Life experience credits

Some institutions accept life experience credit. Acceptance of this credit typically requires submission and review of paperwork proving that the applicant's life experience equals so many hours of coursework. This is an extensive process and you will need to know if it applies to your institution. Never heard of this before, has anyone had this experience before? Just curious.

Updating with the Florida Commission for Independent Education

In order to keep current with any document changes - it is suggested that you check the Florida Commission for Independent Education website at least once a month for announcements of any updates to Rules and Statutes. Does anyone know of a specific place on the website that would show updates? or would you need to look within the document for changes?

Graduation

Many institutions have formal graduation ceremonies at various times of the year. Some are elaborate and others are just cake and cookies served on the last day of class or as each student graduates. It's important to find out what type of ceremony happens at your institution.
