ETSU RODP Permit Request Form
Request Permission for a Non-RODP Major to Enroll in an RODP Course

INFORMATION: You are requesting a Regents Online Degree Program course. The course is offered through Desire2Learn
and can be accessed at https://elearn.rodp.org/ . You will not be able to access your courses until the first day of classes.
Consult the RODP website at www.rodp.org for information about RODP courses and programs and how RODP operates. All
course delivery is online. You will be expected to login to your course the first day of class. However, you may be
required to come to campus (or a campus close to you) to take a proctored exam. These proctored exams may only be
required twice during the semester, for a midterm and a final. Any other tests or assignments will take place online.

FEES: Fees for RODP courses are accessed differently than ETSU courses. Students enrolled in an RODP Course will pay
the standard maintenance fee, out of state fees as applicable, plus an additional RODP fee. The 2011-2012 additional fee for an
RODP course is $80 per credit hour.

BOOKS: You will need to use the RODP Bookstore to determine which book is used for your RODP course. The ETSU
bookstore may not carry the book and will not know what book is required. The RODP Bookstore can be accessed at:
www.rodp.bkstr.com. Once the book ISBN is determined the book can be purchased from any location.

ADVISEMENT: You will need to contact the appropriate advisor in your major or minor to be sure that this course will be
accepted as part of your degree program. Permits for RODP courses require a signature from your advisor. A list of
advisors for your program can be found at: (http://www.etsu.edu/advisement/continuingstudents/AdvisorContactList.aspx)
RODP courses qualify to meet general education requirements when the RODP courses match ETSU course prefixes and
numbers, see: (http://www.etsu.edu/uged/gened/StudentsandParents/requirementsnew.aspx).

REGISTRATION: After the RODP Permit is entered you will still need to register for the requested course through Goldlink.
Permit requests following the first day of class will not be permitted. You should complete registration before the first day of
classes.
