Important Information
Pace+ Students’ academic year is comprised of 3 student terms: 1, 2, and 3. There are 4 Tracks, labeled A, B, C, and D. A new student may begin at the start of any term, in any track. Students may not switch tracks.
Breaks are also listed. During these breaks, faculty will not be available but the student may still continue self-study. These breaks do not count as weeks of instruction.
Faculty terms are provided for reference. Faculty are loaded according to Faculty Terms, not Student Terms. Faculty for a specific competency course may change during the student’s term. Students will also move in and out of courses due to Student Directed Pacing. Students may continue coursework across terms, as long as they are enrolled.
