Faculty/student interaction is critical for student success in an online environment. Online methods of interaction include online lectures, email, document sharing, and threaded discussions. Faculty members review and respond to student requests within a 24-hour time period.
For distance education learning, all assignment grades, except those identified below, are due within 72 hours of the due date. I. Discussion Boards must be graded within 72 hours of the Discussion Board closure. II. Any assignments due within 48 hours of the end of the course must be graded within 48 hours.
Ground students who have opted to take some of their General Education courses online receive the same benefits as fully online students in regard to faculty interaction. However, student advising during midterms and finals will be the responsibility of the campus at which the student is enrolled.
