The time it takes to complete a course varies from student to student.  Students are encouraged to maintain a consistent effort in their learning experience at AmPac.  In order to derive the greatest benefit from the programs, students will, ideally, be working on one course and have two or three additional courses on hand.  As soon as one course is completed and turned in, the student can then begin working on the next course. 

Completed courses are received and critiqued by the AmPac faculty in the order they are received.  The grade sheet, including faculty comments about the student’s performance, will be returned to the student within 20 business days. Projects are reviewed and critiqued within 30 days.

When circumstances prevent a student from completing the program, the student has two options.  The student may terminate their enrollment, or they may seek a leave of absence.  The faculty advisor may grant a six-month leave of absence.  The Director of Admissions must approve a longer leave of absence.  These requests must be made in writing to the University.

To enroll at AmPac, each student must complete and execute an enrollment application.  A preliminary evaluation of the application is made within two weeks of its receipt by AmPac.  Application documentation papers may be sent after enrollment, but they must be received and verified before program completion.  When a student is accepted for enrollment, initial courses and other materials are sent within seven days of admission.  A student will be considered officially enrolled when their application is reviewed and approved by AmPac, and a tuition agreement is signed.

The application, together with all available records, e.g., transcripts, diplomas, certificates, etc., serves as the basis upon which past academic, professional, and other experiential learning is evaluated.

student files must contain official transcripts within ninety (90) days of enrollment.  student copies of transcripts from previously attended colleges or universities may be provided for evaluation purposes.  However, official transcripts must be sent to AmPac for its permanent records.

Limited credit for prior experiential learning may be granted at the bachelor’s level for documented university-level learning experiences.  Such experiences must demonstrate a balance between theory and practice and relate directly to the student’s degree program.  AmPac faculty will be responsible for evaluating experiential learning on an individual basis.  A maximum of 15 units of experiential credit may be awarded for the first sixty (60) units of the Bachelor’s Program and an additional fifteen (15) units of credit may be awarded for the second sixty (60) units of the Bachelor’s Program.

To receive experiential learning credit, the student should prepare a listing of their experiences in chronological order.  Each experience should be documented in writing.  After such experience is reviewed, the student will be notified of the estimated number of units they will receive.  If the student disagrees with this estimate, he or she may request the President of AmPac to examine the experiences and re-evaluate the credit granted.  The President’s decision will be final.  There is no charge for the evaluation of prior experiential learning.
