Rules for On-campus and Online Studies

JETS offers all of its programs either in-person on-campus, or virtually online. The following explains the differences and similarities between the two as well as the rules for attendance for each.

Differences and Similarities

1. Students can be admitted into JETS as either on-campus or online, whether full-time or part-time.
2. Living scholarships are available only to full-time on-campus students and not to online students whether full-time or part-time.
3. All rules and policies apply equally to on-campus and to online studies including policies regarding attendances and absences of courses, attendance of Chapel and field ministries.

Commitment to Status

1. Students admitted into JETS as on-campus students are not permitted to attend any course or any class online for any reason. These students are required to be on-campus throughout the semester and are not permitted to study online. If on-campus students attend a lecture online, the policy for student absences apply as explained below under the title “Probation and Discipline.
2. Students admitted into JETS as part-time students are permitted to take any course either online or on-campus provided that they continue throughout their studies in the status they chose. They cannot change status after the permitted period.
3. For more information on the rules for absences, see below under the heading “Student Absences” within the subject of “Probation and Discipline.”
4. Other cases are treated on a case-by-case basis with the approval of the Academic Committee.

Exceptions During the Summer

1. A married full-time on-campus student, while his/her family lives outside Jordan, may take courses online during the summer only if he/she desires to spend the summer with his/her family in his/her home country.
2. A single full-time on-campus student may take only one course online during the summer if he/she desires to spend the summer in his/her home country.
3. In the above two cases, the expenses are the responsibility of the student, and the student must coordinate with the Student Department regarding work-study hours.
