Academic Interaction Policy

MyWay at UMHB represents an alternate format for education to measure learning. Student progress reflects completion of assessments which demonstrates mastery of competencies required for the degree.  Students are urged to recognize the importance of utilizing learning apps, success coaches, and other provided resources.

 

To promote student success, during a student’s first term in MyWay at UMHB, they are required to:

1. Participate in academic planning sessions with a success coach during the first 5 days of the term.

2. Master at least one assessment by Day 21 of the term.

3. Master at least one competency by Day 45 of the term.

4. Engage in an Academically Related Activity (ARA) each week. *, +

 

Students not participating in academic planning within 5 days of the start of the term will be automatically withdrawn. The refund policy can be found within the Refunds section of this catalog.

 

For all remaining terms, students are required to:

1. Engage in a learning activity each week.*, +

2. Make satisfactory progress towards a degree.


*Academically Related Activities (ARAs) include participating in academically-related coaching calls, recorded activity in learning apps, assignment or assessment submissions, online tutoring, faculty tutoring, and learning community participation related to coursework. Academically Related Activities do NOT include activities such as logging in to a class without academic interaction, participating in coaching calls without coursework discussion/activity, participation in online community not related to coursework (I.e. birthday celebration or giveaway activity), or participation on the platform unrelated to coursework. ARAs and our Academic Interaction Policy provide a measurement for Regular Substantive Interaction (RSI) between Instructor/Coach and Students. 

+ If students do not engage in an academically related activity for 30 consecutive days, the success coach will initiate administrative withdrawal from the program. The refund policy can be found within the Refunds section of this catalog.
