Distance Education
Platt College - Tulsa students may have the opportunity to complete certain programs, subject to limits established by the institution’s state licensure and accreditation, through distance education in 100 percent online or hybrid programs. Admission requirements for these programs do not vary from admission requirements for programs of study offered entirely on-ground, with the exception of the following:
Applicants who plan to enter a distance education program must complete the SmarterMeasure Learning Readiness Indicator entrance assessment. The SmarterMeasure assessment measures student readiness to engage in postsecondary learning based on non-cognitive indicators of success. The school uses the results of the assessment to determine the type of support that will be most beneficial to the student throughout the program of study. Applicants are required to complete the Technical Competency, Technical Knowledge and Learning Styles sections prior to acceptance. Applicants in all programs (except clock hour and non-Title IV programs) must score a minimum score of 60% on the Technical Competency sections. Applicants who do not score the minimum score on the Technical Competency section are required to complete Technology Remediation (ORN001) supplemental orientation and score 60% on the Technology Remediation assessment.
During orientation the student advisor/ program director/hybrid teaching assistant or student resource coordinator will schedule a meeting with each student to review the results of the SmarterMeasure Learning Readiness Indicator to discuss the results and develop success strategies based upon the SmarterMeasure assessment results.
Hybrid programs of study allow students in certain programs of study to complete greater than 50 percent of their program online. Hybrid programs contain courses that are a combination of online and face-to-face instruction. Students are expected to interact with faculty and other students through online discussion boards as well as traditional face-to-face classroom activities. Students are required to participate in all face-to-face classroom activities and online activities as outlined in the course syllabi. These online programs are specifically designed for the student who will be accessing online courses from a standard home or personal computer. Students enrolling in online courses should have

All students have access to the same support services regardless of the mode of instructional delivery. All students have access to library services, academic advising, tutoring, and career services. All distance education/online courses and programs offered by the campus have been deemed as equivalent in content and quality to the same courses offered via traditional delivery methods. Under certain circumstances, such as a student getting out of sequence with course schedules or courses that may not be offered each term, students enrolled in hybrid program may be required to take fully online classes to graduate.
Students participating in 100% online or hybrid programs are expected to complete the online orientation prior to the start of classes.
Students enrolled in fully online programs will submit admissions applications, financial aid paperwork and take placement exams via secure sites on the internet. Campus employees are available via phone, email and internet sources to assist students through the application process. Admissions and placement testing will be conducted through online software specifically designed for online distribution.
Hybrid Learning Hybrid learning provides the student with an opportunity for greater flexibility in the learning environment. Hybrid courses are designed as a combination of online and residential (on-ground classroom) based learning. Each course has a specific percentage of the course delivered through online delivery. The following provides general guidance on the distribution of online and residential learning:
Hour Type % of Hours Online % of Hours On-ground Lecture 75% 25% Lab 25% 75%
Authentication and Protection of Student Identity Each student is provided a unique user name and password for the purpose of authenticating each student’s identity when entering the online classroom. Students are prohibited from providing their passwords and log-ins to any other individual. Furthermore, student identity is authenticated through a series of email, telephone interviews, and/or meetings with the campus Hybrid Teaching Assistant, Student Resource Coordinator or Student Services Coordinator. Each student’s username, password and email address are used to authenticate student identity in order to complete assignments within the Learning Management System. All testing is completed through the Learning Management System and the unique username and password is used to verify student identity.
The student’s unique username and password is used to verify student identity. Neither the Institution nor Ancora Education will release any student’s username and password to any individual that would violate a student’s rights under the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

Internet Policy
Acceptable use Internet access, which connects thousands of computers and millions of subscribers, is available to students and staff. Internet access can promote educational excellence by facilitating resource sharing, innovation, and communications.
Throughout the educational community, the Internet can be used to educate and inform staff and students. As a learning resource, the Internet is similar to books, magazines, audio recordings, videos, CD-ROMs, and other information media. Student and educators use the Internet to participate in distance learning activities, to ask questions, and consult with experts, to communicate with other students, educators, and individuals, and to locate materials to meet educational needs.
The Internet also provides access to material that is of no educational value. However, the value of the information found and interaction available outweighs the possibility of locating inappropriate material.
Internet access is coordinated through a complex association of government agencies, as well as regional and state networks. The smooth operation of the network relies upon the proper conduct of all users who must adhere to strict guidelines. The guidelines, which require efficient, ethical, and legal utilization of the network resources, are provided here so that users are aware of the responsibilities they are about to acquire. In addition, guidelines from other service providers may result in access being suspended and or future access being denied.

