Course Length & Course Fee explanations

Course Length

Every On Demand Webinar course has a start date, end date, and a termination date. This is known as the Q-Term for the course. The first day of an On Demand Webinar course is considered the start date. An On Demand Webinar Course meets a total of 4 weeks; course end date is 6 weeks from the start date.

At the end of any allowable extension period, the course termination date is reached for all courses. A final course grade will be assigned based on the status of all assignments on the course termination date. For formal research courses, the grade is assigned at the end of the last Doctoral Research Extension. A student’s Class Schedule identifies the specific dates for each course.

Course Extension

Students not completing their course by the original course end date have the option to request a course extension. Trinity must receive the request for an extension within the allowable extension period for the course. The request may be made via email at studentservices@trinitysem.edu, or by calling Trinity at 812.602.3320. All extension fees must be paid up and account must be current with all payments before
any extensions will be granted.

2-4 Week Extension: A 2-4 Week Extension will be provided to complete a course beginning the first calendar day after the original course end date. A 2-4 Week Extension Fee is charged per course and payable at the time of the 2-4 Week Extension request.

6-Month Extension: For aQ-Term course, a6-Month Extension will provide an additional six months from the original end date of the Q-Term course.. A maximum of two 6-Month Extensions are allowed.* A 6-Month Extension Fee is charged per course and payable with the 6-Month Extension request and payable at the time of the 2-4 Week Extension request.

Students who request to have extensions for courses after their Enrollment Agreement has expired will be placed into the latest version of the course if they are not already in it, or they will be placed into a current equivalent course if that particular course needing an extension is no longer offered at Trinity (see Course Extension Policies in the Student Handbook).

* Masters/Doctoral Research Extension: A Masters/Doctoral Research Extension will provide the student with six (6) additional months to complete a formal research course beginning the first calendar day after the original course end date.

*A Masters/Doctoral Research Extension Fee is charged and payable with the Masters/Doctoral Research Extension request. Students are eligible for Masters/Doctoral Research Extensions as needed for courses such as Dissertation, Capstone Research Project, and Major Writing Project.

Course Addendum Fee

If a student elects to drop an On Demand Webinar Course, or exchange one On Demand Webinar course for another at any point within the Y-Term or Q-Term in which they were previously enrolled, an Addendum is prepared. A Course Addendum Fee is charged per Addendum. Note:A Course Addendum Fee is charged per Addendum and must be paid up front prior to processing the Addendum. The student’s account must be
current with their payments before any Addendum is processed.

The last day to exchange a course is: 1) on or before the start date of an On Demand Webinar course, or 2) on or before the end date of the Enrollment Agreement, whichever comes first. The last day to add a course to an existing Enrollment Agreement is on or before the end date of the Enrollment Agreement.

Major Core Course Substitution Fee

Students who exchange a major core course in their degree program for another course within the same Area of Study that is not part of the degree program will incur a Major Core Course Substitution Fee. This fee does not apply to designated Elective Course options within a degree program. Nor does this fee apply in conjunction with a
Degree/Program Change Fee. Note:A Major Core Course Substitution Fee is charged and must be paid up front prior to processing the course exchange/substitution. The student’s account must be current with their payments before any course exchange/substitution is processed.

Degree Program Change Fee

When students change from one degree to another, a new Enrollment Agreement is required in addition to application of the Degree Change Fee (includes Course Exchange/Program Change Fees). Any unused tuition is credited to the new Enrollment Agreement. Any owed tuition is charged at current tuition cost. Financial assistance is reviewed and applied as applicable. A change from a single degree to a combined degree program, or vice versa, such as B.A. to a Combined B.A. and M.A. Degree, results in a Degree Change Fee. A change of major or focus within a degree is a program change, not a degree change. A program change requires only an Addendum to the Enrollment Agreement and appropriate application of the Program Change Fee (includes Course Exchange Fee). Note: A Degree Program Change Fee is charged and must be paid up front prior to processing the degree program change. The student’s account must be current with their payments before any degree program change is processed.

]]> Master the essentials of the sentence as an aid to clear thinking and effective writing. Writing a good sentence is an art, and you can master that art by developing your awareness of what makes a sentence work. As you become more familiar with the relationships among sentence elements, you will strengthen your writing skills and will be better able to make your meaning clear to your reader (i.e., your grader!).

