Sponsored: No direct costs are assumed by the School of Outreach for sponsored courses. Rather, an outside source, i.e., agency, school district, grant covers direct costs. Students enrolled in sponsored courses may be charged only the recording fee to administer and maintain enrollment and grade records. There is no minimum class size required for a sponsored course.
Self-Support: Fees generated must cover all direct costs, such as instructional costs, travel and salaries, and promotion, as well as indirect costs for the administration of the course. For this reason, a minimum class enrollment is set on the basis of anticipated direct and indirect costs. Out-of-town courses must have a correspondingly higher enrollment than campus courses. Computation of minimum class size is part of the planning process and is calculated individually for each out-of-town course.
