Eligibility Requirements

Advisors look at the academic performance of students to determine whether they are eligible to take online courses. To be eligible to register for online classes, students must have a minimum grade point average of 2.0 and be in good academic standing at the time of registration. Students coming off academic dismissal are not eligible to register for online classes during their first term of re-enrollment. The registrar will administratively withdraw students from their online classes for the upcoming term if they are placed on academic probation at the end of the current term. Students who need to take multiple Learning Support courses in one content area (for example, ENGL 0096, ENGL 0097, and ENGL 0098) will not be allowed to take their first program-level course online.

Advisors consider students’ overall performance in online classes when determining registration eligibility. Furthermore, students who have failed a specific course or withdrew failing from a specific course will not be allowed to take an online version of that course. Finally, students who have never taken an online course must complete the Student Online Course Orientation and pass the assessment before meeting with their advisor.
