Flex: Online Undergraduate Program

Chaminade offers students a  flexible and more affordable online program to earn their degree. Flex courses start on the first of each month, allowing twelve enrollment starts throughout the year. There are no set class meeting times so students can learn when it is most convenient for their schedule. Flex students have 24/7 access to their online courses, so it is a flexible and accommodating model that supports students in achieving their goals.

In Chaminade's Flex program there are two enrollment models to choose from: 1) the Flex Accelerated model, similar to a traditional model, which allows students to complete courses in 10 weeks. Students utilizing VA benefits must enroll in the Flex Accelerated program in order to utilize their education benefits, or 2) the Flex Standard model which allows students to complete their courses in four months or less, according to their own schedule.

In both models, students have access to a dedicated professional academic advisor and faculty and will experience success checkpoints throughout their coursework. With small class sizes and program flexibility, there are ample opportunities to engage with your faculty and receive individual attention. 

Flex: Online Undergraduate Program Enrollment Models

In the Flex program,  students can choose between two models that will allow them to determine their rate of completion. Both models offer flexible, high-quality online courses that cater to the differential needs of fully online students. Chaminade recognizes that many students are juggling family, work, and other responsibilities and encourage students to register for the Flex enrollment model (Flex Accelerated or Flex Standard) that works best for them:

  • Flex Accelerated Enrollment Model -10 Weeks: In the Flex Accelerated enrollment model students have the ability to begin courses at the start of any month and will complete coursework in a 10-week term. Additional details are included below:

    • Students who wish to use their VA benefits must enroll in the 10-week Flex Accelerated enrollment model.

      • VA beneficiaries who wish to participate in the Flex Accelerated program will request permission at the time a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) is submitted. Attendance verification is required by week four of all enrolled courses to maintain enrollment. Reports from the Learning Management System (Canvas) are used to determine attendance and participation. 

    • Registration is open year-round. 

    • Classes begin the first of each month with 12 starts per year.

    • Each enrollment has a fixed start and end date, which is different from the Flex Standard Term.

    • The course end date is at the completion of 10 weeks.

  • Flex Standard Enrollment Model - 4 Months: In the Flex Standard enrollment model students have the ability to begin courses at the start of any month and will have the flexibility to complete courses in up to four months. The Flex Standard model will enable students to more effectively balance life’s demands. Additional details are included below:

    • Registration is open year-round. 

    • Classes begin the first of each month with 12 starts per year.

    • Each enrollment has a fixed start and end date.

      • The course end date is at the completion of the course requirements or at the end of four months, whichever comes first.
