These modules may include readings, assignments, multimedia, and engaging videos that the student completes at their own pace. While students are able to set their own work and assignment schedule, if you have not completed the course one year from registration you will need to request an extension so as not to be withdrawn from the course. Teachers will communicate with their students regarding progress, motivation, encouragement, empathy, care, and guidance.
