Textbooks and Assignments

All self-paced courses have required textbooks and/or course materials, the cost of which is not included in the total course cost. The cost of textbooks and materials is additional and ranges from $50 to $200 per course, with an average cost of approximately $95. Information about textbooks and course materials will be sent to you upon completion of enrollment.

Submitting Assignments

You may submit a maximum of three lessons in seven consecutive days per course. Although the time required for preparation of assignments varies considerably, the average time per assignment is six to 12 hours.

Note that you cannot take an examination until all lesson assignments prior to the examination have been completed in full, submitted, and graded. Every effort is made to return lessons to students promptly, usually within five working days. However, lessons may be graded more slowly at certain times of the academic year, especially during the summer and vacation periods.

Since it is the responsibility of the student to set a schedule for course completion within the allotted six-month period, please inform our office and your instructor right away if you have a graduation deadline or other deadlines to meet. If you are graduating, you must enroll and begin your course at least 10 weeks prior to your graduation deadline.
