Course Availability
For all programs, each course needed to fulfill graduation requirements is offered on a set schedule. However, if a student deviates from this schedule, fails courses, or leaves school for a period of time, one or more required courses may not be available. Generally, the more courses failed, or the longer a student is away from school, the more likely this will occur. If a required course is no longer available because the course has been “taught out,” or has already been offered multiple times to students in a cohort, a student may be required to take a substitute course, complete a course at their own expense through concurrent enrollment, or change programs.
To avoid needing to retake courses, students are encouraged to attend class, utilize resources (e.g. instructor office hours, academic coaches, study sessions, online resources such as Pluralsight.com), complete all readings and homework assignments, pay attention in class, take comprehensive class notes, and notify the instructor when course content is not understood.
