It is recommended that you take only one course at a time until you find your optimum work rate. Correspondence hours do count in the load limits restrictions as detailed in the University catalog under Load Limit for Credit Hours. If you have been placed on academic difficulty , special guidance , or probation you are not permitted to enroll in correspondence courses . If you are an SBU off-campus center student, you must obtain the approval of your center director or designated advisor. As an SBU student, you may not exceed the maximum credit load through enrolling in correspondence courses.
All credit is in semester hours.
No more than 3 correspondence hours can be applied to the associate degree during the last 18 hours of coursework. The Provost must approve any exceptions to this policy. If all correspondence work is not completed and submitted by the appropriate date, the University will remove the student's name from the graduation list and program. All SBU students who expect to graduate in December 2001, May 2002, or July 2002 should submit all assignments and examinations according to the schedule outlined below. These dates have been determined by the University for the timely submission of grade reports to the Registrar for graduation.
