Credit Advancement FAQs:
Since they cover either one or two semesters of material, Credit Advancement courses will require a substantial amount of homework. These courses may require longer online course meetings and if that is the case, instructors will build in breaks or allow breaks as needed.
Trying to work around busy Summer schedules? Check with coaches of Summer athletic camps if there is a slight overlap in times. Any planned absences of more than 3 days need to be cleared with the Summer School Office summerschool@materdei.org in advance and should be noted on the registration form.
