Each course must be completed within 12 weeks: within that time frame, it’s up to you. With FlexPath, you can complete coursework on your schedule and move on without having to wait.
You can take one or two courses at a time. When you finish a course, you can start the next one without having to wait. There is no limit to how many courses you complete during each billing session.
All coursework is evaluated through competency-based assessments. Each assessment is broken down into competencies, or criteria, that are all assessed with one of four performance levels: distinguished, proficient, basic or non-performance. These performance levels are what appear on your official transcript for each competency within the course. If you’re struggling with an assessment, coaching and other resources are available to help you.
When you finish a course, you will automatically be registered for the next course in your program plan. If you wish to register for a course earlier, or if a new course isn’t open after 4–6 hours of finishing the prior course, contact a coach for help with registration.
With FlexPath you set your deadlines within the first 12 days of each course. While these deadlines can be adjusted at any time after you set them, you’ll be required to engage in a course activity at least once every 28 days and finish each course within 12 weeks.
If you are approved for federal financial aid, note the requirements for you to maintain your eligibility. You must:
- Participate in a unique course during each 12-week billing session
- Complete a minimum number of required program points by the end of each billing session based on your degree and enrollment levels
- Maintain good academic standing
