Challenge Examinations
During the admissions process, all professional experience is reviewed to determine if an applicant has sufficient occupational experience to warrant taking a Challenge Examination in lieu of completing the Study Guide for a particular course.
An applicant may be offered an opportunity to complete a Challenge Examination if the candidate's professional expertise appears to be comparable to the objectives identified for a particular course. Successfully passing a Challenge Examination will demonstrate an acceptable level of competence for that course. If a student does not pass a Challenge Examination they are assigned a Study Guide for completion.

Study Guides
California Coast University has developed comprehensive Study Guides for each course that are designed to coordinate and sequence the learning materials for the student.
Study guides are based on specific college level textbooks, which may be obtained from local bookstores, the publisher, or the University's lending library which is available by telephone, fax, e-mail or online via Coast Connection.
Study Guides are organized in such a way that students receive a complete syllabus for each course along with instructional materials, which guide students chapter by chapter through the corresponding textbook.
Each Study Guide contains an overview and summary of each textbook chapter, along
with a listing of important keywords (with definitions) and self-tests (with answers)
on key points. Each of these items is referenced back to the specific learning
objectives for the chapter, which allow the student to easily understand concepts
or theories presented in that particular chapter.
The Study Guide for Master of Education courses contain four, all essay, Unit
Examinations. After completing the first two Unit Examinations (Unit One and
Unit Two), examinations are submitted for grading and feedback. The last two
Unit Examinations (Unit Three and Unit Four) are then submitted for grading
and feedback.
As students in the Master of Education program are not required to complete
an additional Essay Examination, please submit your Final Examination Scheduling
Form along with the Unit Exam Three and Four.
Proctored Final Examinations
The Master of Education Degree programs require that a Proctor administer The Final Examinations. Proctored Examinations are conducted as non-timed open book examinations.
The purpose of the proctored examination is to verify that you are, in fact, the person who enrolled in the course of study. During proctored examinations, you may use your course textbook, and any notes that you have taken during the completion of your Study Guide.
The student selects the Proctor. A Proctor can be any responsible person who is not a family member. (Such as your Minister, Rabbi, a co-worker, librarian, etc)
