ALL BASES WITHIN A SPECIFIC REGION.

STUDENT SUPPORT FUNCTIONS SUCH AS ON-SITE EXAM PROCTORING, GRADING,
REMEDIATION, AND DATABASE GRADE POSTING. THESE SERVICES ARE
AVAILABLE TO ALL STUDENTS ENROLLED IN OFFICER PME REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER THE STUDENT IS PARTICIPATING IN A SEMINAR PROGRAM. IN
ADDITION TO THE LOCAL SEMINAR SUPPORT RC'S PROVIDE THROUGHOUT THEIR
SPECIFIC REGIONS, THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EXPAND THE REACH OF THE
