Student Services
- Admissions: Students who seek admission into the University to enroll in distance education classes will follow the admissions procedures defined by the University. Students currently admitted to the University do not require additional admission to enroll in distance education courses. Specific limitations apply to students classified as foreign or international students. Enrollment of foreign students in distance education courses must be completed in coordination with the International Student Advisor. The Center for Distance Learning may provide prospective students with information to help the students enroll in distance education courses. The Counsel will also inform prospective students of the resources necessary to participate in distance education courses. Upon admission, the student will receive a student account that will provide the student access to e-mail, on-line campus services, the library, and limited access to other campus resources.
- Bookstore: All students enrolled in distance education courses may access the bookstore during its posted hours. Students may also purchase course materials from the bookstore’s on-line services. The student will be responsible for the shipping expense.

When necessary, the library will accommodate reasonable requests to delivery reference materials through a common carrier.

The student will be responsible for the return shipping expense and is responsible for fees the library may assess for late returns or lost materials.
