Correspondence Instruction
GENERAL INFORMATION
By means of the correspondence study service college courses from
the regular curriculum are made available to the student away from
the campus. The correspondence system, moreover, has long since
passed the experimental stage, and the practical values of development
of personal initiative, self-reliance, accuracy, and perseverance
have come to be widely recognized.
Types of Students.-Correspondence courses are well adapted to the
needs of the following types of students:
(1) Graduates of accredited high schools, and former college students
who, though they are prevented by financial or other reasons
from attending college, desire to continue their education.
(2) Teachers and school administrators who desire to complete
courses leading toward teachers' certificates or to gain special training
in selected branches of instruction.
(3) Prospective students of professional schools, or prospective
applicants for professional degrees, who desire to secure prerequisite
academic credits prior to their admission to the professional school
or during their temporary withdrawal from school.
(4) Senior students whose deans recommend correspondence study
to provide a prescribed course not currently scheduled in residence or
to eliminate a conflict in schedule.
(5) Ambitious persons who desire, while pursuing a vocation, to
study for cultural improvement or vocational efficiency.
Regulations.--(1) Applicants who have met the requirements for
college entrance are admissible to correspondence study. They may
begin a course at any time.
(2) Credit in a course of three semester hours can be granted in a
minimum of forty-five days and a maximum of one year from date of
registration. Failure of the student to report for ninety days constitutes
a lapse of his enrollment and necessitates his application for
reinstatement. If his application is granted, a fee of $1.00 is assessed.(3) A resident student in this or other institutions is allowed to
register by correspondence, or to continue correspondence work already
in progress, only with the approval of his dean. If a correspondence
student entering in residence is required to drop his correspondence
work, he will be given an extension equal to the period of his resident
enrollment.
(4) Not more than one-half of the hours required for a degree
may be earned by correspondence, and a maximum of twelve semester
hours is allowed in one academic session for students engaged in full
time employment.4
