Welcome to La Tech Online
It is the goal of Louisiana Tech University to provide superior online education in a convenient and
student-friendly format. We strive to make online learning efficient and affordable while maintaining the
high standard of academics that has made Louisiana Tech University an educational leader. The progressive
instructors and professors who lead our online courses are motivated to reach each individual student
wherever he or she may be. Louisiana Tech faculty and staff are committed to the success of every student,
regardless of location. We welcome you to our online educational environment and we hope you find this
experience enjoyable and rewarding.
Is Distance Education for you?
Learning online is a convenient alternative to traditional classroom education. Although online
learning is attractive to many who wish to pursue an education while working or maintaining a busy
lifestyle, this type of education requires dedication. Time management and self-discipline are key for a
successful online learning experience. Individuals who require substantial one on one guidance or personal
interactions with their peers, may find online learning to be difficult.
Another key to preparing for online education is to ascertain that you have the appropriate
technology as required as well as high speed Internet connections. Familiarity with common software
applications and Internet use is recommended as it will help facilitate an easier transition from the classroom
to the online environment.
Although students are not required to come to the classroom, course participation is still required.
Your individual professor will identify their requirements for class participation which may include online
discussions, submission of assignments, and/or virtual classroom attendance. In courses where lectures are
recorded, it is the student’s responsibility to watch the lectures as they are posted. Communication with your
professor is vital in order to establish a rapport as well as to ask questions and get clarification. It is the
online student’s responsibility to contact their professor when issues or circumstances arise which interfere
with their ability to maintain their studies, just as classroom students would contact their instructor if such
events occurred.
The Health Informatics and Information Management department has taken great strides to ensure
that all coursework can be completed online. This means students from anywhere can obtain our online
degree without ever coming to campus. Our curriculum will allow any student to sit and successful pass the
RHIA exam.

Getting Started
Admissions
At Louisiana Tech, we operate on the Quarter system. This means, there are 3, 10 week Quarters
(Fall, Winter and Spring). Additionally classes are offered in various Summer Session formats during the
Summer months. Each academic department will vary in availability of the courses offered online each
Quarter. New students may be admitted to begin classes in Fall, Winter, Spring or Summer, providing
various opportunities to begin learning.
The admissions process for online students is the same as classroom students. All admissions
policies and procedures are applicable to online students. Admission requirements, procedures, and
information can be found at www.latech.edu/admissions. Once a student is admitted to the University and
chooses a degree program, their information is then sent to the appropriate department. Upon receipt of
student information, a departmental advisor will be assigned to each student.
Financial Aid
Financial Aid for online education will be handled in the same manner as traditional students.
Students can contact the financial aid office at 318-257-2641 or via the web at http://www.latech.edu/finaid/.
Many questions can be answered by referencing the website of the Financial Aid department. Any questions
regarding loans, grants or scholarships should be addressed to the financial aid office.
Tuition
Tuition costs can be found on the admission website. No out of state tuition is charged for online
students not residing in Louisiana. Therefore, even out of state students will pay in state tuition with the
additional online learning fee. An online learning fee of $100 per credit hour will be added in addition to
normal tuition for all W85 classified classes. This fee is used to support delivery of online courses as well as
to acquire advanced technology to be used in our courses. More information regarding tuition and fees can
be obtained from the admissions website and office.
Transfer Credits
Individuals who wish to transfer credits from coursework completed at another university or college
should indicate this while completing the admissions requirements. Transfer of credits will be determined
by the department in which the course would be taken. For General Education Coursework taken in
Louisiana, students may reference the Board of Regents Articulation Guidehttp://www.regents.state.la.us/articulation.html.
Approval to take courses at another university or college for transfer credit should be sought before courses
are taken. Please discuss this with your departmental advisor. More information can be obtained at
http://www.latech.edu/admissions/transfer/.
Technical Requirements
Proper technology components are critical for success in the online learning environment. Use the
following list of technology requirements as a guide for determining if upgrades are needed before you begin
an online degree program.
Minimum Computer Requirements
o Core i3/i5/i7 Processors
o 2 GB recommended [4 GB Recommended]

A valid e-mail address (A La Tech e-mail will be provided after fees are paid and can be used as long
as student is active).
The student’s Tech e-mail is used for all correspondence through the university; therefore students
should check this e-mail account regularly.
High speed internet connection is required in order to view classes, take online examinations and submit
assignments. If you are using an Internet connection other than DSL or cable, please discuss this with the
department technology coordinator to ensure you have the ability to watch Tegrity lectures and access course
materials. Relying on library computers will not suffice for online students. If you are purchasing a new
computer, please contact the technology coordinator and he/she will be able to help you with the latest
specifications.
