Academic standards

Academic excellence at Belair Online is about its effective learning methods and technology, its excellent faculty, staff, and support processes, and most importantly, its serious and committed students.

We offer all stakeholders the chance to actively participate in our academic learning community on the basis of individual excellence, mutual respect, the celebration of diversity on every level of interaction, and dedication to personal growth and meaningful societal contribution.

Our academic standards are based on the following principles:

• Fair, comprehensive evaluation of student performance based on:
  • Quality of content in written assignments, including completion of assignment requirements
  • Quality and scope of interactive contributions, especially in discussion threads
  • Exam and quiz results
  • Fair, consistent evaluation
• Ongoing comparison to major best-practices competitors to ensure market value of education
• Adherence to education industry standards, regulations, and proven best practices
• Inclusion of current research on academic best practices, especially in online teaching
• Leveraging available online/web/Internet technologies to maximize students' online learning experience and value
• Continuous improvement based on stakeholder feedback and suggestions
