Application Procedure: Complete the Online
Application form also available in the Admissions Office.
Note: Students entering by this abbreviated application
process may take no more than six credit hours per semester
and no more than 12 credit hours total.
A student who wishes to continue beyond 12 hours
must complete the full admission application. All application
materials must be received before acceptance may be granted.
The Admissions Department will notify the applicant of
the decision.
Admissions Requirements: Vennard College admissions
requirements for students taking online courses are generally
the same as for students enrolled in onsite courses.
Registration: Students may take a maximum of two
online courses per semester. Online program applicants must
meet the same academic requirements as all other undergraduate
students.
Normally, a residential student may not enroll in
an online course in a semester when the equivalent course
is being taught in the classroom.
Online and onsite courses may be used interchangeably to
meet the school's graduation requirements provided
that the courses have either been taken with the College
or have been accepted in transfer by the College.
Students under academic restrictions will not be
permitted to take online courses.
You may enroll in a course without being admitted to
an academic degree program, but we encourage you to
consider selecting an academic program.
A maximum of 30 credit hours may be applied toward
completion of a program of study at Vennard College. Students
will register for online courses just like onsite courses.
Registration instructions for online and onsite courses
will be provided by the Academic Office during the course
of the academic year. The student must meet with the appropriate
academic advisor for registration assistance. Early registration
is encouraged since each online professor will determine
class size.
Repeating a Course: Students will not be permitted
to take an online course to replace a grade received in
an on-campus course.
Attendance: Our online "attendance" requirements
differ from on-campus requirements due to the unique nature
and compressed time frames of online learning.
Online courses are designed as outcome-based not
attendance-based courses. This means that in online courses
it matters more that you complete your assignments than
when you complete them. This allows students to have maximum
flexibility in completing their work when it is convenient
for them. As a result, students are expected to complete
all assignments according to the due dates and deadlines
in the course schedule and adhere to the guidelines and
instructions published in the course syllabus and given
by the professor. The only exceptions granted will be with
faculty approval and these will only be permitted with necessary
and reasonable requests.
Auditing: There will be no auditing of online courses. |
