In addition to examinations at the close of each module, PLI requires a “final” exam. In consideration of the time crunch this year, PLI has elected to offer alternative completions – i.e., students this year will not be required to complete three satisfactory home inspections as a precondition to taking their “final.” Instead, completion may be achieved in either order, as is common in other professional fields, such as accounting and architecture (where applicants are permitted to pass or fail sections independently and then re-take failed sections subsequently). In other words, a student who has submitted less than three acceptable inspection reports nonetheless will be entitled to take the final exam after completion of all course work (items 1-8 above), irrespective of that student’s score on the final exam. This policy will be reviewed by PLI at the close of the first academic year, but is believed to best serve the public and profession under the unusual circumstances present in 2006.
All final examinations will be maintained in a student’s file under PLI’s usual and customary document retention policy and available for review, by agreement with each student (as part of PLI’s academic policies).
