How is my attendance verified?

All states have monitoring rules and require confirmation of class attendance. ACC University addresses this issue in two ways. First, we use technology to monitor your progress in the program. We monitor the number of minutes you spend on-line and even how long you spend with each course page. Each course is designed to last 60 minutes as your time will be reflected on your transcript and on your Certificate of Completion. Second, our courses contain a short test at the end of each course. These easy tests allow interaction of the student with the program and shows mastery of the key concepts being taught in the course. The passing grade will also be reported on your transcript. A passing score is NOT needed for CE credit in any state except New Hampshire, which requires a score of 80%.
 
Does my state accept ACC University courses for license renewal credit?
Each state has the ability to regulate their license renewal programs and most states allow some or all of their requirements to be earned on-line. It is your responsibility to determine if your state accepts distance education classes and ACC University courses in particular. To assist you, we have a link on our home page that allows each student to click on his or her home state and see what information is available from your state.

Yes! Our experience has been that ACC University provides information not available from other sources and these courses are frequently taken for the information, even if the student does not obtain credit.
