Self-Paced Courses
Self-Paced courses are exactly what they sound like - you progress through the course without scheduled due dates or assignment deadlines. Most of our self-paced courses are resource courses that do not require anything to be turned in for a grade. The only deadline is to complete the course by the scheduled end date. Adequate time is provided that will allow you to complete a course during the designated window of access.
