If you are taking classes for
credit, please submit a Begin Sign In Form when you first start each course and then submit a Finish Sign In Form when you complete the entire course. You do not
submit the sign in form when you "Finish" each lesson- only
when you "Finish" the entire course. You can access these forms through the SIGN IN page.
This is a link to a COURSE RECORD FORM. Download and
print a copy of that form for every course that you are going to
take. Record all pertinent course information in the appropriate
blanks provided on that form. You will need that information when
you submit future forms and password requests.
After signing in, then click
on a class and that will take you to that class page where you will find
specific instructions on how to take the class. Please read and follow all instructions.
You
must
meet minimum attendance requirements for each course if you are taking the course for credit toward a degree.
CREDITS
In
general, credits are figured according to the following
schedule. One credit being awarded per one-quarter course, two
per semester, six per year. This general schedule of one credit per quarter course may be
superceded by specific credit awards stated on individual course pages.

GENERAL
STUDY INSTRUCTIONS
These may be superceded by specific instructions
given on the course main page.
-
Each
section generally requires 1 week study/attendance.
You may NOT take more than one test in any one subject
on one day including retakes of failed tests.
-
Look
up every scripture referenced in the textbook and workbook.
At
the end of each section, stop and take the section test if there is one.
Most tests are "open book" which means that you may use all study materials (workbook, textbook, Bible, etc.) while taking the tests.
ANSWERS: Those tests that are open book require the exact answer from the textbook, workbook, or Bible, whichever of the study materials are appropriate for the question. Incorrect answers, spelling, punctuation, extra spaces before or anywhere in the answer or after the answer, will cause the answer to be scored as "Incorrect." Along with the privilege of using your study materials and taking an "open book" test comes the responsibility of giving
the answers to questions verbatim from those study materials. -
You
may NOT go on to the next section until you have passed the test
for the current section and found all of the answers in the textbook to
any questions missed on the current test, whether you passed it or not.
The attendance for the next Lesson begins on the
next day.
TESTING
Make sure you read and submit the Testing
Instructions
if you have not already done so. Only
one (1) Testing Instruction form is required per
student.
If you do not submit a Testing Instructions form
you will not be able to correctly fill out the
information page of the tests. And without
a Testing Instructions form in your file your tests
will be disallowed and they will not be credited to
you.
-
You may NOT take more than one test in any one
subject on one day. If you fail
a test, you MAY NOT attempt
that test again on the same day. You must restudy the textbook, the workbook, and your Bible (whichever is appropriate) and find all of the correct answers to the
questions missed and then retake the test no sooner than the
next day.
When you receive a passing score on a test you are required to find all of the correct answers in your textbook, workbook, or Bible, whichever is appropriate, for every question missed on the test. A copy of each test is automatically sent to you and you may use the correct answers listed on it to verify that you have found the
correct answers in the appropriate study materials. This is required before you go on to the next lesson. -
Sometimes the tests do not open when you first
download them. This is an unavoidable
slight quirk in some computers that causes them
to have a bit of a problem processing the
opening page of the tests, generally because of
filters or security settings on the computer. If you get a blank page, please
refresh the page and the tests will open.
Either click the refresh icon or press F5 to
refresh the page and open the test. On
rare occasions, depending on your internet
connection and your computer, it may take
several refreshes to open the test. If the
test still will not open, even after several
attempts to refresh the page, then please
contact us via the CONTACT form and explain the
problem. Upon receipt of the form we will
attempt to help you resolve the problem.
|
In all
courses you must meet the minimum attendance requirement per lesson before taking any test, including your first test.
Example:
If the
requirement is that you can not do more than one lesson per
week in a course, then your first test cannot be submitted until on or after the 7th day of that first week of attendance. If the requirement is one lesson every two weeks, then the test cannot be taken until on or after the 14th day of the 2 week period.
Attendance will be figured from
the day that you turned in
your sign in form for that course.
Attendance
for each lesson after the first one begins the day after you passed the test for the previous section and have found the correct answer in the textbook for every question answered wrong on the test even though you passed the test.
Keep a record of your sign in dates to "Begin" a course because you will be required to enter that date on your Sign In "Finish" form submitted when you finish the entire course. A COURSE RECORD FORM is to be downloaded and one copy printed for each course you are taking. On it you must record the pertinent information for each course because you will need that information for the Finish Sign In form and the Password Retrieval form which
you will submit at the end of each course. To obtain a copy of the Course Record form, please click the form title.
The form is in pdf format. If you don't have a pdf reader then please download the free Adobe Reader from http://adobe.com
You may take multiple courses at the same time.
If a
test is not submitted according to the attendance requirement,
then that test will be disallowed and the student will have
to repeat it when the attendance requirement has been met.

proceed faster than the required pace, then you will not
