Course Formats

Self-Paced Courses

Self-paced courses offer students the flexibility to work at their own pace, receiving guidance and feedback on their progress.

  • Rolling enrollments: These courses are open for enrollment any day of the year.
  • Pacing: These courses can be completed in as few as six weeks or take up to 6 months (180 calendar days). The six weeks is counted from the date of the first lesson submission and not the date of enrollment.

Students often find these courses to be a great fit: 

  • when a course is needed out of its regular sequence, such as during the summer or a fall course during the spring.
  • for student athletes, military connected, or homeschool families that need a highly flexible education schedule.
  • for students who need to regain lost credits, especially at an expedited pace.
  • for students pursuing advanced, accelerated, or elective opportunities. 
  • for students pursuing a diploma with the University of Missouri High School.
