An annual plan for off-campus courses is submitted to the Coordinating Board in March preceded by notification of regional peer institutions. The deadline for departments to submit courses for the annual plan is January 31. In emergency situations, approval can be obtained by telephone up to the date of registration if a course is not questioned by another institution. However, this procedure is reserved for exceptional circumstances. Immediate approval of extension courses is usually obtainable.
Extension courses are self-supporting.
There must be sufficient enrollment to cover the salary and travel of the instructor. Extension teaching is carried by the instructor as an overload. The clientele to be served should be identified specifically prior to submission of the course for approval. It is not necessary for extension courses to adhere to the semester calendar. A master schedule for each location will be prepared by the Dean of the College of Education.
