Jennifer,
There must be an acknowledgement of the electronic means and privacy statement.

Allen,
It is the backbone of online education with proper security measures taken into account.

Stephen,
The important facet is to have protection of electronic signature. There are many ways to do to ensure the confidentiality and security needed for online transactions.

If my address changes throughout my time here at the school, will that be a problem?
If I didn't know the answer I would ask my supervisor and compliance after that.
To my understanding, as long as the student has completed the form stating they are using an electronic signature they can complete the SEA electronically
This is a very good question and would like to be included in the answer.
We recruit national and rely on this everyday.
Does anyone know if enrollment agreements being sent, signed and returned electronically might pose any problems?
RENEE,
Specifics as you mention regarding attendance and reduction of grade would be in the catalog. The enrollment agreement and the catalog constitute he contract.

Under the class participation section, there is a brief mention of student attendance affecting the completion timeframe and progress and also that make-up assignments must be pre-approved by the instructor however, our school also has a strict attendance policy. Missing 8 hours of class time (2 days), will result in dropping one letter grade. This is articulated in the course catalogue but should it also be included in the enrollment agreement? Is it necessary to remain in compliance. We have a compliance department and I could ask them specifically. Any questions regarding compliance, I direct to this department even if it is an Education or Financial Aid question. If its regarding compliance I go straight to the compliance department to ensure the answers are accurate and up to date. Then I go to the specific department to follow up. If there is a difference in the answer this let's us know that perhaps some people were not aware of a change and then moving forward, we can be on one accord.
Other than that the enrollment agreement is standard and fairly simple to explain.