Registration
Once a student is admitted to the University and has indicated a degree program, they will be
contacted by an individual in that department. A department advisor will be assigned and will work with the
student to create a customized plan of study. The advisor may contact the student via e-mail or telephone to
obtain information. The student will also be assigned a B.O.S.S. User Id and password, a Louisiana Tech
Student ID number and their La Tech e-mail address. These will be sent to the student by mail.
B.O.S.S., the Bulldog Online Student System is an online registration program which also includes
critical dates for registration, academic calendars, and the schedule of classes (Racing Form). Final grades
can be accessed via B.O.S.S. at the end of each Quarter. Fee payment may also be arranged through
B.O.S.S. Currently, students can only register for online classes through B.O.S.S. if the course does not
require a special permission signature. All online HIIM courses require a special permission signature. If a
permission signature is required, registration is handled through the department office.
https://boss.latech.edu/ is the main page for B.O.S.S. and the Student login page can be accessed through this
page.
After the department advisor has determined the student’s class schedule, the schedule is given to the
department secretary, who is responsible for submitting this list to the Registrar’s office. The student is then
registered for their courses. If a student fails to pay fees by the date indicated, their classes will be purged
(dropped) and they will be unable to take courses for that Quarter.
It is sometimes necessary to register for classes after the Quarter has begun. The departmental
secretary will communicate with the Registrar’s office concerning adding students to online courses after the
Quarter has begun. The normal drop/add period ends on the third class day and no students can be added to
a class after the ninth day of class.
Racing Form
The “Racing Form” is the list of courses offered each Quarter. This form will be available online
before early advising each Quarter. Please refer to the Louisiana Tech website at
http://www.latech.edu/registrar/racingform.shtml for the newest versions of the Racing Form. Schedule of
classes can also be accessed via B.O.S.S. Most online courses can be identified by the section numbers of
084 or W85.
Course Delivery
Course Formats
Although each course is unique in content and may differ in delivery format, Moodle Course
Management system will be the base platform for all online courses. Students will receive their Moodle
User ID and password when they are admitted to the University. Each course will have a unique Moodle
page where the instructor can post announcements, lectures, files and/or grades. Students are encouraged to
become familiar with Moodle since it will be used in all online courses. Students will receive more
instructions regarding the use of Moodle in each specific course syllabus. The login page for Moodle is
https://cas.latech.edu/cas/login.
Each course will require different participation and have various methods of evaluation. Where some
courses require participation in student discussion boards, others will rely heavily on submission of
assignments or objective examinations. All specifics will be explained in the course syllabi and will be
subject to the instructor’s discretion.
Textbooks required for courses are available for purchase through the Louisiana Tech Bookstore. To
see the list of required textbooks for each course and to order textbooks, go to http://latech.bncollege.com/.
It is important to order textbooks as soon as possible to ensure timely delivery.
Testing
Formal examinations are an integral part of many courses. Some instructors elect to use a Proctor for
administration of examinations. A proctor is an individual who will give examinations to the student and is
responsible for submission of those exams to the Distance Education Coordinator. Proctors may be assigned
according to location, preference, or availability. If you would like to nominate a proctor, please see
Appendix C for the Proctor Approval form. This form must be submitted by the student within the first
week of the Quarter in order for approval to be obtained before the first exam. The department’s distance
education coordinator reserves the right to approve or reject such requests. Any inquiries regarding proctors
should be addressed to the Louisiana Tech University Testing Center. All proctored exams go through the
Louisiana Tech Testing Center.
Professors will give the student the date window of the examination along with instructions regarding
materials allowed, date the exam is due, method of taking the exam and time limits. This is usually a
window of 3 business days. All communications regarding proctors, test dates and methods should be
addressed to the Louisiana Tech University Testing Center. Requests for date extensions and specific
content questions will be addressed to the professor of the course. According to the University Honor Code,
using any materials other than those allowed by the professor constitutes cheating and disciplinary measures
will be taken accordingly. Please be prepared to produce a picture ID for your proctor’s verification upon
request.
If the student is not able to take the examination within the given period of time, the student should
contact the professor immediately and explain the circumstances. Each individual faculty member reserves
the right to approve or disapprove deadline extensions. Please make sure you communicate with your
professor in a timely manner to ensure ample time for review.
