This process allows eligible students who cannot access courses offered by colleges and universities, either because of scheduling conflicts or availability, to develop a contract to learn the equivalent knowledge.

Under the guidance of faculty mentors, students prepare contracts which delineate what they will study, the resources they will use and the methods by which their knowledge will be assessed.

Students must have earned more than 60 credits toward their degree to be eligible for contract learning.
