The minimum residence requirement for the granting of any degree is one academic year or its equivalent. The minimum credit requirement is 30 hours, and the minimum number of weeks in residence is 32. Students doing more than 30 hours at Henderson must do the last 30 semester hours on campus, except that six of the last 36 may be done by extension, transfer, or correspondence with previous approval. Henderson course credits earned at off- campus sites may be applied to the 30 hours residency requirement.
Thirty semester hours of the credit required for a degree may be done by correspondence or by a combination of correspondence and extension, subject to the provisions of the preceding paragraph. A maximum of 12 consecutive hours by correspondence or extension may be taken for degree credit. A maximum of 60 hours toward a bachelor's degree may be earned in the off campus program, unless special permission is secured in advance. A maximum of nine hours toward a master's degree may be earned in the off campus program. However, with special permission, the limit may be increased to 12 hours.
