(a) Any portion of a course conducted through correspondence education should be established through a cycle of assignment submissions and comprehensive, responsive feedback as determined by local policy. A student's enrollment in a correspondence course in no way diminishes the instructor(s) responsibility to ensure that each student receives ongoing support toward making meaningful academic progress. Students participating in courses conducted through correspondence education shall also have access to student support services, including counseling, library services and research assistance, and tutoring or learning support, via mail, email, telephone, or in-person dependent on local practice. Determinations and judgments about the quality of correspondence education under the course quality standards shall be made with the full involvement of faculty in accordance with the provisions of section 53203.
