Enrollment in College of Graduate and Extended Studies Online Courses

College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (CLAS) students requesting permission to enroll in online or statewide courses during the Fall or Spring semesters must meet one of the following eligibility criteria:

Through no fault of his/her own, the student must enroll in a specific course to graduate and said course is not available before graduation in CLAS. (If a student postpones taking said course until his/her Senior year that could have been taken earlier, the student may not qualify for enrollment under this criterion.)
The student will benefit educationally by taking a course and is recommended by his/her advisor, has approval of the Provost, and agrees to pay all tuition/fees required to take the course above regular CLAS tuition and fees.

Students should contact their academic advisors for further details. In most cases, CGES undergraduate tuition applies for any CGES undergraduate courses (see current CGES catalog for undergraduate tuition per credit hour). The Provost might waive CGES tuition if a required CLAS course is unavailable on ground in Fayette, if a CGES course alleviates an unavoidable CLAS schedule conflict, and/or if a CGES course is needed for timely graduation. For CLAS Special Education majors, CGES courses are counted in load (as part of the CLAS tuition) since Special Education courses are available only online for both colleges. If the student's Fayette (on-ground CLAS) hours do not total more than 12 hours and if the Provost does not waive a student's CGES tuition for the online course(s), the student will be considered a part-time Fayette (CLAS) student, which will affect the student's financial assistance and athletic/performance eligibility.
