Testing
There will be a short test at the conclusion of the course, as is typical of most online courses.
A participant must achieve a grade of 80% or higher in order to receive the credit assigned to the course. If a participant fails their first attempt, they will be given 48 hours from the conclusion of the class to retake and pass the test. There is only one retake allowed. Participants will receive immediate notification of their test results from the web-delivered testing program. UNC Charlotte Continuing Education must keep a permanent record of those testing results for auditing purposes.
