Correspondence Courses

Students in residence who are carrying regular course work in the School of Education may take correspondence courses only in exceptional cases with the permission of the Office of Teacher Education at Bloomington or the Education Student Services office on other campuses. If a correspondence course is to be applied toward graduation requirements during the current semester, it must be completed at least 15 days prior to the close of regular campus classes that semester.

The student will not be given credit toward the Bachelor of Science in Education degree for more than 18 credit hours of course work taken by correspondence. EDUC E343, K205, M135, and M333 (and MATH 130/132 or EDUC E495 at IUPUI) may not be taken by correspondence and be counted toward the degree. The speech requirement also may not be taken by correspondence and be counted toward the degree.

At IUPUI, students will not be permitted to sign up for correspondence courses within one year of planned student teaching. Students must have a GPA of 3.0 and some experience within the area of study in which they wish to take a correspondence course.
