Personal Financial Planning Courses Updated
In August 2006, the College introduced changes to courses MSTR 1101-1105 in the Personal Financial Planning degree. These five courses will be expanded to seven courses, providing more time for MSTR 1101, 1104, and 1105 course materials. Here are the changes that affect current students:
| How PFP Courses Transfer Over for Current Students |
The following information is in reference to all students who have already completed courses toward the PFP major.
If you have completed MSTR 1101-1105, you will not be affected.
However, if you have currently completed only a portion of the requirements, this will affect you, but will not increase your degree requirements. Many students will not be required to take an elective because of the degree changes. |

| CFP® certificants (non-legacies): CFP® certificants will have PFP 510-516 waived and students will need to take seven electives to replace those courses. |
Pricing for the PFP 510-516 modules will be as follows:
PFP 510: $65
PFP 511: $130
PFP 512: $130
PFP 513: $130
PFP 514: $130
PFP 515: $65
PFP 516: $65
Modules will be required effective the October 2006 session. These costs do not include other required textbooks.
PFP 511 and PFP 516 will not be offered until January 2007.
PFP 511-514 and PFP 516 courses incorporate a CFPE final examination as part of direct assessment. Students of these courses will take the examination during the final week of the course; it is proctored and taken online. The intent of this direct assessment is to measure the student's mastery of the learning objectives using a successful assessment tool. This is the same examination that the College's self-study and mentor students take; it should allow you to get a "feel" for the CFP® Certification Examination. Each examination is worth 100 points. The courses will contain the following:
CFPE 1101 - PFP 511 will cover PFP 510 and PFP 511 module learning objectives
CFPE 1102 - PFP 512
CFPE 1103 - PFP 513
CFPE 1104 - PFP 514
CFPE 1105 - PFP 516, will cover PFP 515, 516 module learning objectives
If you have any questions about these changes, please contact the Academic Counselor, Ms. Viviane Price at Viviane.Price@apollogrp.edu , your enrollment counselor at 800.237.9990, option 3, or send an e-mail message to cfpenrollment@apollogrp.edu.
