Open Entry/Open Exit (OE/OE)

Open entry/open exit courses are self-paced classes that allow students to fit the learning process around their other obligations. Students may register at any time, begin the course module immediately, and complete the coursework as quickly as they are able or, in most cases, take up to one year to complete it. Open entry/open exit courses are designated in the class schedule.

If registered for an OE/OE course, you may initiate a withdrawal either through the eleventh month after registration or the 12th week of the second semester for OE/OE telecourses. An IP grade given to allow you to progress into the next semester will be changed to a W upon official recording of the withdrawal. Beyond the stated times, you will be assigned with a W (if passing) or E by the instructor.

For students who register for an OE/OE telecourse prior to the beginning of a semester, the regular tuition refund will apply. For OE/OE courses registered for after the beginning of the semester, tuition refunds will be made if the course is dropped within one week of the posted registration.

Financial aid recipients must register for OE/OE classes during the regular semester registration period for the classes to be counted toward aid eligibility. If these courses are not completed in the registration semester, it may affect satisfactory progress for financial aid.
