Self-directed assessments are a way to get credit for what you already know. These online assessments allow you to:
- Prepare with provided course materials and a peer tutor.
- Finish on your own schedule, within 45 days.
- Earn badges through interactive activities.
- Complete as a test-out (TO) on your transcript.
In uncertain times, you can at least count on managing the time you have to make a change in your education. And, you can count on us to offer the support you need to finish stronger.
