Each degree or certificate-seeking student registered for more than 9 credits is assigned an advisor. The advisor s role is not only to monitor the student s academic progress, but also to assist in goal clarification, career planning, and course selection. All students are responsible for attending program and group advising sessions and meeting with their advisors on a regular basis. Course Objectives and Requirements Students are informed of course objectives and special requirements such as field trips or internships at the beginning of each course. Each instructor will clarify individual grading and attendance policies.
Examinations are available in selected subject areas.
Similar to CLEP, ACT-PEP is a national testing program. The examinations are administered four times per year. The local testing center is at Northeastern University. In order to receive ALAP credit, students must provide evidence that their prior learning is equivalent to college-level learning. Each student receives assistance from a program advisor in documenting requests for credits.
