The Regents
Online Degree Program (RODP) offers the opportunity to
complete a degree at The University of Memphis by enrolling and
completing coursework completely through online means. Students
may enroll in a mixture of RODP courses and on-campus courses, or
completely in all RODP coursework.
If a student is enrolled in only RODP course work, a different set of federal financial aid rules apply. These rules include possible reduction by proration (if the RODP term is shorter than the federal standard) of aid amounts and elimination / reduction of some cost of living financial aid budget items, such as transportation (since trips back and forth to campus are not necessary). Award payment may also be delayed depending on the beginning date of the RODP course term.
As long as a student is enrolled in at least one on-campus course for the term, the special federal rules for online programs do not apply.
