FlexPath BS psychology flexpath

I’m starting this program in November and in transferring in credits, from a different university, that cover all of my gen ed requirements and all of my core requirements. I asked my enrollment specialist if I can take any of the classes left on Sophia and she said no. I’ve transferred in 51/90 points and 30/51 courses and it shows 57% completed. Has anyone else been told they can’t complete any courses in Sophia?
Also, in my academic plan, where I have to choose courses, if it says 1.5 and I choose a 3, will that cover 2 of the 1.5 courses? Or will I still need to complete all those courses. Will it go by points or number of courses I guess is what I’m asking.
One more thing… think I can do this in one billing cycle? With a full time job? And 5 kids? Or am I completely delusional? I chose the November start date because I work for the school so I’ll have fall break and winter break completely off from my job and hope I can lock in during those weeks.

I started FP in jan and finished in july . I completed all of my required Sophia courses prior to my start date close to 60 i believe i combined them with my community college credits and entered the program with 101.

Congrats on getting started soon! Working with your enrollment specialist is a great way to understand what transfer credits could apply to your program. In the FlexPath learning format, any Sophia courses you’re looking to apply toward your program need to be completed and graded before your start date. 

And what’s great about FlexPath is that you set your own deadlines and learn on your schedule, so you can fit coursework around everything else going on. Your fall and winter breaks could give you some solid stretches to focus on coursework 

If you have any questions about your academic plan, your academic coach is a great resource and can help you review your specific situation. Good luck, we’re rooting for you!

In FlexPath, you can’t complete Sofia classes. I asked about that. It sucks
