Sinclair FlexPace FAQs

+ What happens if I can't maintain an 80% in my FlexPace course?

If you fall below an 80% in your course, you may still complete the course. You will be awarded the grade you have earned, but you may not be able to take any more FlexPace courses. For example, if you are only earning a 65% in your FlexPace course, you will pass the course with that 65%. You will no longer be allowed multiple attempts to complete assignments; your first attempt will be your final grade.

+ When can I start my FlexPace courses?

FlexPace courses remain open for enrollment throughout the semester, usually even after traditional course start dates have passed. After you have completed the admission requirements, including completion of the FlexPace Orientation and How to Succeed in eLearn, you may self-register for any FlexPace course if you have a 3.0 GPA. If you do not have a 3.0 GPA, and you need assistance with registration, please contact flexpace@sinclair.edu.

+ If I want to try a FlexPace course, do I have to take all my courses in that format?

No, you may register for any combination of FlexPace, SinclairOnline, and face-to-face courses that you wish.

+ Do I need any special software or books for FlexPace courses?

FlexPace courses require the same books as traditional courses. You will, however, need access to a computer with a reliable internet connection. Information about the software needed for your FlexPace course is provided within the course syllabus.

+ Can I take an individual Sinclair FlexPace course, or do I have to pick an entire program?

Yes, you can take an individual FlexPace course to see how you like it, as an elective or as part of your current program.  You do not need to sign up for an entire FlexPace certificate or degree to take a FlexPace course.  You will, however, still need to meet/complete the admissions requirements for Sinclair FlexPace, even if you only plan to take one FlexPace course.

+ What kind of assignments can I expect in an FlexPace course?

FlexPace courses are similar to traditional online, however there are no due dates or discussions. You may have written assignments, quizzes, and/or labs in your FlexPace course. Each of the quizzes and exams allow multiple attempts. You need to earn  an 80% on all assignments to progress. Click here for a detailed list of assignments.
