AGU realizes that students are juggling family, work, and school responsibilities while still trying to carve out a little time for themselves. Sometimes weeks may go by before a student realizes they're getting behind and that five month deadline is looming.<br /><br /> This month AGU is instituting a reminder email message that will transmit automatically to students who have not submitted a lesson for over 30 days. The message will go out as necessary until the five month deadline.<br /><br /> If you have signed up for more than one course, are not using your VA benefits and have not submitted a new start date for your second course (or additional courses) on the student enrollment agreement, please contact Student Services <a href="mailto:rachelruiz@agu.edu">rachelruiz@agu.edu</a> to correct the start date for your second course. This will prevent you from receiving the inactivity notice for the second course. The start date must be no later than five months from the start date of your first course. <br /><br /> If you have any questions please contact Rachel at 877-351-9060 ext 1005, or by email at: <a href="mailto:rachelruiz@agu.edu">rachelruiz@agu.edu</a> </td> </tr> <tr > <td> <br /> <b>October 16, 2009 - EXAMINATION RETAKE LIMIT</b><br /><br /> Students registering for a course on or after November 1, 2009 will be limited to Lesson examination retakes totaling 20% of the total number of Lessons in a course. For example, if there are 25 Lessons in a course the student would be limited to 5 separate Lesson examination retakes. After a course's retake limit is reached, the student will receive the grade earned on the initial submission of an examination. Student Services will notify students when they have reached the course retake limit. This retake limit will not apply to students who are currently registered in a course but will apply to new course registrations on or after November 1. </td> </tr> </table> </p> --> <!-- <p align="center"> <table align="center" valign="top" class="agutext" width="70%"> <tr > <td> <center><font face="Times New Roman" size="5"><b>EdAlerts</b></font></center> <br /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <center><font face="Times New Roman" size="4"><b>INSTRUCTOR GRADING & MAKING PROGRESS</b></font></center> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Certain lessons in your course require review and grading by the course instructor.

If you register for more than one course and are not using your VA benefits, don't forget that since you have five months for each course you should indicate a new start date on the Student Enrollment Agreement of the additional course. This date must be no later than the five-month completion date for the previous course. <br /><br /> To indicate a new start date in the  Course Completion Requirement section of the Student Enrollment Agreement, please cross out the start date and indicate the date you will be beginning the additional course. Then cross out the listed completed date and mark it with a date five months from the revised start date. The new start date will be entered in your student file. <br /><br /> If you do not indicate a new start date you will be considered a  Non-Start and you will receive monthly notifications from Student Services. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <br /> Occasionally, students will call to ask if they can skip a lesson exam.

General statements that they could not find an answer or that the student believes they should be graded differently without a detailed justification will not be considered. </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <br /> AGU monitors student identity through the use of periodic proctored final examinations. When a student takes a proctored examination they must provide to the proctor a photo identification that includes their address. This photo identification must be copied by the proctor and submitted with the examination answer sheet. In addition, the proctor must also provide a copy of their photo identification to AGU, which includes their address, along with the examination submission. Students and proctors are advised to black out any unique id numbers, such as driver's license numbers or social security numbers. </td> </tr> --> <!-- place the text for the new alert below here --> <tr> <td> <br /> The AGU Student Portal gives you access to AGU's online library service, The Library & Information Resources Network (LIRN).
