation level of the students is at the "medium" level. It was determined that the motivation levels of undergraduate students were higher than those of associate students, and when their motivation levels were examined in terms of their expectations from the course they took with distance education, the motivation of the students who thought that they did not get any acquisition from the course was determined to be at the lowest level. Moreover, considering whether the motivation levels of the students differ according to the acquisition they have achieved, it has been observed that the motivation levels of the students who think that they have not achieved any acquisition differ significantly from the motivation levels of the students in other categories, except for the "achievement" category. Finally, when the students' views on the continuation of distance education are examined in terms of their motivation levels, it is seen that the motivation levels of the students who find distance education productive and want to continue to differ significantly from the motivation levels of the students who prefer face-to-face education and students who prefer distance education when it is provided.
