DDP Media Rental Return Policy for Courses Completed Summer 2007: DDP rental media is the property of Washington State University and must be returned to DDP.

Using an address label provided in your box, return DDP rental media to DDP via a delivery service that provides shipment tracking or delivery confirmation. Include all of the media for each course in the original packaging (e.g., videotape or CD sleeves) showing the barcode number; this number is used to log your materials in as returned. Please make a note if you had any problems with your media during the semester.

Track your shipment through the delivery service you used and check My DDP to confirm processing of the return (select "Shipment History" on your "Student Menu" page).

Based on student and instructor feedback, DDP has decided to discontinue its flexible enrollment course offerings. Flexible enrollment courses will be phased out during the upcoming 2007-2008 academic year. We are currently evaluating all flexible enrollment courses for redesign and conversion to the semester-based format. We hope to convert most courses to the semester-based format, and use the conversion process to add new and robust elements to each course. This process will ensure that all DDP courses reflect our commitment to providing students with a dynamic learning environment and the best distance learning experience available.

Spring semester 2008 will be the last semester registration that flexible enrollment courses will be available. Students enrolling in flexible enrollment courses will still have the ability to extend the course up to two additional semesters, provided that all conditions of the course extension policy have been met.

Flexible enrollment courses are no longer identified by "x" after the course number. In WSU time schedules of classes and the DDP online course listing/catalog, flexible enrollment course names/numbers will be the same as all other WSU courses (e.g., Fine Arts 101x displays as Fine Arts 101) and will be identified by "FX" in a descriptor field (similarly, semester-based courses will be identified by "SB").

Other policy changes to flexible enrollment course registration and tuition that were announced before the Memorial Day weekend will not be implemented as planned. Flexible enrollment tuition will remain at per credit rates (flex credits are excluded from full-time tuition caps) but will increase to the rate noted in the tuition information above; registration for flexible enrollment courses will continue to be possible at any time, not just during the University's open registration period until summer/fall 2008 registration opens.

Starting fall 2007, DDP will move from the course management system WebCT 6/Blackboard Learning System CE (webct.wsu.edu) to the Blackboard Academic Suite (blackboard.wsu.edu). Students who have started flexible enrollment courses prior to fall 2007 will complete these courses in the current WebCT 6 (Blackboard Learning System CE) environment. All DDP courses that start fall semester 2007 will be offered in the Blackboard Academic Suite. The change to Blackboard Academic Suite will introduce a significant difference in the look and feel of the environment, including some changes in terminology.

Here’s a quick look at some of the terminology changes you can expect:

WebCT 6/Blackboard Learning Systems CE	Blackboard Academic Suite
Course Content Page (Course Homepage)	Home
Course Tools	Navigation Bar
Learning Modules	Lessons

We believe that you will find the Blackboard Academic Suite to be a very user-friendly learning system, with an easy to master interface. We are excited to support students, faculty, and staff as we move into this new environment. Tutorials and technical support will be available to help you get up to speed. As CDPE works to make this conversion as smooth as possible, we’d like to thank students, faculty, and staff for their patience and willingness to embrace this change together.
