Here is some clarification regarding E-campus courses counting toward full-time enrollment status for graduate students, as a follow up to the announcement\/information on this subject sent by Brenda McComb in early November.<\/p>\n
Effective winter 2012 (this term), the E-campus course exclusion for registration requirements for graduate assistants (GRA\/GTA) appointment and qualification for graduate scholarships has been removed.\u00a0 E-campus credits will be viewed as no different than on-campus courses, and will count toward reaching full-time enrollment status (12-credits) for graduate students. Similarly, E-campus courses will count toward full-time enrollment status for graduate scholarships and fellowships, and scholarship\/fellowship tuition relief programs.<\/p>\n
We are piloting this program for one year (winter 2012 through fall 2012); at the end of that period, a decision will be made as to whether this will be continued.\u00a0 Financial impacts to programs offering\u00a0E-campus\u00a0graduate courses will only be felt when a graduate student receiving a tuition remission or waiver takes an\u00a0E-campus course.\u00a0 For those students with a tuition waiver,\u00a0E-campus and the unit offering the course will see a reduction in tuition revenue. If a grant pays tuition remission for on campus course credits it will also pay for\u00a0E-campus course credits.<\/p>\n
Analysis of the current situation is that few on-campus graduate students currently take\u00a0E-campus courses, so the financial impact will be small.<\/p>\n
Examples:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Student fees are not covered by the GRA\/GTA fee waiver nor for scholarship tuition relief waivers; any additional student fees charged for E-campus courses therefore must be covered by the student regardless of tuition waiver, just as on-campus course fees must be paid by the student.<\/p>\n
