Each course is designed to be completed in 18 weeks, the same as one semester at a traditional campus.  However, here at Wolters students have a chance to finish much faster.  Work can be done at home and at their own pace as long as their on schedule to finish in 18 weeks or one semester.  Students will be given an U for Unsatisfactory if they are not on pace for each three week grading period.  However, they can make up that U for an S (Satisfactory) or E (Excellence) for the next grading period if they complete at least 10 to 15 days of assignments before the next grading period ends.
