Minimum Weekly Progress Requirement

Students taking minicourses in the PACe Program need to show that they are consistently involved in their minicourse(s) by earning progress credits to meet a Minimum Weekly Progress Requirement.  The Minimum Weekly Progress Requirement is the same for all students.  However, students enrolled in more than one minicourse are expected to follow the recommended schedule for the number of minicourses in which they are enrolled.

If you miss the Minimum Weekly Progress requirement one or more weeks of the semester:
  • The first time you miss, you will lose your eligibility to earn an incomplete and the deadline for all of your minicourses becomes December 5, 2008.
  • The second time you miss, you cannot earn an incomplete and the deadline for all of your minicourses becomes November 21, 2008.
  • The third time you miss, you cannot earn an incomplete and the deadline for all of your minicourses becomes November 14, 2008.
  • If you miss the Minimum Weekly Progress requirement four or more times, you cannot earn an incomplete and the deadline for all of your minicourses becomes November 7, 2008.
REMEMBER:
  • Progress credits are earned by passing the Review or Unit Exams, including the Skills Review Exam.
  • You will only earn a progress credit the first time you pass a Review or Unit Exam.
  • Progress credits are checked every Friday at midnight (MST).
  • You can work ahead.  Extra progress credits count toward the next week’s requirement.  But don’t fall behind!  If you miss the requirement for one week, you cannot make it up by earning extra progress credits the next week.
