Correspondence Program definition
Correspondence Program means an approved program offered by mail with a defined course of study to be completed by the participant for which an evaluation of performance is made and a rating of satisfactory or unsatisfactory completion of the course is given by the provider.
Correspondence Program means higher education programs that are typically self-paced where interaction between the instructor and student is limited, is not regular and substantive, and is primarily initiated by the student. These programs are typically online where an institution provides instructional materials, including examinations on the materials, to students who are separate from the instructor. Correspondence Programs also include those with Competency Based Educational models. Examples of these programs are those offered by, but not limited to Penn Foster and Southern New Hampshire University College for America.