After the student completes the exam, the proctor will be responsible for following instructions
regarding returning the exam to the Louisiana Tech Testing Center. Proctors may prefer to fax, e-mail or
mail paper examinations. Electronic exams will require computer access. Testing format will be decided by
the course instructor and may vary from course to course.
Grading
Examinations and assignments will be graded in a timely manner. All grades will be posted via
Moodle. Final grades are available via B.O.S.S. under “Unofficial Transcript” or “Grades”. Please see the
Louisiana Tech Catalog for instructions regarding appealing grades and requesting Incomplete grades (“I”
grades). The catalog can be found on the Tech website at http://www.latech.edu/registrar/bulletin/select
Course Evaluation
Near the end of the Quarter, each student will have the opportunity to evaluate the course as well as
the instructor. This evaluation will be conducted through Moodle. We encourage each student to use this
tool in order to give feedback to the University, the department, and as well as the professor. We value your
comments and suggestions and hope you will provide us an opportunity to improve our online educational
environment. The Louisiana Tech University Health Informatics and Information Management Department
wants to help every student in our program to achieve what they are looking for in their education.
Student Support Services
From time to time, we understand that online students will need assistance in various areas. We
encourage students to utilize the online information resources available such as websites and helpdesks to
answer questions. Although many questions and issues can be resolved by simply visiting the proper
website, it is common for students to need personal contact with a helpful individual in that particular
department. We have attempted to identify the individuals who can help with specific issues, and hope to
streamline the troubleshooting process:

*Note* It is the student’s responsibility to ensure proper documentation and communication with the financial aid office. Your
departmental advisor nor the secretary can answer specific questions regarding loans, grants, or scholarships.
Library Resources
Each online student has access to the vast online resources available through the Prescott Memorial
Library. Using your La Tech ID number and password (default password is the student’s Date of Birth),
students are able to log in via the library website at www.latech.edu/library and access the online database.
The following website addresses technical issues you may experience when using online library resources
http://www.latech.edu/library/info/tech_support.shtml. Students can also speak to library staff via the
Internet through the library home page.
Advising
At Louisiana Tech, each student is assigned a faculty advisor from their academic department. The
advising relationship is something that is integral to the success of the student. For existing students,
advising occurs approximately 3 weeks before the end of the quarter. Online students are advised a week
before on campus classes to ensure placement in courses. Students can view the classes they have been
registered for through B.O.S.S. Advisors will evaluate the student’s plan of study and recommend an
appropriate schedule for the subsequent Quarters. Online advising can be accomplished via telephone or email according to student and advisor preferences.
For new students, an advisor may call you once you are officially admitted to the University. It may
be the beginning of the Quarter in which you are to begin studies before you can be advised for scheduling
of classes.
University Rules and Procedures
Dropping a Course
If a student wishes to drop or resign from a course after the Quarter has begun, they must contact
their advisor and submit a Drop Form (Appendix B). Students should initiate this transaction before the
established drop date (can be found on the Quarterly Academic Calendar)
http://www.latech.edu/registrar/calendar.shtml. It is the student’s responsibility to be familiar with this date
and to indicate their wishes prior to the drop date. Drops within the first 3 days of the Quarter are without
penalty and do not appear on the student’s transcript. Because of the limited number of offerings, students
should consider the impact of dropping courses on their expected graduation date. Dropping a class assigns
a “W” as a grade and no credit is earned, therefore the class must be taken again. Students who do not drop
the class before the drop date will not be able to drop the class for a “W” grade and will have to remain in
the course for the entire Quarter. Only in special cases involving medical emergencies or other inadvertent
circumstances will “drops” be approved after the drop date. These requests are subject to approval by the
College Dean. Please contact your instructor first if you feel you must drop a course.
Resigning from the University
If a student wishes to drop all of their courses for a Quarter, they will officially resign from the
University. In order to resign from the University and drop all courses, the student must obtain a
Resignation Card (Appendix D), and indicate their intentions to the secretary of the department. The
secretary will secure all required signatures and send the card to the Registrar. For information concerning
tuition refund, see the fee schedule for the appropriate Quarter at www.ltadm.latech.edu/comptrol. The Fee
Refund Policy will indicate amount available for refund according to withdrawal date. If a student fails to
properly resign from the University, they will receive an F in all courses. If a student resigns during the first
7 weeks of the Quarter, a “W” will be assigned as the grade for the course, as if the student dropped it. Any
student who officially resigns from the University and wishes to readmit to the University will be required to
reapply for admission. Any admission fees and deadlines will be applicable.
