The Learning Agreements for the advanced KAMs V, VI, and VII require assessors affiliated with the student's academic program. Should a student wish to work with a faculty member from another program, the student must gain approval from both program directors. 6.3 Learning Agreement Approval Process Walden advises students to review the Learning Agreement approval process carefully. Students who are attentive to these procedures will minimize the chance of encountering delays in the approval process. Walden strongly encourages students to submit Learning Agreements electronically in order to expedite the approval process.
Assessors acknowledge receipt electronically by next working day.
If the first assessor determines changes are necessary, the assessor returns the document to the student for revision. If the first assessor approves the Learning Agreement as submitted, the assessor forwards the material to the Office of Student Records or the second assessor as appropriate. If the second assessor determines changes are necessary, the assessor returns the document to the first assessor and student for revision. If the second assessor approves the Learning Agreement as submitted, the assessor forwards the material to the Office of Student Records. Upon receipt of the Learning Agreement, the Office of Student Records documents the assessor approval dates and the receipt date.
