Q: When is the application deadline for summer?
A: For summer there are no published deadlines; however, the sooner application is made, the earlier registration for summer classes can take place.
Q: What is considered full time status in the summer?
A: For undergraduate students, 12 hours is considered full time. For graduate students, 9 hours is considered full time.
Q: Hybrid Courses
A: A hybrid course is an online course; however, the course requires up to nine hours of on-campus meetings. The required meeting dates can be reviewed in Pipeline before registering for the course. The on-campus meetings usually involve an orientation and exams (a mid-term and final).
Q: I want MTSU online courses instead of RODP. How do I specify that on RaiderNet?
A: When searching on RaiderNet through PipelineMT for courses, in the "Instructional Method" box, select "Distance Lrn: Online." This will get you to MTSU online courses. Some MTSU online classes require permission from the department before registering. If the class you need requires a permit, complete the online POD form. The following link provides more information: http://www.mtsu.edu/learn/online/comparison.shtml.
Q: I want to enroll in an RODP course. How do I specify that on RaiderNet?
A: When searching on RaiderNet through PipelineMT for courses, in the "Subject" box, select the course subject that is either followed by “(RODP Only)" or by “(MTSU and RODP)” or by “RODP.” If the class you need requires an override form before registering, complete the request for an override form at http://www.mtsu.edu/learn/online/rodp_authorization.shtml.
Q: How many classes can I take in the summer?
