FAQ's Plan 2 Clock Hour

Yes! The CTE Plan 2 Clock Hour is fully online and asynchronous. You can complete coursework at anytime as long as you follow deadlines outlined by the instructor.

Yes! Students can start during any quarter once they are accepted into the program. One thing to keep in mind is that practicum work cannot be completed during summer quarter, so you may have to extend your program one additional quarter if your practicum quarter lands in summer.

This program generally takes 2-4 full quarters to complete. These programs follow the Traditional Quarter sequence.  You can mix summer and academic year (quarters) to complete your program.
