This program option consists of three
(3) prerequisite courses, listed below. Human Anatomy and Physiology (another
prerequisite
for this program) is not part
of this cluster, but is available as an independent course — click
here to register for Human Anatomy and Physiology.
The four prerequisite courses must be completed prior to starting
the specialty courses.
Once enrolled in the 3-course cluster, students
will have a 15-week period in which to activate the three courses
— known as the course activation period. When an individual
course is activated, it must be completed within 15 weeks* — known
as the course valid period. The 3
individual courses may be completed one at a time, or two or more courses
may be completed concurrently, depending on each student's schedule and
study habits, as long as the coursework for each course is completed
in the 15 weeks* allowed. See the course activation example
below:
(*Note: These are self-paced courses;
therefore, each individual course may be completed
in less than 15 weeks.)
Note that the 15-week activation period for CRM Cluster 1 prerequsites begins immediately after your registration payment is processed.

or HIM coworker to be in the same room with you as you complete your

friend to be your proctor. Spouses or family members cannot be proctors.
