We will list new texts online at least 30 days before they are required. Proctored Final Exams All Coding Basics finals must be taken under the supervision of a proctor. This means you must ask a manager, supervisor, human resources personnel, or HIM coworker to be in the same room with you as you complete your final exams. If you are taking the courses outside of work, you may ask a friend to be your proctor. Spouses or family members cannot be proctors. Proctoring is necessary for the Coding Basics courses to be accepted for credit. Open our detailed proctoring instructions and forms through the following links:

Credits For the benefit of our Coding Basics students, AHIMA Distance Education participates in the American Council on Education's (ACE) Transcript Service. The ACE Transcript Service offers a lifelong record for students who have successfully completed our courses that have been reviewed by ACE CREDIT . This service enables adult learners to present a nationally recognized transcript to the college or university of their choice for the potential award of academic credit. For more information, visit the ACE CREDIT Transcript Service website. ACE CREDIT Service has recommended that 3 to 4 credit hours be awarded for each course in Coding Basics. However, t is up to each transferring institution how many credit hours are accepted. > View a list of credits recommended for individual courses and other details Students may register any Coding Basics course they've successfully completed with ACE. All of a student's ACE-evaluated courses are shown on one transcript with easy-to-read descriptions, credit recommendations, and suggested transfer areas. Upon request, the transcript can be released at any time to a college of the student's choice. To join the ACE Transcript Service, students must pay a one-time set-up fee of $40.00 and a nominal fee of $15.00 each time they request the release of a transcript. > Complete an online registration with ACE (for Coding Basics students) Registration
