On-Campus Participant Guidelines

Attendance

Participants must attend the entire course to receive a completion certificate. An absence of up to 30 minutes total may be excused by the course director. For any absence greater than 30 minutes, the participant will be asked to complete the online version of the course and answer some questions about the online session(s) before the completion certificate will be awarded.

Video Release

For any courses being taped for future online presentation, participants will be asked to sign a video release form. Any participant not wishing to sign the video release will be asked to sit in the rear corner of the room to ensure that s/he will not be captured on tape.

Online Participant Guidelines

Final Exams

Online participants are asked to complete a final exam at the end of each course to maintain the integrity of the program. A completion certificate will be mailed to participants when they pass the exam.
