ADDENDUM to the Rasmussen College Catalog 2018-2019 June 27, 2019 ACADEMIC CALENDARS p.2, 2018-2019 Academic Calendar (12/6/18, 2/11/19, 3/29/19) Add the following Six-Month Terms Calendar: Six-Month Terms Calendar The Rasmussen College Flex Choice® CBE six-month term enrollment model allows new groups of students to start approximately every six weeks. The student’s academic term is six months in length. The academic year also includes a break between terms. The traditional quarter-based academic calendar with multiple start dates and holidays is not applicable for students who are enrolled in Flex Choice® CBE six-month term programs. Students enrolled in Flex Choice® CBE six-month term programs can access learning resources and complete assessments any time, day or night, without regard to holidays and other significant dates during the term. Students may only be enrolled in one Flex Choice® CBE six-month term at a time and are considered enrolled and active once the Flex Choice® CBE six-month term enrollment has been established by posting attendance in at least one course per the attendance policy of the College. Based on the requirements of their program and in consideration of the pre/co-requisites of the program, students will work in partnership with their Advisor to register for their courses prior to the start of a term. The term enrollment process is important because students are agreeing to pay tuition in full and complete all of their registered courses by the end of the term. Term attendance must be established no later than the 6th business day following the start of the term for all students. Once term attendance is established, students are considered enrolled for the term and are responsible for tuition charges. Once students have enrolled in a term, they are committed to the courses. Changes to enrollment will not be processed except as allowed in the course withdrawal and course add policies. Students who do not complete registration and meet attendance requirements for the new term are administratively withdrawn from the College. Satisfactory academic progress (SAP) is calculated at the end of each term in the student’s academic program. Tuition is billed at a flat rate every term for students enrolled in the subscription model; students pay for time, not by credit hour or by course. Students enrolled in the tuition per credit model are billed according to the total credits registered at the start of the six-month term. Eligible students may transfer between the subscription and the pay-per-credit model between terms, but not during a six-month term. A request to switch tuition models must be made to the student’s advisor no later than seven calendar days prior to the start of the applicable term. The six months that make up a term are based on when the student begins their program. For example, if a student begins their program January 2, the first term will last from January 2 to June 19. Their second term would begin July 1st.
