How it Works
2: Follow the Course of Study

Course Guide
After you register, you will receive a course guide. If you register for a web based course, you will receive a password to access your course guide online. The course guide contains complete information about course requirements, submitting assignments for instructor comment and feedback, and taking proctored exams. When you receive the course guide, read the introduction to make sure it is the class you want.  If it is not, please read the Withdrawal section in Policies.

Exams
When you are ready for an exam, send the Exam Request Form in your course guide to Independent Study.  You must take your last exam and complete all of your course work before your 12 month deadline.  All examinations must be supervised by a Proctor.
