distance education.

Technology Requirements
Technology requirements for BHCLR students are detailed under “Technology Requirements” in
the “Applicant and Admission” section of the BHCLR Catalog.

Residential-Blended (Hybrid) and Full Distance Education Student Expectations
While hybrid and full DE courses provide increased flexibility and convenience to students, the
course work is not self-paced. The requirements in hybrid and full DE courses are completed
within a predetermined timeframe according to the respective course syllabi. Hybrid and full DE
courses require as much, if not more, preparation on the part of the student as face-to-face
courses.

Students who are successful in hybrid and full DE courses are expected to be accountable,
motivated, and able to work independently. Active and frequent participation in the hybrid or
full DE course is crucial to academic success.

For both hybrid and full DE courses, students are required to participate in online activities such
as instructor to student discussion, student to student discussion, quizzes, examinations, and
other online exercises as identified in the respective course syllabi and course calendar. Students
are required to attend all face-to-face activities required in hybrid courses.

Honors
BHCLR faculty and staff celebrate student academic excellence by awarding Honors or
High Honors status. Recognition of honor status is announced during the commencement
ceremony. For additional information regarding honors, please see the Student Handbook
for the particular program of study.

Licensure and Certification
Completion of a program of study and graduation qualifies an individual apply to write the
certification or licensure examination for entry into a health profession. Successful candidates on
certification or licensure may sign the credentials designating their profession and have all rights
afforded them by the respective profession.
Orientation to the Program of Study
Each program of study provides an orientation for new students. Attendance is mandatory for
residential students. The program includes information about Baptist Health and its culture,
values, policies, safety, security, school, faculty and student services. In addition, activities may
be scheduled so family members or significant others may meet faculty members and learn what
will be occurring during the time of student enrollment.
