For most courses, students have the option of attending 2.5 hour classes only 6 times a semester. On the alternate weeks, students have the option of attending a scheduled conference review period, in which the instructor is available to answer questions, review independent learning activities, or enhance what has already been taught or assigned.
Students usually attend conference review periods only if they have questions or problems.
Each student is assigned an academic adviser who is a specialist in the student's field of study. The adviser's sole responsibility is to monitor the student's registration each semester to make sure the student is taking the proper courses to move him or her quickly toward completion of a Bachelor's degree or certificate.
