Even though taught by another campus, distance learning courses are offered for campus-based credit. Distance learning courses are likely to fall into two categories. The first category includes courses that are an integral part of the curriculum of the campuses participating in the distance learning courses. The second category covers courses used as electives on the non-originating campuses. Both categories of distance learning courses will be offered for campus-based credit.
Course numbering assignments and credit designations are the prerogative of a campus.
Each distance learning course should be given an appropriate course number and credit designation by the faculty of each campus where the course is offered. There should be a common translation table maintained at the system level that articulates course equivalents. All distance learning courses will be graded with grades calculating into GPAs and Cums. Because transfer courses do not receive grades and are not calculated into the GPAs or Cums, distance learning courses will not be considered transfer courses. Any distance learning course taken through the student's home campus will be counted towards residency requirements.
