Example program course sequence
This example course sequence takes course prerequisites into account, so it can be helpful as a general guide when you register for courses. In GuidedPath, you can take up to three courses per quarter; the number of courses you take in a quarter and time it takes to complete your program can vary. Your academic coach can help answer any course registration questions.
What can I expect in the courseroom?
Each unit consists of readings, discussions and other activities you will be expected to complete throughout the week. Most deadlines for coursework occur on Thursdays and/or Sundays but may vary by program and course. In each course, you will receive a detailed scoring guide that describes expectations for every graded assignment.
How will I be graded?
Grades are based on your participation in weekly reading discussion, completion of quizzes (in most courses) and completion of assignments, based on criteria outlined in the scoring guide. You will also be assessed on your ability to demonstrate the expected learning outcomes for your program or specialization. These learning outcomes are based on the needs and performance standards of your field or discipline.

Example program course sequence
This example course sequence takes course prerequisites into account, so it can be helpful as a general guide when you register for courses. In the FlexPath format, you can take a maximum of two courses at a time, and the time it takes for you to complete your program can vary. Check in with your academic coach to get help with course registration questions.
What can I expect in the courseroom?
With FlexPath, you set your deadlines within the first 12 days of each course. Take one or two courses at a time and complete them on your schedule. 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. You’ll use the same quick and seamless process for submitting assessments for every course. A scoring guide explains what you’ll be evaluated on, and a competency map shows your progress.
How will I be graded?
Each course in FlexPath is based on a set of competencies, which are further broken down into criteria. A criterion is a specific step in demonstrating a competency. You’ll have a scoring guide that explains competencies and each criterion. As you complete assessments, your score on each criterion is evaluated against this scoring guide. Each time you receive an evaluation on a criterion, your competency map will update to reflect your progress. To pass a course, you must meet the minimum level requirement set by your program for every competency in the course.
