General Notes about NationsUniversity Academics:
- Active status continues for one calendar year from registration. With each course completed, the registration period is automatically extended for one calendar year. It is to the student’s advantage to remain in active status.
- NU students are expected to do their work online. This means courses will be accessed directly over the Internet and exams will be taken online. Course syllabi can also be printed from a PDF file.
- NU students are responsible for checking the website for announcements, news, and grade reports.
- NU students are permitted to take any undergraduate course offered. Graduate courses are limited to those who hold a bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree. However, a prospective graduate student may take Foundations courses before being formally admitted to the graduate program.
- Students work at different rates and completion time for each course will vary. When one course is completed, the student proceeds to the next course in their program, which can be found on the user report. We strongly recommend, following this plan, one course at a time.
- Students may withdraw from an academic program at any time. See our refund policy.
Student Privacy
Under the provisions of the federal law known as the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA), eligible students, or where applicable, the parents of the students, are afforded certain rights pertaining to university records and personally identifiable information on file with the institution. An eligible student is defined as any person who is currently enrolled or has been enrolled in the institution’s programs. It is the policy of the institution to treat all student information, both personal and academic, as strictly confidential. Student information will only be released after appropriate written permission has been obtained.
Student records are maintained and viewed only by authorized NationsUniversity personnel. Under no circumstance is student information divulged to the general public without the student’s consent. Students are not permitted to view other student’s personal information. Student data are maintained electronically and/or in hard copy and protected from unauthorized access.
NationsUniversity further protects students from the possibility of arrest and harassment when they live in a country inclined to take action against citizens who engage in unauthorized religious study. In such countries, postal contact is limited or curtailed. Persons assigned to communicate with these students are trained to deal with the delicate situation.
Students can request to have their names withheld from public view in the online list of graduates. Student names, personal testimonies, and pictures are published only with a student’s written (e-mail or post) consent.
