How fast can I complete my degree?
The time it takes to complete a course varies from learner to learner. Learners are encouraged to maintain a consistent effort in their learning experience at AmPac. In order to derive the greatest benefit from the programs, learners will, ideally, be working on one course and have two or three additional courses on hand. As soon as one course is completed and turned in, the learner can then begin working on the next course.
Completed courses are received and critiqued by the AmPac faculty in the order they are received. The grade sheet, including faculty comments about the learner’s performance, will be returned to the learner within 20 business days. Projects are reviewed and critiqued within 30 days.
TIME FOR COMPLETION In all the programs, a learner must complete no less than five (5) courses per year of study. The entire program must be earned in not more than eighty-four (84) calendar months. If the program is not completed within the prescribed eight-four (84) months (seven calendar years), the learner will be issued a transcript of credits earned to date and given a dismissal notice from the degree program. The learner may petition AmPac for an extension of time due to extenuating circumstances.
How does this distance program work?
Upon enrollment, each learner is sent the first course required courses for his/her particular program. There are additional core courses required for that specific degree level. Subsequent courses are electives and should be chosen periodically from the catalogue by the learner. If the learner needs help making elective selections, the faculty will suggest courses, focusing on the learner’s interests.

LIBRARY
The ability to use a library and other learning resources is an essential component of both higher education and lifelong learning. AmPac learners will be required to use a variety of learning resources during their enrollment. AmPac has a limited research library that contains books, video tapes and audio tapes relevant to our courses. Since AmPac is primarily an independent study program, learners are required to have access to their local library. Learners are encouraged to choose a local college or university library, if possible. All of AmPac’s independent study courses are designed around the required textbook(s) for that course. The learners will usually purchase these textbooks, although most are also available in public libraries. Most courses have an optional reading list referencing other pertinent material. To obtain the optional reading materials, the learner will generally have to go to their local library. Learners who choose to study the optional course material report a significantly enhanced learning experience.
What if I need to contact a faculty member for help?
