Penn Foster warning info.

[mjno]

Hi All,

I am signed up with both the Penn Foster Tech Math course and the English 100 course.

I signed up with the Math course back in January and I only have to complete the proctored exam (been waiting for about 2 weeks).

Last week I signed up with the English course (just started).

I just happen to call today and asked about when my proctor should recieve the exam and to my surprise was told that I would have to finish all of the English assignments before I would recieve the final Math exam (makes sense doesn't it). If I had been told about this policy I would have waited until I recieved the proctored exam for Math before I signed up for English. I did ask what sense it made to make someone wait (unless you started both at the same time maybe) for a Math exam until the English was finished, especially since almost all of the Math was done before I signed up with the English and the response was "sir that is our policy", (no explanation).


I called and got it taken care of (I hope) but everyone should be aware that this is Penn Foster's normal policy.

So if you start a course do not sign up for another one until you finished the first one.

This is not just a rant because I do enjoy the courses, just be aware of the policy.

Mike
