To begin, the institute operates by the academic “TERM”, which can vary in length. The shortest term is always equal to the longest course. Theoretically, an academic year may be shorter in one Callander year than in another. 4-terms are generally not more than 30-40 credits, unless otherwise by special permission or a pre-determination by the institute can 30 credits be exceeded in each academic term. An academic year is always 4-terms. You must take a minimum of 3 classes per term or 9 credits to be considered a full-time student, with a maximum of 4 classes per term or whatever is required in your specific program. Some classes can be finished early.
From the time you start your program, you are allowed 5 working days to change your mind about program and take a different program option or another degree major that is being offered. Classes can run 5-12 weeks within a “maximum” 12-week academic term. It is possible to have more than 4 terms per calendar year.
Students must complete their programs in a reasonable amount of time. The maximum allowable classes per term are 4 classes, or 12 credits per term. In special cases where a student is not in a specific program of study and studying independently through the school, they are allowed to take courses as fast as they can complete each course and take course examinations.
Students studying courses independently through the school will be charged $25.00 per course examination and $125.00 for written course papers, when required by an assisting instructor. All courses in these programs are tuition free, except for monies for registration and other required fees. Students must also agree to donate any amount at the end of each term. We cannot operate without some assistance from you.
You “MUST” pay for your textbooks if we do not have the PDF version of the required textbook or if we cannot obtain a similar one for students to use in a course. Some PDF textbooks will be by a different author but cover much of the same thing as the instructor’s textbook. The instructor will also have a copy of your pdf textbook and will tell you what chapters you need to read. “WHEN” required, in many, if not most cases the school will provide PDF textbooks that can be downloaded by each student.
Many of the courses in these programs are self-study manuals. They are called programmed courses, where an instructor isn’t required for you to complete the course and take an examination. The programmed study manuals are free of charge and will be provided in a PDF format. Students are allowed to finish programmed courses early, when permissible while enrolled in one of the degrees programs but must not finish late and can take the examinations anytime they are ready, but not late, except by special permission only and the examination will not be otherwise accessible to the student.
