Assignment due dates
Set your own pace for learning as you study each week for eight weeks. Every week you are required to reply with your answers to the discussion question(s). Your instructor reads and responds to student postings on the Discussion Forum and will evaluate individual weekly participation. If you can’t participate, it’s your responsibility to make arrangements with your instructor via e-mail.  << Back to top

Handling of submitted materials
You retain copyright to any work you create within this course and may use it as you see fit. We will not use any of your work for purposes other than your learning, without getting your permission first.  << Back to top

Privacy
Except for information you share with your instructor and with others enrolled in the class, your contributions are private. Your grades, submitted materials, and discussion group comments are confidential. They will not be released without your permission.

When interacting with your instructor and fellow learners, you are expected to use your real name.

Only Unity staff will have access to your name and e-mail address. And Unity will not distribute your e-mail address to anyone without your permission. At your discretion, you may share your e-mail address with other students within the Discussion Forum.  << Back to top

Records management
The instructor evaluates your discussion contributions weekly for Lessons 2 through 10. Shortly after the conclusion of the course, discussion forum content will be purged from storage. Your transcript will show whether you completed the class and will be available only to you and Unity faculty, administration, and staff. Release of your record requires your written permission.  << Back to top

Grades and performance evaluation
To receive credit, you’ll need to achieve a passing grade, which will be based on your contributions to posted discussions for Lessons 2 through 10. Final grades are Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, No Credit (due to lack of attendance), and Incomplete. It’s your responsibility to learn the material to meet your own learning and spiritual growth goals. Interacting with your instructor and classmates helps, but your success in learning is up to you.  << Back to top

SEE credit
Unity Spiritual Education and Enrichment—or SEE—offers a combination of courses to help you in your spiritual growth. There are two tracks in the curriculum: the Spiritual Development Program and Leadership Development Program. The Spiritual Development Program track must be completed before enrollment in the Leadership Development Program. Credits are earned by successfully completing course work, and all the credits required for each track must be earned within a ten-year period. Credits apply to programs offered by Unity and are not transferable to accredited universities.  << Back to top
