OUTREACH AND EXTENDED STUDIES

Currently, policies are being developed at the university level regarding compensation and time allowed for faculty to participate in outreach activities.  The COE will incorporate this information into subsequent college outreach policies.

Off-campus resident classes, extension classes, and workshops may be offered through Outreach and Extended Studies.  Such courses are at times an important facet of the overall program of course offerings in the College of Education.  However, certain cautions should be observed.

1.         Course offerings scheduled through Outreach and Extended Studies must proceed through the appropriate process in the College, with approval required at the program, department, and Dean's level.
2.         Courses taught through Outreach and Extended Studies may create an additional burden on faculty time.  The relative advantages/disadvantages to students, faculty, and programs need to be weighed carefully when considering a course through Outreach and Extended Studies.
3.         A maximum of 6 semester hours of extension work, completed through Outreach and Extended Studies of Texas Tech, may be credited on the course work for a master's degree (or a maximum of 9 hours on a 36-hour program) if the student had been officially admitted to the Graduate School prior to enrolling for the extension work.  Graduate credit is not granted for courses taken by extension at another university.

4.         Graduate credit is not granted for courses taken by correspondence.
