Progress Reports are included in our Online Learning Centers to benefit our students, not to restrict their study options. Over the years we have often heard that the most difficult aspect of study by distance education is the heightened need for self-discipline. Without it, many students fall behind in their studies and do not get the final grade they hope for because they are rushed at the end to complete assignments.

Progress Reports afford a measure of accountability that has been helpful to keep our students on track, thereby reducing both stress and the need for course extensions.

We have taken care not to make Progress Reports inappropriately punitive. Students who fall behind do get "dinged" with the lost of a fraction of a point, but unless a student is behind every week, the impact should not result in the loss of even half a grade point. If you fall behind one week, you can simply make up the work the next week and get back on track. If an illness or absence makes it a problem to catch up, contact our offices and we will work with you to find an appropriate solution. And remember, while Progress Reports add accountability, they in no way restrict your ability to study when you want, where you want, and how you want. We understand the great benefit of a flexible program and we seek always to ensure that we don't structure our courses to diminish the distinctive.
