Criteria for Granting Registration and/or Multiple Course Exceptions to On-Campus Students for Online Courses

The following circumstances will be grounds for considering student requests for exception from the online course policies preventing on-campus students from registering for online courses and/or preventing on-campus students from taking more than one online course per semester. Note that the presence of one or more of these circumstances does not automatically guarantee the granting of an exception. Each student’s request will be considered individually.

1. The course is necessary to complete the on-campus student’s graduation requirements. The student must be eligible for graduation at the end of the semester in which the course is being offered. In addition, the course must not be offered in any on-campus format during that semester or, if it is, there must be an unavoidable schedule conflict with another required course.
2. The student commutes 50 miles or more one way in order to attend on-campus courses.
3. The student is suffering a physical injury, disease, or disability limiting their ability to attend on-campus courses.
4. The student has firmly established plans to move away from the Louisville area (more than 120 miles) during the semester in which the course is offered.
5. The respective school dean determines whether the student has experienced an extraordinary circumstance predicating the need to register early. Full-time employment does not qualify as an extraordinary circumstance.