GPA Requirements
All students should remain in good standing with the University, which requires a cumulative 2.0
GPA. Any student who fails to remain in good standing will be placed on Academic Probation.
Academic Probation
Undergraduate students will be placed on academic probation whenever their cumulative grade point
averages (GPAs) are 10 or more quality points below a 2.0 average. To determine this, multiply the
cumulative hours attempted by two. If the answer is 10 or more quality points greater than the actual
cumulative quality points earned, students are placed on probation. Example: Student attempts 40 semester
hours and earns 71 quality points. Multiply 40 x 2 = 80: subtract 71 from 80 = 9; student is not on probation
because 9 is less than 10. Once on academic probation, a student will remain on probation (as long as each
quarter average is at least 2.0) until the cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher is achieved. Once a cumulative
GPA of 2.0 or higher is achieved, a student will be cleared of academic probation and placed in academic
good standing.
Academic Suspension
Undergraduate students on academic probation will be suspended at the conclusion of any quarter,
including summer, in which they fail to earn a GPA of at least 2.0. First-time freshmen will not be
suspended prior to the completion of three quarters of enrollment. The period for the first suspension will be
for one quarter. All subsequent suspensions will be for one calendar year. A student on academic suspension
from Louisiana Tech University may not enroll in another university within the University of Louisiana
System, but may enroll in a community college. Credits earned under these conditions may be accepted for a
degree at the suspending institution provided grades of “C” or higher are earned in each of the courses to be
transferred.
Readmission from Suspension
Appeal for reinstatement after academic suspension may be made to the student's academic dean or
to the Director of Basic and Career Studies, as appropriate. Appeals must be accomplished by noon on the
day of General Registration/Fee Payment. If approved, the dean notifies the University Registrar and the
reinstated student’s registration status is activated. Reinstated students will be continued on academic
probation.
HIM Policies and Procedures
HIM Grading Policy
It is the requirement of the HIM department that all students make a “C” or better in ALL courses in
order to satisfy curriculum requirements. Any student who does not make a C or better in any course must
repeat that course in order to improve their grade and move on in the HIIM curriculum. The Health
Informatics and Information Management Department is all based on a 7 point grading scale.
Updating contact information
It is vital for online students to make certain their contact information is up to date at all times. This
includes home phone number, address, cell phone numbers, and alternative e-mail address. Please make
sure that you make any changes known to the Registrar’s office as well as your academic unit. See the
Registrar website at www.latech.edu/registrar for more information on how to change contact information
for the University. It is also important for information to be up to date in the academic department in which
you are enrolled. Please contact the HIIM Office at 318-257-2854 to make changes known.
Professional Practice/Clinicals
Health Informatics and Information Management students are required to complete a Quarter of
professional practice prior to graduation. This involves the student performing HIIM tasks in healthcare
facilities during normal work hours. The purpose of professional practice is to provide hands on experiences
for students to learn in real world situations. In order to begin the professional practice portion of the
curriculum, ALL coursework must be complete. This means a “C” or better must be recorded for ALL
courses, both HIIM as well as General Education Requirements. The Professional Practice portion of the
curriculum is now offered during all quarters: Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. Also, the faculty
committee will convene before each student begins the clinical portion of the curriculum. This committee is
comprised of HIIM professors. The purpose of this committee is to evaluate the effectiveness and potential
of each student in a professional environment. The faculty committee reserves the right to prevent a student
from entering professional practice based on their evaluation of the student. We expect professional
behavior and a respectful attitude of all our students, thus such behavior is expected at clinical sites. Once
approved, the professional practice coordinator will contact the student prior to the Quarter they are to begin
to discuss sites. Health Information Administration students will be required to complete 6 weeks of
professional practice. As an accreditation requirement, students cannot be paid for the work performed
during professional practice. Further information regarding professional practice requirements can be
obtained through your departmental advisor or the professional practice coordinator.
Graduation
All coursework and professional practice credits must be earned in good standing in order to
graduate. Any student who does not possess at least a 2.0 GPA will not be allowed to graduate.
Commencement ceremonies are held every Quarter to commemorate success of graduates. Online
students are welcome to attend the commencement ceremony at the end of the last Quarter they attend
Louisiana Tech. Please contact the HIIM office for information regarding registering for graduation as well
as purchasing graduation attire. This should be done at the beginning of the final Quarter in order for
administration to be aware of attending graduates. If a student fails to register by the deadline, they will
not graduate that Quarter. Any online student who does not wish to attend commencement should contact
the HIIM office for information on how to obtain your diploma.
