All Courses are placed in this instructional area when a course has a general role in the institution, such as a study skills course, and is not unique to any single program or group of programs. No programs will be approved in this instructional area.
Districts offer study skills courses that deal with a variety of general content.
This includes proper study techniques, recommended environments for study, note-taking, test anxiety, communicating with teachers, time management, and resources available in the institution to assist students. The background to teach such content is not unique to any single group of instructors. These courses may be taught by any individual holding or eligible to hold certification as either an academic or occupational subject instructor. Certification may be requested for a course or for the instructional area.
