Following acceptance into a specific degree program, the University designates a Faculty Advisor within the student's field of specialization. The designated Faculty Advisor will immediately contact the student and personally assist him/her throughout the duration of the study program.

The University has adopted the following systematic procedure for evaluation of its students:

1.	The students are instructed to diligently study the assigned text along with other study material, reference books and publications worthwhile for updating knowledge and skills addressed in each course.

2.	The students interact with the Faculty Advisors as necessary. This interaction takes place via telephone, facsimile transmission, microcomputer, and video devices.

3.	The students are then expected to successfully demonstrate competency by a minimum of two examinations for each course. All examinations are conducted under appropriate proctored or monitored conditions in accordance with the University's guidelines. Additionally, graduate students may he expected to prepare a term paper or a report on a topic of contemporary interest in their field(s) of specialization.

4.	Faculty assessment of completed examinations is then performed. A numerical grade is usually assessed for each course based on student's performance. Letter grades are then assigned using these numerical grades. Basis or rationale as to how letter grades are computed for each course is provided to the student along with the study and examination material. The overall Grade Point Average (GPA) is computed for courses completed at the University.
