DLP Resident Guidelines
It is very important to your
academic success and financial
situation to fully understand all that
is involved with taking your DLP
classes. Please review the following
points as it may affect your
academic and financial standing.
Distance Learning Facts
• The length of the semester is either 8-weeks or 16-weeks (most of our
courses are offered in the 8-week format).
• DLP courses are not academically easier than resident courses. In some
ways they can be much more difficult. Students must discipline themselves to
manage their time wisely. This is the key to success through DLP.
• Courses completed through DLP are part of the student's official
academic record; therefore the grades earned will be calculated into their
cumulative GPA.
Student Responsibilities
Verify Financial Aid - Resident students may use their Institutional
Scholarships for DLP courses. Students’ Federal & State aid might be
adjusted if taking DLP courses or changing load. It is the student’s
responsibility to check with the Financial Aid office about these
matters before signing up for DLP courses or before changing their
schedule in any way.
Signatures- In most cases signatures will not be needed on your
registration form. Please contact your CASAS Advisor for
information on which signatures you may need.
Important Policies
Course Drops –
A student may “drop” a course before the start date or drop/add deadline
listed on the website, and receive a full refund. Drop requests must be
made on a drop/add form and signed by your CASAS Professional
Advisor. There is a no drop policy once the course has begun. Students
who pay by financial aid must be enrolled in at least six credit hours per
semester.
Course Withdrawals –
Once a student is enrolled in a course and it has been activated on the start
date, a student may only withdraw from the course. Withdraw requests
must be made in writing or on a withdrawal form to your CASAS
Professional Advisor before the end date. Students should consult the
Resident Undergraduate Catalog for other withdrawal information..
Important Policies continued
Demonstrating Academic Progress:
Students are expected to submit tests and course work throughout the term. At the
end of the first week of each sub term, courses are reviewed to determine if the
student is attending (logging on to the course and participating) in the course. If the
student has not attended, the student will be dropped from the course roster and will
not be allowed to submit further course work.
Students who begin attendance but eventually cease progressing toward the
completion of the course will be assigned a grade of F during the semester.
If the student receives all Fs in a term, the student is subject to the
Unofficial Withdrawal procedure which includes the reduction and/or
return of all Financial Aid.
