Academic Information
Woodmont College is a degree-granting institution, licensed through the Florida Department of Education Commission for Independent Education. The college offers all coursework via online offerings.

Course Numbering System
The first number indicates the grade level for the course and the last number indicates which semester one can expect the course to be offered. Courses that are part of a sequence usually have a 1 or a 2 as the third number and courses that are not part of a sequence often have a 0 to indicate that they may be offered equally between semesters. The second number identifies that course. Sequences generally have the same middle number but different end numbers. Those with higher middle numbers often indicate electives.

Students earning below a C must retake the class. If a student retakes a class, the full tuition will be assessed. All assignments are graded using standard grading rubrics.
Instructors have the option to modify the Woodmont College Assignment Submission policy. If an instructor selects to modify the Woodmont College Assignment Submission policy, the instructor is required to inform students of the policy during the first week of class. The student late work policy of the instructor should be followed in all cases. This default late work policy is as follows:
Faculty and staff of Woodmont College realize that emergencies do occur. If a student knows that he/she will be unable to complete an assignment by the due date, he/she is to contact the instructor PRIOR to the due date. Early contact is best, as plans can be made to keep the student from falling behind, and ensure the highest possible grade. Without a prior emailed extension from the instructor, late work will be accepted up to one week after the due date for partial credit.
