  1. US Department of Education Federal Student Aid (FSA) Note: To receive Title IV funding, higher education institutions must following FSA program requirements for “distance education.” http://www.ifap.ed.gov/fsahandbook/attachments/0910FSAHbkVol2Ch8DistanceEd.pdf

  2. Federal Student Aid 2009-10 Applicability ofFederal Student Aid program requirements “Two types of distance education are defined in the regulations: (1) correspondenceand (2) telecommunications programs. Telecommunications programs are treated in the same way as traditional residential programs. Correspondence programs are subject to certain restrictions: no more than 50% of a school’s programs may be offered through correspondence study, and no more than 50% of a school’s regular students may be enrolled in correspondence programs.” (Chapter 8, 2-99)

  3. Federal Student Aid 2009-10 “A telecommunications course is one that is offered principally through the use of one or more technologies to deliver instruction to students who are separated from the instructor and to support regular and substantive interaction between these students and the instructor, whether asynchronously or in “real-time.” (Chapter 8, 2-99)

  4. Federal Student Aid 2009-10 Telecommunications courses include: • Television, audio, or computer transmission through open broadcast, closed circuit, cable, microwave, or satellite • Audio and computer conferencing • Video cassettes or disc recordings if that course is delivered to students physically attending classes at the school providing the course during the same award year • Regular and substantive interaction between students and the instructor (Chapter 8, 2-99)

  5. Federal Student Aid 2009-10 • “A correspondence course is a home-study course provided by a school under which the school provides instructional materials, including examinations on the materials, to students who are not physically attending classes at the school. When a student completes a portion of the instructional materials, the student takes the examinations that relate to that portion of the materials and returns the examinations to the school for grading.” • “If a school offers more than 50% of its courses by correspondence, the school loses its eligibility to participate in the FSA. Similarly, if 50% or more of a school’s students are enrolled in its correspondence courses, the school loses its eligibility to participate in the FSA programs. (Chapter 8, 2-99)
