CPM Course Application









 
 


Date of Birth


EXTENSION CREDIT COURSE POLICIES

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES RELATED TO EXTENSION STUDIES.  BY REGISTERING FOR THE CPM COURSES YOU ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THAT YOU HAVE READ AND REVIEWED THE POLICIES SHOWN BELOW.

Residency Status

Students registering for extension courses, as determined by the university, will automatically be considered as “non-resident" status.  Being in "non-resident" status will not affect the fees charged for your extension course(s). If an applicant or student is classified as a non-resident and wishes to be reclassified as a resident, then the srudent should complete the residency paperwork available at the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.

Texas Success Initiative (TSIP)

All Texas residents taking courses for credit (including extension courses) must be compliant with Texas Success Initiative requirements.  Please answer the following questions.

 

If you are not a Texas State student, but are a Texas resident, you must provide evidence of Texas Success Initiative compliance along with this application.  Evidence includes an unofficial transcript of college courses earned or a college diploma (which can be scanned and attached to this application).

Additional evidence of TSIP compliance includes qualifying SAT/ACT, TAKS, THEA or approved alternative test scores.  Students from private institutions must provide a copy of their latest semester transcript or grade report, or a letter of good standing from their university.  If you are unsure about your TSIP status and requirements, contact the University's TSIP Program Office at 512-245-3942.

Waivers, Exemptions and Third-Party Billing

If you will not be paying for your extension course(s) because of third-party billing such as your employer, Chapter 33, or the Hazlewood Exemption, or if you will be using your Texas Tomorrow Fund or any kind of tuition waiver, please attach documentation.

 

If you are planning to use a 3rd party billing for CPM courses, plesae contact Ms. Marilyn Balanoff, Office of Distance & Extended Learning at mb39@txstate.edu or 512-422-8955.

Meningitis Vaccination

As of January 1, 2012, Texas law requires all new college students under 30 years of age to be inmmunized against bacterial meningitis before they enroll in an institution of higher education.  State law mandates that first-time college students, students transferring from another institution, and students who are re-enrolling following a break of at least one fall or spring semester be inoculated against the illness.  A hold is automatically applied to all students' records, and the hold remains for students who do not satisfy the requirements of this regulation.  If you have this hold on your record, you will be unable to register for classes without first providing proof of vaccination, exemption, or a waiver.

If you answered yes, but have not provided documentation online through Magnus, you can do so at http://www.healthcenter.txstate.edu/meningitis/submitproof.html.  Once you provide documentation, your hold will be lifted.

If you are enrolling only in an online extension course or program with no face-to-face component, you are exempt from the required vaccination, but will need to complete a waiver, available through the Office of Distance and Extended Learning.

Your hold will be automatically lifted if you qualify for these exemptions.

Prerequisites

If your course requires a prerequisite, you will be required to submit an official transcript. Official transcripts should be mailed to the Office of Distance & Extended Learning, 601 University Drive, San Marcos, TX  78666.  Texas State academic departments will determine if the course satisfies the prerequisite requirement.

Holds

If you have a hold on your account, it will prevent you from being able to register.

You can check for holds on the Admissions web site.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

FERPA protects the privacy of the student education records and guarantees students' access to their own records.  In order for the Office of Distance and Extended Learning to release or discuss a student's academic record with a specified third party a Grant Access Student's Record Form must be on file with the University.  Go to http://www.registrar.txstate.edu/persistent-links/ferpa.html to print the form.  Complete the form and upload.

 

Disability Notification

Please note that additional information about accommodations for disabilities is available at the Office of Disability Services, Room 5-5.1 LBJ Student Center, or 512.245.3451 (Voice TTY).
