3.  Assistance given to others in the taking of the Academy Courses is limited to help in reading, translating, or data input (person taking the course must supply all answers)

4. The time frame to complete Academy exams is 10 weeks from the date the exam is mailed, reflected by the mailing envelope's postmark or date sent via email. Directors have wide latitude as to how strictly to enforce this deadline. Points are sometimes deducted on late exams if no extension has been requested and granted. Outstanding exams are invalid after 6 months. A student must reapply with the stated tuition fee (if any), to complete the course.

Extensions
Colleges and Schools make provisions for students who, for compelling reasons, find they cannot complete exams on time. To get an extension, a student may request it in writing and include a Self-Addressed, stamped Envelope (SASE) or via e-mail, citing the reason the extension is needed. Extensions (usually 2 weeks) are by Director's discretion. Up to two extensions may be granted per exam.