The most common sentence problems in student writing are: comma splice and fused (or run-on) sentence, sentence fragment (or incomplete sentence), agreement, and shifts. If you are unfamiliar with these terms and others such as subject, verb, object, complement, phrase, main clause, independent clause, subordinate clause, coordinating conjunction, number, person, etc., you are strongly encouraged to research their meanings and application in a standard English grammar book. Please see the list of recommended books in this Survival Manual or consider enrolling in a local or distance writing course.

Keep a few simple principles in mind:

COMMA SPLICE AND FUSED (OR RUN-ON) SENTENCE

Do not link two main (independent) clauses with only a comma (comma splice) or run two main clauses together without any punctuation (fused sentence).

Examples:

Comma Splice: The wind was cold, they decided not to walk.

Fused Sentence: The wind was cold they decided not to walk.

To correct comma splices and fused sentences: 1) Place a period after the first main (independent) clause and write the second main clause as a sentence; 2) use a semi-colon to separate main clauses; or 3) insert a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, for, nor, so, yet) after the comma; or 4) make one clause subordinate to the other.

Revisions:

The wind was cold. They decided not to walk.

The wind was cold; they decided not to walk.

The wind was cold, so they decided not to walk.

The wind was so cold that they decided not to walk.

SENTENCE FRAGMENT

Avoid sentence fragments. The term fragment refers to a group of words beginning with a capital letter and ending with a period. Although written as if it were a sentence, a fragment is only a part of a sentence – such as a phrase or a subordinate clause.

Examples:

Larry always working in his yard on Saturdays.

Because he enjoys his flowers and shrubs.

Which help to screen his house from the street.

For example, a tall hedge with a border of petunias.



Eliminate fragments by making them into complete sentences or by connecting them to existing sentences. One way to eliminate many sentence fragments is to be sure that each word group has at least one subject and one predicate.

Corrections:

Larry always works in his yard on Saturdays.

He enjoys the flowers and shrubs.

OR: He enjoys the flowers and shrubs that help to screen his house from the street – for example, a tall hedge with a border of petunias.

AGREEMENT

Make a verb agree in number with its subject; make a pronoun agree in number with its antecedent.



A singular subject takes a singular verb, and a plural subject takes a plural verb.

Singular: The car in the lot looks shabby. [car looks]

Plural: The cars in the lot look shabby. [cars look]



When a pronoun has an antecedent (an antecedent is the noun to which the pronoun refers), the noun and pronoun should agree in number.

Singular: A dolphin has its own language. [dolphin – its]

Plural: Dolphins have their own language. [dolphins – their]

SHIFTS

Avoid needless shifts in person and number.

Shift: If a person is going to improve, you should work harder. [shift from third person to second person]

Better: If you are going to improve, you should work harder. [second person]

OR If people are going to improve, they should work harder. [third person]

OR If we are going to improve, we should work harder. [first person]

GENDER REFERENTS

Avoid awkward “his/her” and “he/she” gender constructions.

Awkward: The client is usually the best judge of his or her counseling.

Better: The client is usually the best judge of the value of counseling. [Omit gender referents.]

OR Clients are usually the best judges of the value of the counseling they receive. [Change to plural]

OR The best judge of the value of counseling is usually the client. [Rephrase the sentence.]

Permission may be denied if space is not available after the enrollment of regularly enrolled students, or if the course is not appropriate for auditing. Approved persons are required to pay an Audit Fee. Credit courses may not be changed to audit courses.

Students
Although an auditor receives no credit, the class will appear on the student’s transcript with the grade of AU. The hours will not be applied toward meeting graduation requirements nor will the grade of AU be computed in the grade point average. An audit course may not be changed to a credit course at a later date under any circumstances.

Non-students
The audited class will not appear on a Trinity transcript when taken by a non-Trinity student. An audit course taken prior to enrollment may be changed to a credit course upon completion of course requirements within 30 days of Trinity enrollment and payment of applicable tuition.

As an international student, you can study at an affordable tuition rate which is within your educational budget. Special financing/reduction in cost is available for international students.

International Transcripts

Whenever possible, Trinity will complete the evaluation of international credentials in-house. Applicants/students will be notified if Trinity determines the international credentials must be evaluated by an outside agency. In such cases, the applicants/students will be responsible for contacting an approved foreign credential evaluation agency and for paying any costs incurred. Transcripts not in English must be evaluated by an appropriate third party and translated into English or a trained transcript evaluator fluent in the language on the transcript. In this case, the evaluator must have expertise in the educational practices of the country of origin and include an English translation of the review.
