Fall 2021 PAL Cohort:

The Personalized Accelerated Learning (PAL) Program provides the opportunity to complete classes at an accelerated pace, via PAL Cohorts. 

  • A PAL Cohort consists of two, accelerated, 8 week classes that take place back-to-back in one 16 week semester, available in the fall & spring semesters.
  • Before you can register for a PAL cohort, you will need to complete a short online Orientation.

Complete classes at an accelerated pace with PAL

PAL orientation

  • PAL stands for the Personalized Accelerated Learning program, where you can complete your required classes quickly wiht a PAL cohort. Research has shown students enrolled in PAL math cohorts experienced 25% success increase vs. students enrolled in traditional math courses. 
  • A PAL cohort consists of two, accelerated, 8 week classes that take place back-to-back in one 16 week semester.  
  • PAL cohorts are available in the fall & spring Semesters.
  • The classes are linked and cannot be taken separately. Sorry, but there are no exceptions.​

  • Before you can register for a PAL cohort, you will need to complete a short online PAL Orientation. 

  • Two Math cohorts are offered this semester (Math 102 & Math 104). To find them in the college schedule of classes, select "Personalized Accelerated" under 'Class Type'.  

  • If you were flagged for PAL in a previous semester, you should still be flagged for PAL unless you skipped last fall or spring semester.
  • Currently, PAL cohorts are only offered for Math 102 & 104. We work with various academic departments to offer PAL in subjects that are a good fit for acceleration and the cohort format. Each academic department chooses how their classes are delivered (based on student success rates and instructor availability).  ​
