No correspondence course may be completed without the permission of the student’s Department Chair. A permit signed by the Department Chair must be filed in the Office of Admission & Records before registration for the course.

The statement of intent must be approved by the Department Chair and filed in the Admission and Records Office no later than the last day to apply for graduation.
