1. Short-term Leadership Certificate Programs (“Plan B”)
APCoffers an alternative option (“Plan B”) resulting in a certificate. Plan B is forstudents already enrolled in the who find that they do nothave the time to devote to the full-time program, or who fail one of the twocourses offered in a semester. In subsequent semesters, certificate students may enroll for only one course per semester and work toward earning one ofthe two certificates. all courses are offered on-line. The two certificate options include the Leadership Certificate and the ExecutiveLeadership Certificate. The Leadership Certificate may be completed in one year, after the student has successfully completed 9-12 credits. The Executive Leadership Certificate is slightly more demanding, with thestudent completing 15-18 credits in two years. There is no requirement for a scholarly paper or attendance at the Culmination.
Note that the following restrictions apply for Plan B:
- Students must already be enrolled in a cohort to switch to Plan B. No students are initially accepted on the Plan B option.
- The student must receive a passing grade in the other class offered the semester he/she receives the failing grade.
- The student may enroll for only one class (or for the maximum two classes) in any semester, but MUST complete all the certificate requirements within the time limit. If the time limit is exceeded, no certificate will be awarded.
- Students enrolled in only one course for the semester must pass that course in order to continue in the program
