Virtual College of Texas
Memorandum of Understanding for Continuing Education
Member colleges of the Texas Association of Community Colleges may participate
in the VCT by following the terms of the TACC-developed Host/Provider
Model, which allows students at local (host) colleges to take courses
from remote (provider) colleges.
All participating members
agree to the following:
- Host colleges will accept
provider colleges' academic calendar and course management, including
methodology, content, grading and course evaluation.
- Host colleges will pay
provider colleges a per-student instructional fee, typically an amount
that does not exceed 75% of the provider college's tuition and fees,
provided the student is enrolled on the official class start date
as established by the provider college.
- Tuition/fees set by the
host college for a CE course will not be lower than the provider college's
tuition/fees.
- Host colleges receive
the tuition, fees and contact hour reimbursement, and provide support
services, including counseling and advisement, financial aid, technical
support, test administration, and other resources as necessary.
- Host colleges award course
credit.
- Provider colleges will
use qualified faculty to teach and/or supervise courses, and ensure
and maintain instructor credentials as required by SACS and any other
entity having required guidelines.
- Provider college instructors
will provide VCT students with a course syllabus during or before
the first class specifying all course requirements.
- Provider college instructors
will provide support for VCT students comparable to the support available
to the provider college's own distance learning students in the same
classes.
All participating colleges
will operate in accordance with the Virtual College of Texas Operations
Manual. Colleges may modify provisions provided each college involved
agrees and provided all accreditation, state, and other requirements
are followed.
