Success Initiative Requirements |
In addition to those classes delivered on our campus, Texas A&M University- Commerce is proud to present two delivery options to assist you in completing classes. Distance Education/Telecommunications Register for the campus where you will be attending class as indicated in the schedule. If enrolled in a distance education/telecommunications course offered by Texas A&M University-Commerce, each student understands that his/her voice, physical presence, and participation in classroom activities will be transmitted to distance learning sites and could be electronically recorded. Each student agrees that his/her voice, presence, and participation, and the electronic recording of these classes will not be a violation of personal rights and releases any claims for such use. Two-Way Interactive Video (Televised Instruction) Many courses are offered in locations throughout Northeast Texas via televised instruction (the instructor is in one location, but you will be able to see, hear, and interact with him/her). Most instructors travel to remote sites at least twice during the semester. Please refer to the Off Campus Courses section for locations of courses offered in your area. Televised Instruction courses are indicated by the section number followed by an “R” for receiving, or an “S” for sending. We welcome your input regarding courses to be delivered in the future and want assist you in any way possible. Please contact: Charlotte
Larkin Online (delivered to any computer having Internet access) courses are offered each semester. A complete listing of online courses is available here. For more information regarding online courses, please see here. Students may drop a class with a full refund (if remaining enrolled) until the twelfth class day during the Fall and Spring semesters and fourth class day during the summer terms. Drop dates vary for sub-term and ten-week courses. A Course Drop Request Form may be obtained at the Office of the Registrar. The student must obtain approval from the department/instructor. The drop/add sheet is returned to the Office of the Registrar. A course dropped after census date in a term that is being passed may be dropped with a grade of “DP” and will not calculate into GPA (see the Academic Calendar for specific dates). After the first twelve days of class of any semester or after the first four days of class of any summer term, the instructor may permit a student to officially drop a class in which the student is not passing. For other shortened format or sub-term classes, drop dates vary. A grade of “DF” may be reported at the end of the semester for students who are failing at the time of the drop. A course dropped resulting in a “DF” will be included in the GPA calculation as an “F”. Withdrawal refunds for students receiving federal funds is based on how much Title IV aid a student has received and not earned at the time of withdrawal. The amount of aid earned is calculated on a pro rata basis through 60% of the term. Contact our Financial Aid Office BEFORE withdrawing for additional information about this new law. Mid-term and Final grade reports will not be mailed. Grades are accessible through myLeo, or by written or faxed requests (903-886-5888), or from the Office of the Registrar. Midterm grades (D’s and F’s only) are assigned to undergraduate students only. Students assigned a midterm grade are encouraged to discuss their grade with their instructor. Application for graduation must be made with the Office of the Registrar during the semester in which a student plans to graduate. See the graduation website for more information. Refunds are based on total assessed tuition, not total tuition paid. A class dropped by the official reporting date will result in a reduction in total assessed tuition provided the student remains enrolled for that semester. No reduction will be given for courses dropped after these days. Refunds for dropped classes are mailed approximately five weeks after the first class day. 2nd class day—3 week courses Refunds for Withdrawals from the University Withdrawal refunds are determined by the number of enrolled semester credit hours at the time of withdrawal. Withdrawal percentages are applied to the total amount tuition and fees as prescribed by state law, not the amount paid. The semester’s first class day is always the first official day of the semester, not the first day of an individual’s class. Fall and Spring Semesters 100% prior to 1st class day Shortened Format Courses (3 weeks) 100% prior to 1st class day Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic support assistance program that increases student performance in traditionally difficult academic courses. SI sessions integrate how-to-learn with what-to-learn. Participation is voluntary. However, participants frequently earn overall higher course grades and withdraw from the University less often than non-SI participants. University Studies courses are identified in the schedule with a prefix “US” preceding the title of the course; for example, HIST 121.001 US-American Heritage Withdrawal From The University It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from classes if they do not plan to attend during the semester in which they have enrolled. |
