Principles of Good Practice

Principles of Good Practice

The Principles of Good Practice for Electronically Delivered Courses (PGP) is a self study that must be completed for every distance learning course by the faculty member who develops and teaches the course. Once submitted, the PGP is circulated to the department chair, college dean, and associate vice-president for Academic Affairs for approval.  Completion and collection of PGPs ensure that quality standards in online learning are being met at our university in compliance with SACS and THECB requirements. The agreement must be completed and submitted the semester after the course is first taught according to the following deadlines:

Courses taught in Fall: March 1
Courses taught in Spring: August 1
Courses taught in Summer I and II: November 1

You may complete and submit the Principles of Good Practice electronically. To complete and submit this PDF form, you will need Adobe Reader 9.0

If you have any difficulty completing the PGP, contact Lori Fennell (5-1768) for assistance.
