  2. Live Classes with Graded Discussions and Graded Assignments: With this option, in addition to the advisor-led class meetings mentioned above, students may submit their papers and other assignments to their advisor for review and grading.
    Registration Fees$325 per semester, per student, per course; reduced to $275 for STAA students.

  3. Writing and Reasoning Live Classes with Graded Discussions and Graded Assignments: These live classes we call the ✪Essential Schedule courses.  The ✪Essential Schedule courses meet every school week of the semester.  The courses in this category are Composition I, Composition II, Essay Writing B, Logic, Essay Writing A, Critical Reading, and Research Papers.
