If you are not taking this course for credit toward a degree, then you do not need to submit this Begin Sign In form. It is only for those students who are taking the course for credit.
IF YOU ARE TAKING THIS COURSE FOR CREDIT If you are taking this course for credit toward a degree you must fill out and submit the following form before starting each individual course.
You must sign in on this sheet the first time you log in for a course.
Do NOT use this form when you finish the entire course and are ready to take the Final Test. Use the Finish Sign In form instead. Click the name to access that form.
The Begin and Finish forms are both needed to keep track of attendance.
Multiple Sign In forms: Please do not submit more than one sign in form when you "Begin" a course. You DO NOT submit sign in forms for each of the individual lessons in a course. You only submit one Begin Sign In form for each course and one Finish Sign In form when you complete an entire course and you are ready to take your Final Test. Additional sign in forms only clutter up the system and cause unnecessary work for the staff here at the college. The only exception is if you submit incorrect information on the first, or as it is to be indicated, "Original" form, then you may submit a corrected form and you will indicate that it is an "Amended" form. Failure to indicate the corrected form as "Amended" will result in that form being Disallowed and you will have to resubmit it correctly as an "Amended" form. In addition you will not be allowed to start your course of study in the subject for which you submitted the form until you resubmit it correctly marked as "Amended."
Fields must be filled out correctly and completely. Our sign-in system is automated. If you don't enter your complete and correct email address, then there is no way we can contact you or file this form!
ATTENTION:
Please read the following instructions before submitting the form.
TEST POLICY There will be no exceptions to this policy!
In all courses you must meet the minimum attendance requirement before taking your first and all subsequent tests. Attendance requirements for the course overall and for the individual lessons in each course are plainly posted on each course main page.
Example 1 If the requirement is that you can not do more than one lesson per week in a course, then your first test cannot be submitted until at least the last day of that first week of attendance. All following tests are to follow this last procedure according to the minimum attendance required per lesson. Add the attendance to the date of your last test and you will have the minimum date for your next test.
Example 2 If the requirement is that you can not do more than one lesson per two week period in a course, then your first test cannot be submitted until at least the last day of the second week of attendance. To compute the minimum date for your second test you will add 14 (the required attendance) to the date you took your first test. All following tests are to follow this same procedure according to the minimum attendance required per lesson. Take the date of your last test and add the number of days minimum attendance required per lesson, 14, and you will have the minimum date for your next test.
Attendance Attendance will be figured from the day that you turned in your Sign In form for that course. Keep a record of your sign in dates to "Begin" a course because you will be required to enter that "Begin" date on your Sign In "Finish" form submitted when you finish the entire course. There is a COURSE RECORD FORM that you can download. Use one copy of that form for each course taken to record all pertinent information for that course. The link to the form can be found HERE and another link is in the aqua/blue box on this page.
WARNING 1. If the specified attendance requirements have not been met before taking any particular test, then that test will be disallowed and the student will have to retake the test when the requirements have been met. Any tests following that test in the sequence for that course which are submitted before the retake of that disallowed test is successfully completed will be considered out of sequence and will also be disallowed for that reason. 2. Any tests taken out of sequence will be disallowed and will not be credited to your file. If you skip a test in the sequence, then all tests following will be out of sequence and will be disallowed. They will have to be retaken at the proper intervals after the missing test has been submitted.
You will be asked on the Begin Sign In form if you have read and agree with this test policy.
UNUSED SIGN IN WARNING:
Do not Sign In more than 30 days before starting a course.
All Sign In to "Begin" forms that are not used within three weeks are purged from the system and you will have to submit another Sign In form when you are ready to begin.
Courses that do not require lesson tests to be submitted, such as NT Survey, OT Survey, Discipleship I., etc., are exempt from this requirement. This requirement is only to allow us to purge unused sign-in forms from students who do not actually begin their classes within a reasonable time. If you are in doubt, please contact me directly through our Contact form to give me confirmation that you are ready to start taking this course or for information concerning your Sign In form.
