LTU maintains a minimum enrollment policy by semester to protect students and faculty and to ensure the best educational environment.
For Fall and Spring semesters, the minimum enrollment for a course to run as a full course will be seven (7) students for undergraduate courses and six (6) students for graduate courses. For Summer semester, the minimum enrollment for a course to run as a full course will be six (6) students for undergraduate courses and five (5) students for graduate courses.
As the start of a semester approaches, department chairs and deans are expected to review under-enrolled courses to determine if they should be canceled, combined with other course sections, or offered as an under-enrolled class. Deans are expected to provide their decisions and justification for running under-enrolled classes to the provost at the start of each semester. Under-enrolled classes may be justified for several reasons, including 1) the course is required for students to complete their academic program; 2) the course is offered infrequently but is an important elective supporting a program concentration; or 3) the course supports an academic program with few majors.
Courses that are approved to run in an under-enrolled status should maintain the teaching schedules noted in Banner and documented in course syllabi. Under-enrolled courses should not be run as directed study courses where students meet infrequently with the instructor; directed study courses are specialized courses and should not be confused with regular courses run in an under-enrolled status. Courses run in an under-enrolled status are subject to pro-rated faculty load or adjunct compensation unless approved for full compensation by the provost upon recommendation by the dean.
See your department chair or call the Office of the Provost 248-204-2400 for more information about pro-rated course compensation.
