CORRESPONDENCE PROGRAM

Correspondence courses can be used to fulfill the requirements to complete a college program while learning in an individualized format. The lessons provide a flexible learning system that enables you to fit education into your work schedule and family responsibilities. You can progress at your own rate by scheduling your own time to study.

If you intend to use correspondence courses for entry into universities and colleges, you should ensure that these courses are acceptable credits. We are not able to guarantee these courses meet the requirements of all post-secondary institutions.

All Correspondence Courses are numbered using the code designations, which appear on student transcripts. All college-level courses require a successful high school diploma, an adult high school diploma, or a GED high school equivalency diploma. In addition, the following prerequisites must be completed:

Business Administration Courses:

• Mathematics 112A and 112B

POST-SECONDARY COURSES AVAILABLE

Correspondence courses are completed at home with a lesson book using a textbook. Assignments are forwarded to NBCC in Moncton by e-mail, fax, mail or in person. Once lessons are corrected, they will be mailed back to you. All lessons are marked according to the date received and will be marked within two weeks of receiving the assignment. A maximum of two assignments can be submitted per week. Once all of the lessons are complete, and a passing lesson average of 60% is achieved, you’re eligible to write the exam. The final exam counts for 80% of the final mark and the average lesson mark makes up the remaining 20%. You must achieve at least 50% on the exam for the lesson average to count.
