THREE (Page 4) CORRESPONDENCE AND EXTENSION COURSES Purpose. The purpose of this Teachers College in offering correspondence and extension courses is to enable every one who cannot attend an educational institution for the time being to pursue systematic study under competent direction and for credit. Such study is particularly desirable for: 1. Teachers who wish to improve themselves while engaged in teaching and to add to their qualifications for more effective service. 2. Those who may be engaged in some other work than teaching and who are expecting to re-enter school some time sooner or later. Character of the Courses. The correspondence and extension courses are the same as those given in the class rooms of this institution and are conducted by the same members of the faculty giving them in Kirksville. CORRESPONDENCE COURSES Cost. A fee of $14.00 is charged for each course. This amount covers the incidental fee and postage for returning corrected lessons to the student. Matriculation. If a statement of your high school work is not on file here, you should first write for a blank on which an official of the high school in which your work was done may make a statement of your credits. At the same time you should also write for a matriculation card. (If you have been enrolled here since September, 1917, your matriculation card and the statement of your high school credits should be on file in this office). This matriculation card should be filled in by you. Both cards should be mailed back to the Secretary of Extension as soon as possible. Procedure in Selecting a Correspondence Course. If you desire to take a course by correspondence, examine carefully the list of courses described in this bulletin that are offered for correspondence study. If you wish a description of the courses more in detail, consult the May, 1925, Bulletin of the Teachers College or write to a member of the Extension Committee concerning the same. On discovering the course that you wish to take, fill in the application for correspondence study on the last page of this bulletin and send it with your remittance, (check payable to Byron Cosby, Business Administrator), to the Secretary of Extension. On receiving your application the Secretary of Extension will notify the instructor under whom you wish to take work that you have applied for a course, and if, in the judgment of the instructor, you are fitted to pursue the course, the Secretary of Extension will send the outlines for the work with full directions as to how to proceed. In case the instructor decides that you are not qualified for the work he will report that matter to the Secretary of Extension who will either ascertain from you what other course you would like to take or refund your fee. But no fee will be refunded after the outlines have been mailed. FOUR (Page 5) Regulations as to Correspondence Courses. 1. Students are urged to enroll as soon after September 7, 1925, as possible and required to complete their work by May 10, 1926. No extension of time is granted. Applications for correspondence courses will not be received after February 1. Students are urged to complete their work by May 1 rather than delay it until the last possible moment. 2. In each correspondence course yielding 2% semester hours, there will be twenty lessons and a final examination covering the entire course. A lesson is planned so that it will require approximately five hours of sixty minutes each for its preparation. 3. Send each lesson paper directly to the Secretary of Extension, State Teachers College, Kirksville, Missouri. Addressed envelopes are furnished you for this purpose. Be sure to place sufficient postage on the envelope. Your paper will be given to the instructor conducting the course. When the paper is corrected the Secretary will return it to you, together with an addressed envelope to be used in mailing your next lesson. The Teachers College furnishes postage for returning corrected lessons to the student. 4. For the final examination, the student will come to Kirksville on a day designated by the teacher, or in cases where this is inconvenient, the student may nominate persons, preferably school superintendents or principals, and the teacher will select one person to whom the questions will be sent for the examination. 5. The textbooks needed for any course may be ordered through the Y. M. C. A. Book Exchange, Kirksville, Missouri. If the book is not in stock it can be sent direct from publishers. The Teachers College cannot undertake to furnish reference books from its library. The student may secure reference books from nearby libraries or from the State Library Commission, Jefferson City, Missouri. In many cases the student should and will desire to purchase the reference books he needs, and he may be required to purchase from one to five textbooks for each course. 6. A maximum credit of ten semester hours or the equivalent of two high school units may be made by any one student through correspondence courses or extension courses or by both within the limits of the time set for the completion of such work. Courses from other schools will not be accredited in excess of this maximum. 7. Not more than 50% of the credit for any certificate or diploma may be earned through extension and correspondence courses. 8. Correspondence and extension courses will not be allowed to begin until credentials and matriculation cards are on file. FIVE (Page 6) CORRESPONDENCE COURSES DIVISION OF ARTS Drama and Speech 35a.
