I’m on a new career path and am going back to school. From my first bachelors is a BS in risk management, 69 of my credits transferred over to Capella for Psychology. I have about 49 to do to complete the bachelors for psychology. How long will that take? I’m verifying w an enrollment specialist that all electives are done or what is needed so that I can get them done now through Sophia before my classes start in July.
I still have plenty of financial aid help left according to FAFSA. But Capella is only letting me use $800 towards the $2700 I will owe in June when I start.
So far they only signed me up for one class-I guess I add the others when I’m officially starting?
I have 14 classes left in FLEXPATH because i had a lot of transferred credits
Why are they not giving me the full amount I typically get at a brick school? I’ve never had to pay out of pocket EVER. And I still have over $9000 in financial aid to use.
What do I do?
I’m new to this school.
For MS in Clinical MH Counseling degree:
I have been trying to sort out this internship stuff for over a year now. I keep hitting dead ends. I NEED to work a full time job or I’ll be homeless and delinquent on all bills. They’re not allowing me to do my internship at my place of employment (this is now the THIRD job I’ve changed to try and make it work). How do I make an external internship work on top of a full time job!? I live in a rural area and there aren’t many options, let alone even if those options ARE available, they only run traditional hours M-F 9-5. I work M-F 7-330. Do they really expect us to either be so privileged that we do not need a job, or expect us to work 40 hours a week and then somehow add in an extra 30 hours a week for internship? Where?! How?! No where has the hours in a workday to even make that work! Hardly anywhere is open on weekends and even if they were, that leaves me working 7 days a week and STILL not enough hours to meet the 30 hours a week average for internship. I’m at a loss. Also let’s add onto the fact that most places are at least an hours drive away from my home. I have zero solutions this is ridiculous. Also, I have tried applying for a Sally Mae loan, in the case of me just NOT having a job & racking up more debt, but I was denied. I don’t have a husband or family that can just pay my bills for 6 months either.
Hey everyone,
I need to vent/ask for some collective wisdom. I’m currently grinding through my courses, and while I absolutely love the flexibility of the FlexPath model, the sheer volume of writing is starting to break me. For those of you who are flying through your courses and finishing early, what is your system?
Hellooo, just curious if anyone here has taken this class and what their thoughts are on the work load? I'm really interested in it but if COUN 5279 (Life Planning and Career Development) has a lighter work load I might hold off until after the summer since I've got a lot going on. I was trying to research on google but couldn't find any direct student experiences with the course so thought I'd ask here. Thanks all!!
I am about to start, and wondering how strict the Ai rules are for just using chat gpt to write the essays and get this over with as fast as possible?
How strict are they?
Hi everyone, I fished in early April and got my first congratulations on April 24th and now me degree is on the way and was shipped on May 14th and should be here this Thursday the 21st of May. I hope this helped someone else
I completed the Ph.D. program in Family Psychology and was actively writing my Dissertation when a medical emergency sidelined me for two months.
When I tried to pick up where I left off, an apathetic voice on the phone told me my program had been discontinued and I could either a). Start over with a different program, or b). Walk away.
I spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars working toward my Ph.D. only to have them pull the rug out from under me when I was almost ready to graduate.
Hi everyone!
I’m currently in my 2nd year of the CMHC program at Capella and on track to go to residency this summer. Unfortunately, the course is waitlisted. I already spoke to my advisor and got on the waitlist, but I already got accommodation and the flight (all non-refundable).
My advisor said most likely something might open up in mid-July but it’s hard to tell. Realistically, what are my chances are being able to go to residency this summer? It’s on me for over preparing and not checking to see if I get in to the course first, but I’m not gonna lie, I’m a bit disappointed at the possibility of noting being able to get in and attend.
Before anyone asks: yes, pre-registration was turned on yet I didn’t get into a section (spoke to my advisor and technical support about this, they don’t know what happened—it could be an internal error during registration), i’m in good academic standing. My advisor said I did everything I could on my end, all I can do now is just wait and see.
If anyone was in a similar situation like this, can you please let me know how it turned out for you? Like were you able to go or had to push it back? MI case, I live overseas so if I can’t go this summer, I most likely have to wait until winter at the earliest or summer next year. It really sucks, but I am hoping for the best.
Thank you! Take care :)
Question for the wonderful Reddit Capella hivemind. If I get distinguished in every attribute, but one basic on like my paper, do I get to finish the class? The only reason I’m asking is because I just got blasted with a bunch of emails asking for feedback on “End of Course Evaluations” despite not putting in for the course to be completed yet?
Is this down for anyone else? I’m trying to check my work before submitting
While Capella is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, but its doctoral clinical psychology programs lack American Psychological Association (APA) accreditation. So it's really not marketable.
Was anyone able to transfer in credits from beauty school? Googled this, it says that capella may accept some of these credits. Just looking for some real life people that has actually been able to. Thanks!
Tried logging into my course (I’m on Flexpath and work full time so I have very limited time) and again I can’t access anything. I can’t even access my finances dashboard to pay my fees (which is an entirely other story on the incompetence of FAFSA for another thread) which are due soon. When do we get our tuition reimbursed for the lack of access? When do we get automatic extensions for courses that we can’t complete due to lack of access? Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?
Hi guys! I have a question. I made a huge mistake. I’m in my first year at Capella University. This week everything for one of my classes was due by Friday which was yesterday rather than Sunday. I completely forgot. I have maintained a 4.0 GPA since I enrolled last year. I went ahead and completed my last 2 quizzes and submitted them. But I also see that quizzes will not be accepted late, especially at the end of class. Has this happened to anyone? What was the outcome? My grade went from over a 90% down to a 67% and I’m really starting to panic.
Hello everyone, I’m starting my MS in Clinical Psychology-Applied Research in August. According to my academic plan, I’m taking one course per quarter. Is it feasible for me to take two classes per quarter without feeling overwhelmed? Can anyone give insight into how this program is.
Hey, if I can finish 16 classes in two terms (realistically could have finished in one term but I slacked the first term) then so can you. I finished 14 classes in the first term and 2 in the second. If I could go back and tell myself to not be lazy for the first four weeks of the first term, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
If anyone has any questions about any classes or processes feel free to ask. I do think this program was pretty easy but it does take time and dedication.
I see a lot of posts concerned about the Capstone but in my opinion, the capstone was quite the easiest class in the program.
I honestly never thought I’d see the day I’d have a degree because I’d always had such bad focusing/concentration skills in high school and community college. But I can say that I finally gave my diploma at 28 years old.
MBA program will start this fall at Capella :)
I started Jan 8th doing Sophia classes and took as much of the degree as possible to transfer. March 9th I started the flex path. I learned that writing to the rubric was mostly the way to go as well as checking out the helpful hints videos put in by some professors that would spell out exactly what they want. 125 days total start to finish. Total cost right now is under 3k (2758)
During this time I worked full time 48 hrs a week in a warehouse. I would create outlines during the day for an assignment and then finish when I went home or wait till Saturday as a study day to do them.
I'm only writing this to possibly encourage someone who is thinking about it. If you can be disciplined to work a bit each day you can absolutely accomplish it.
Cheers
My account still reflects a balance today
Hi everyone. My degree go rewarded at the end of April. Does it actually take 4-6 weeks to come in the mail? I got offered the digital yesterday. Idk if that makes a difference
