You have 90 days to access and review the course content after you have completed the last lesson in a course.(Regardless of when the course is completed within the 180 days from enrollment.)

If you can not complete your course within the 180 days, then you may purchase a 60 day extension from your school. The 60 day extension period begins from the date your course originally expires. You may purchase up to three extensions per course. It is your responsibility to contact your school coordinator to find out about purchasing an extension. It is recommended that you purchase the extension immediately after the course has expired in order to be able to have the full 60 days of the extension.

To complete the course and receive your Completion Certificate, you must successfully complete the following requirements:

  • Complete ALL instructional lessons in the course by answering each question correctly at least twice. The questions are timed and need to be answered within the prescribed time for credit.
  • Return a signed and dated Student Affidavit to your school when the course is complete. The Student Affidavit is a signed document from you certifying that you have personally completed each assigned lesson of instruction. This student affidavit must be returned before you can receive credit for a distance learning course. (You may access your Student Affidavit only after all lessons are complete. Click on that “Submit Documentation” button under the Course Certification Instruction tab to obtain a copy of the Student Affidavit.)
  • CD-ROM Students: You MUST upload your course work upon completion of all course lessons. (Directions on how to upload your course are available on your course home page.) If you do not have the ability to establish an internet connection, you must save your course work to a diskette and return that diskette to your school so that the school administrator can check it for course completion. (Online courses will be automatically marked as complete when you finish the last lesson.) Please note: It is highly recommended that you upload your course work every time you exit your course, as this will save any work that may be lost if you experience computer problems.
