Due to continuing issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic MTSU will continue to offer courses in a variety of instructional methods in the Spring 2021 semester. While many classes remain on campus in a traditional or web-assisted manner, some courses will not meet on campus and instead be offered in an online, hybrid, or remote learning format. Descriptions of each type of course, including how to identify them, can be found below.
Out-of-state students in all online or asynchronous remote classes can qualify for the eRate tuition rate ONLY if they are in courses meeting entirely online . Remote courses with a meeting pattern do NOT qualify for the eRate tuition rate, only asynchronous remote courses and official MTSU Online courses will qualify a student for eRate.
University Policy 313, Student Grade Appeals, provides an avenue for MTSU students to appeal a final course grade in cases in which the student alleges that unethical or unprofessional actions by the instructor and/or grading inequities improperly impacted the final grade.
Incomplete grades are given rarely and only in extenuating circumstances. Page 56 of the MTSU Undergraduate Catalog states: “The grade I indicates that the student has not completed all course requirements because of illness or other uncontrollable circumstances, especially those which occur toward the end of the term. Mere failure to make up work or turn in required work on time does not provide the basis for the grade of “I” unless extenuating circumstances noted above are present for reasons acceptable to the instructor.” Please refer to the Undergraduate catalog for the complete Incomplete Grade Policy.
MTSU Administration requires that instructors complete an attendance report for each course each semester. Regular class attendance is required and will be monitored by: the D2L system report; participation in the discussion board; and timely submission of course assignments. If several class assignment submissions are missing, student attendance will be reported as “no longer attending.”
