Off-Campus Course Designation
This policy outlines eligibility for courses to be considered off campus and receive the off-campus tuition rate.
All Lawrence/Edwards campus courses
Eligibility
All off-campus course work must satisfy applicable Board of Regents policies and regulations. All course work must be offered and must meet outside the Lawrence Area. Course work will not be offered off-campus as a means to circumvent policies which dictate when resident and non-resident tuition rates should be assessed.
Terms
Tuition and fees are assessed on a credit-hour basis at rates equal to resident tuition, in addition to other applicable course fees as defined by the Comprehensive Tuition and Fee Schedule and Schedule of Fees. All Off-Campus-Credit courses have locations other than: Edwards Campus, Lawrence Campus, or KU Medical Center (KUMC).
Course work normally taught by appointment may be offered through an off-campus site outside the Lawrence Area provided the course work is an integral part of a degree program, which is offered at the same off-campus site and provided no instructional student/faculty contact will take place on the Lawrence Campus, Edwards Campus or the KUMC Campus. Eligible non-resident students are only those who are pursuing all other course work toward their degrees at the same off-campus site. The chairperson of the department offering the course will establish advising procedures to limit enrollment of eligible students. The chairperson will regularly review class rosters and initiate and administrative change of section to an on-campus section for any ineligible student.
The Provost Office will monitor off-campus course offerings for compliance with applicable regulations and policies and may announce additional guidelines for implementation.
