Some subjects will contain both a textbook and a study guide. Other subjects
will utilize a special workbook and possibly an additional study guide.
All lessons will include instructions explaining how the subject is organized
and may contain information on assignments found in the textbooks. Study
materials will include examinations you will need to complete and submit to the
School. A study guide is a special study aid to give you suggestions and
step-by-step directions for completing the subject.
The textbooks provided by the School are acquired from the best and largest
publishers of schoolbooks. Each subject will come with its own set of
instructions for test taking.
Step 1: Upon enrolling in First Coast Academy, you will receive the Students'
Initial Supply Packet. Your initial supply packet contains start-up supplies you
will use throughout your program. It's important for the student to verify the
content of the supply packet to be sure all of the items have been included:
- Welcome Letter-Contains a list of everything included in your
packet and reveals your Student ID Number.
- Student ID Card-Contains your Student ID Number.
- Enrollment Agreement-Showing your acceptance to the School.
- Transcript Request Form
- Preaddressed Return Envelope
- Copy of Tuition Schedule
- Student Number-You will notice your student number is printed on
your Student ID Card and on mailing labels when you receive lesson
shipments. This number is very important. Always write your student number
on all correspondence, examination answer sheets, forms, and payments sent
to the School.
- Mastering Study Skills-Required first lesson for all students.
Step 2: Examinations and Grading-Upon completion of a lesson, the
Student will be required to complete a written exam. All exams will use the
standard work sheet provided by the School with instructions printed at the top.
- Open-Book Tests-All unit test and final examinations are open-book.
Students are required to take all of the unit tests before being issued a
final exam. Each test is graded, the grade recorded, and the corrected test
answer sheet is returned to the student with comments by the teacher.
Step 3: Submitting Exam Answer Sheets-The Student should mail each
examination to the School as soon as completed. After successful completion of
all exams, the next lesson will be shipped in two business days.
Students are instructed to write their Student ID Number on the front of the
envelope and on the answer sheet prior to submitting. This assists us in
instantly determining the correct student to issue credit. Otherwise, the test
may be returned ungraded.
The student should allow adequate time for mail
delivery.
- Faxing Exam Answer Sheets-If you desire to fax in your exams, please fax
to 904-381-0135.
Step 4: Lost Test-Student should always make copies of their test
answers before sending their tests to the School. This will save much time and
effort should a test be lost in transit. The School cannot be responsible for
tests lost in transit. It is the responsibility of the student to provide
documentation for any missing tests or scores.
