Update to Rules Regarding Rapid Completion RULE #10
Hi everyone!
As our community grows, we want to make sure this remains a helpful space for all Penn Foster learners. To keep the focus on what matters, actually earning your diploma or degree and making sure that you can stand behind your well-earned education, we’re officially adding a new rule regarding rapid completion.
Why the change?
We love to see enthusiasm to reach the finish line! That said, trying to speed through your program may raise academic review flags and, more importantly, can limit opportunities for meaningful learning. Our goal is for every learner to get the most value from their time with us, so they’re truly prepared to achieve their goals. Taking the time to review your lessons thoughtfully before moving ahead is the best way to set yourself up for consistent success and long‑term retention of what you learn.
Keep it Real:
Questions on the academic pacing and how it works are permitted. However, posts asking how to bypass lessons, exams, skip material or graduate within an unrealistic timeline will be removed.
Focus on Learning:
We want to protect the value of your diploma. Your effort matters because that’s where the learning actually happens, not just checking a box but gaining real knowledge and skills.