Transmission of any material in violation of any federal or state regulation is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, copyrighted material, threatening or obscene material, or material in violation of School Policies. b. Privileges The use of the Internet is a privilege, not a right, and inappropriate use will result in suspension of that privilege. The equipment, network, and data are the sole property of the School. Therefore, the School retains the right to monitor and or audit any network account at random to insure that the user is adhering to this policy.
Page 9 of 78 Platt College Catalog Addendum Catalog Effective: July 13, 2018 Addendum & Supplements Effective: 01/02/2019

All communications and information access via the network are private property unless otherwise stated. viii. Not employing the network for commercial purposes. ix. Not transmitting material that infringes upon the right of others. d. Warranty The School makes no warranties of any kind, whether expressed or implied, for the service it is providing. The School will not be responsible for any damages suffered using the Internet. These include, but are not limited to, loss of data resulting from delays, nondeliveries, misdeliveries, service interruptions, or personal errors or omissions. Use of any information obtained via the Internet is at the user’s risk. The School specifically denies any responsibility for the accuracy or quality of information obtained through Internet access. e. Security Security on a computer system is critical especially when a system involves many users. Proper procedures for logging in and off the network must be followed. If a security problem is identified, the user must notify a system administrator or staff member. The problem may not be demonstrated to other users. Unauthorized use of accounts is strictly prohibited. Attempts to log on the Internet as the network administrator will result in immediate cancellation of user privileges. Users who have a history of problems with other computer systems or who have been identified as a security risk for any other reason will be denied access to the network.
Users are provided a unique user name and password and are prohibited from providing the user’s name and password to any other individual.
Student identity, of student participating in online courses/programs, is authenticated through a series of email, telephone interviews, and/or meetings with my Hybrid Teaching Assistant, Student Resource Coordinator or Student Services Coordinator. The students’ username, password and email address are used to authenticate the student’s identity in order to complete assignments within the Learning Management System. All testing is completed through the Learning Management System and the student’s unique username and password is used to verify the student’s identity.

Attendance for online courses is taken by students logging in and completing work in the online classroom. Students are expected to actively participate in their online courses at least twice per week. Students who do not submit substantive work for their online courses for 14 or more consecutive calendar days may be withdrawn. Regular Attendance in an Online Class is an important contributor to student success in online courses. To comply with federal mandates for school’s handling of student aid, certain kinds of student activity may or may not count as participation sufficient to qualify as attendance in online courses.
For attendance to be earned, the student must complete at least one of the following academic events (1) complete a quiz, (2) complete and post an assignment, or (3) post at least once a week to a relevant class discussion board.
Hybrid courses: Attendance for hybrid courses is taken both in the physical classroom and by students logging in and completing work in the online classroom. Students are expected to attend both the physical class sessions and actively participate in their online classes.

Regardless of the situation resulting in an absence from class, students are expected to be in attendance a minimum 60% per grading period to pass a course. Any attendance below 60% may result in the student failing the course.
Re-Admission
Students who have withdrawn from Platt College-Tulsa and wish to be readmitted should contact the school. If the application for re-admission is for a different curriculum, the standard requirements for a change of program will apply. All distance education applicants for re-admission will be required to complete the Smarter Measures Assessment the first time they re-enroll, unless taken during their previous enrollment. The assessment measures student readiness to return to school and engage in post-secondary learning based on non-cognitive indicators of success. The school uses the results of the
Page 11 of 78 Platt College Catalog Addendum Catalog Effective: July 13, 2018 Addendum & Supplements Effective: 01/02/2019 assessment to determine the type of support that will be most beneficial to the student through the program of study.
Approval for readmission for the same curriculum or an alternate selection will be based on the applicant's ability and aptitude, the time elapsed since withdrawing, recommendations of the instructors of the program to which the applicant is reapplying, and the applicant's career objectives. Prior tuition balances and student loan statuses must be clear before readmission application forms will be processed. Re-entering students must meet all admission requirements in place at the time of their re-entry.
