Academics: FAQs

Do the assignments and quizzes have deadlines?

WA Online is a hybrid, self-paced learning platform. The platform will reflect recommended due dates, but students will not be penalized for late submissions. The listed due dates are simply to help students pace themselves in order to complete the course in the given timeframe. All coursework must be completed no later than the “end of enrollment date” established during registration.

Are there any restrictions regarding graduation?

Yes.

1) All students must complete the program’s coursework in its entirety prior to their 20th birthday in order to qualify for graduation.

2) All coursework required for graduation must be submitted by June 1st of the current academic year, in order for the student to graduate and receive a diploma from WA that same June. If courses are not completed by June 1st, then students will receive an incomplete (I) and should request an extension. If the student successfully completes the incomplete coursework prior to August 31st, then the incomplete designation shall be replaced with the current grade and the student shall receive their diploma on December 1st.

3) Any student who fails a required course for graduation in a core area must repeat the course at WA Online before the next course in the sequence may be taken. Failure in an elective course will not automatically dictate a make-up course. However, the course would have to be repeated if it is a prerequisite for another course the student wishes to take or if the student would not meet the graduation requirements for electives.

Is it possible to receive an extension for my course?
