A student must secure the permission of the Academic Board before enrolling in a correspondence course, and before such course work may apply toward the major. Permission will normally be granted only when necessitated by schedule conflicts, and correspondence courses will be calculated as part of the student's course load. Generally, a student may not repeat by correspondence a course failed in residence. Where correspondence work becomes a necessity for a prospective graduate, the official transcript for the courses completed must be on file in the Office of Admissions and Records, by June 30 prior to graduation.

The university will accept, from the Home Study International of Washington, D.C., Griggs University, or other reputable correspondence schools, a maximum of 16 semester credits toward a four-year programmes, and 8 semester credits toward a two-year programmes.
