Policies for Students at Traditional Campuses Taking Courses Offered Through Online Education

In accord with the definition of the Commission on Colleges, the University defines online education as a formal educational process in which the majority of the instruction (interaction between students and instructors and among students) in a course occurs when students and instructors are not in the same place. Instruction may be synchronous or asynchronous. An online course may employ correspondence study, or audio, video, or computer technologies. Any course in which more than 49% of the course is offered with the instructor and the student not in the same place shall be clearly identified as an online education offering. These courses are offered as online courses through the University’s Department of Online Education and Campbell University Online.

The University is approved by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to offer online courses and programs.

All of the University’s online offerings are to be channeled through the University’s Department of Online Education. The role of the Department of Online Education is to provide training and administrative oversight to the range of matters required for online education. To be offered, all online courses must have approval of the appropriate deans.

Policies for Students Taking Courses Online

  1. Cumulative: Students may take no more than 49% of the semester credit hours for the degree online. This means that for the associate degree requiring 62 semester hours, no more than 30 semester hours can be completed online. For the bachelor’s degree requiring 124 semester hours, no more than 60 semester hours can be completed online. These limits of 30 and 60 are the maximum allowable hours of online courses, taking into account core curriculum and majors hours combined.
  2. Core Curriculum: A full range of general education core courses may be made available and taken through online courses, as long as the maximum allowance of 49% for each student degree is not violated.
  3. Transfer Students: Regardless of the number of hours accepted in transfer, students will not be allowed to complete through online more than 49% of their semester hours taken with Campbell.
  4. Exception for Online Students: Students pursuing a fully online degree are not restricted by the above policies.

Policies for Students Taking Online Programs

Students may enroll in an unlimited number of online courses at Campbell, if they apply and are accepted to CU Online (online.campbell.edu). Campbell offered more than 26 fully-online programs and certificates. All students in Online programs are Adult and Online Education students.

Online students may be able to take face-to-face courses at Adult and Online Education locations.  Students are responsible for obtaining base access where applicable and must check with the campus they wish to attend to see if there are any base rules or regulations governing which courses they can take.

Online students may take face-to-face courses at the Main Campbell campus according to the policies described above, which apply to all Adult and Online Students.

Online Education Attendance/Course Participation Policy

Campbell University believes that students must attend class in order to attain the course learning outcomes. The expectation for students in blended or online courses is no different in this regard than for traditional courses. The University attendance policy found in the Undergraduate Studies Bulletin requires students to attend at least 85% of the classes held in order to receive academic credit for a course.

Though with a different delivery mode and different definition of participation, the same class attendance/course participation expectations hold for blended or online courses. Student attendance in blended or online courses is defined as active and consistent participation in the course as described in the individual course syllabus. Online and blended courses will, at a minimum, have weekly requirements for student participation which can be documented by any or all of the following methods:

  • Completion of tests
  • Submission/completion of assignments as specified by the professor/instructor
  • Communication with the professor/instructor concerning course content

Students in online or blended courses must demonstrate their participation by the last day of the published add/drop period for the term or semester in order to verify their enrollment. Students who fail to maintain active participation in an online or blended course will receive a failing grade.
