General Information
How Correspondence Study Works
You may enroll in correspondence study at any time, and you then receive a course syllabus outlining reading and writing assignments. You send your lesson to the instructor for comments and grading. The lesson is then returned to you. Grading is satisfactory/incomplete with a 70 percent or better average required to pass. You have one year from your enrollment date to complete a course. If you need more time, a fee of $50 will be charged for one six-month extension.
