CDC310 Course Description
CDC310 - Writing Door and Frame Specifications Online 2013 Door and frame specifications require as much attention to detail as other specification sections. Fire-rated openings (both neutral and positive pressure tested) require particular attention to construction, labeling requirements, reinforcements, hardware preparations, glazing and frame anchors. These specifications must be carefully coordinated with other specifications to ensure the proper materials are provided. This course teaches you how to write clear, concise, correct and complete door and frame specifications using the Construction Specifications Institute’s MasterFormat™ as a guide. You will learn how to: Organize your specifications Use correct specification language Coordinate work in other sections Address product substitutions Prerequisite courses: COR145 - Principles of Specification Writing CDC300 - Using Door and Frame Standards Live Meeting Dates

TUITION POLICIES The tuition policies below have been developed to encourage students to be certain that they will be able to participate in a class prior to registering for it.
A $40.00 administration fee will be applied to cancellations received prior to the class start date. Registration fee refunds or transfers will not be issued for students who cancel or “drop out” of a course after the third online meeting of a course. Students dropping out of a course, prior to the third online course meeting, may request (in writing) a partial refund or transfer of two-thirds of the course registration fee. Registrations for classes that require successful completion of prerequisite courses will not be accepted until the prerequisite courses are completed.
SUBMITTING CHALLENGE EXAMS AS PREREQUISITES
Students submitting challenge exams as prerequisites for attending future classes are required to submit challenge exams no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the start date of the future class. Students who fail a challenge exam are strongly encouraged to register for a training course (online or face-toface) rather than retaking a challenge exam.
CLASS ATTENDANCE Students are responsible for taking corrective action should an online class date conflict with their schedule. We strongly urge students to separate themselves from other duties during class time and to set aside time for assignments. Therefore: Students who miss a class session will be required to listen to the audio recording (podcast) of the missed session before the next class. Should poor class attendance impact the student's final grade, it is fully the responsibility of the student.
