Learner Expectations
FlexPath courses are competencybased
courses designed to allow you the flexibility to work at your
own pace. Your progress in a FlexPath course depends solely on your ability to successfully demonstrate
the course competencies. You will demonstrate these course competencies through multiple
assessments that simulate the type of work you would be expected to do on the job. As a selfdirected
FlexPath learner, you will develop your own plan for completing the assessments.
To successfully complete each course, you must complete all assessments and demonstrate all course
competencies at the level of:
Basic or above for undergraduatelevel
courses.
Proficient or above for master’slevel
courses.
After each assessment is evaluated, your Competency Map shows your updated, cumulative progress
toward demonstrating each course competency. You can access your Competency Map via the course

home page or from your academic plan on Campus.
Academic Community
To be a successful FlexPath learner, you must be skilled at the goal setting, time management, and selfdirection
needed to work independently. You will set your own pace, but you will also need to adhere to
the deadlines you set. This can be difficult to manage alone.
As a learner at Capella University, you are a member of a scholarly community. Learning is a
partnership; you are ultimately responsible for your own success, but you are not alone. As you work
through the course assessments, take the time to build a network of people within the Capella
community who can help you stay on track and achieve your goals.
FlexPath Course Structure
Personal Course Completion Plan
In every FlexPath course, you will begin by developing a Personal Course Completion Plan that outlines
your schedule for successfully completing all course assessments. You must submit your Personal
Course Completion Plan within 12 days from the date on which you registered for the course. This
is the course start date shown on your Campus dashboard.
If you receive financial aid, submission of your plan will release your financial aid funds.
After you submit your plan, a timeline displays on the course home page and shows your target date for
each assessment. This timeline pulls dates from your plan and reflects your progress as you work your
way through the assessments.
You are expected to update and maintain your Personal Course Completion Plan until you complete the
course and to use it to stay on track and on task. You can revise your target dates on the plan as
unexpected changes to your schedule occur, or you can add time to incorporate feedback on your work.
Course Engagement and Completion
You are expected to engage in your course weekly. As a reminder, academic engagement includes these
activities:
Submit or resubmit an assessment.
Interact with a FlexPath coach, tutor, or Capella Library staff about your course content.
Update on Tutorapproved
course activity (within the My Course Progress section of the courseroom.)
You have 12 weeks to complete each FlexPath course.
Academic Team
FlexPath Coaches As a FlexPath learner, you have a FlexPath coach assigned to help you achieve your
goals and complete your degree. Contact your coach if you have questions about your program or need
help selecting courses to meet your degree requirements. Your coach can also help you understand
Capella policies and procedures, develop your Personal Course Completion Plan, and navigate through
potential roadblocks. To contact your coach, use the Academic Team feature on your course home page
or the Contact Your Coach tool in the courseroom.
FlexPath Tutors Each FlexPath course has a tutor available to provide academic, oneonone
support.
Tutors can answer questions about course content, clarify assessment requirements, and help you
decide how to rework an assessment for resubmission. To set up an appointment with your tutor, use
the Academic Team feature on your course home page. Or, if you just need a question answered, use
the Ask Your Tutor tool in the courseroom.
FlexPath Faculty In FlexPath courses, the primary role of faculty is to review, evaluate, and provide
robust feedback about your demonstration of the course competencies in your assessments. If you have
specific questions about the feedback you receive, you may contact your course faculty directly via the
Faculty Feedback FollowUp
tool in the courseroom.
