Pacific College Distance Education therefore requires the current minimal standard for authentication: all distance education course work must be accomplished through a secure course management system with unique usernames and passwords each time a student engages in online coursework. Response Times for Distance Education Pacific College supports the timely completion of student evaluations of learning outcomes by qualified faculty, which are appropriate for use with the distance education methods used, and evaluated by qualified faculty. Pacific College will employ a sufficient number of faculty to assure that (A) the institution's response to, or evaluation of, each student lesson is returned to the student within 10 days after the lesson is received by the institution; and (B) the institution's response to, or evaluation of, each student project or assignment is returned to the student within the time disclosed below. The recommended instructor response time to student inquiries is to respond within 24 hours during business days, and 48 hours for non -business days. If the instructor cannot provide a detailed response to the inquiry within these time frames, it is recommended that the instructor inform the student regarding when a more detailed response will be provided. Pacific College shall maintain a record of the dates on which lessons, projects, and reports were received and responses were returned to each student. Auditing Course/Term A person who is not a current student but fully intends to enroll in the College and wishes to audit a course/term must first complete an application for enrollment. They must also submit their request to audit a course/term in writing with supporting documentation. The request is then reviewed and approved on a space -available basis by the Program Director or Vice President of Instruction. College alumni will be permitted to audit one course in any program. No academic credit is awarded for any audited class. Audited courses/terms are not eligible for financial aid. Bar From Attendance Students may not attend classes if they have failed to: • Submit proof of high school graduation; • Submit official academic transcripts from previous postsecondary institutions; • Meet Admission Requirements; • Respond to official notices from the College; • Bring current their financial account. Students who are not permitted to attend are typically given advance notice. However, if the student fails to respond or has a history of not responding to notices, they will be subject to action up to and including withdrawal from school without prior notice. A student withdrawn for this reason will not have access to any college services until they have been reinstated by the College. The College will drop the student from all current and future courses if deemed necessary. Students will not be able to attend or receive a grade for these classes. Cancellation of Classes or Programs The College reserves the right to cancel or postpone a class or a program if student enrollment is insufficient. However, every effort will be made to cancel the class or program well in advance of the intended start date. Pacific College 2022-2023 Catalog 37
