Student Testimonies

"With the credit they awarded me for military training, I needed only 7 classes for my Associate’s degree. The instructors were very quick to respond to any questions, and the staff at Aims is always eager to please."

U.S. Army Staff Sergeant, Dustin Turner

"Completing my associate's degree in Telecommunications through Aims distance learning was a wonderful experience. The quality of the courses were excellent. I was able to complete all of my courses conveniently at home."

Schedule

Most classes begin the first Saturday of each month. Students do not have to wait for the beginning of a new term to register. Official start and end dates are assigned and students have up to 15 weeks to complete each course. Students are encouraged to take one course at a time since they can begin any time and can complete courses early if they wish. This provides students an opportunity to make certain they enjoy learning by distance rather than committing to multiple classes at one time. Students have up to two weeks following the start date to drop the course and return course materials with no obligation.

System Requirements

Computer with Windows 98 or higher, Internet access, and email. Some courses require a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive and some courses require a VCR.

Testing

Most courses require the final exam to be proctored. A proctor may be a person who your company arranges to administer final exams, or you may make arrangements with a person who would be an appropriate proctor. For example, you may make arrangements such as a librarian, a minister or priest, or a local school for someone to proctor your tests. Most tests can now be taken on-line, although a proctor/test administrator is still required. Click here to download a Proctor Selection form.
