Submitting Assignments
Please note that you must complete all assignments leading up to
examinations and the final. If a student completes an examination or
final before completing the required preceding coursework, the instructor will
assign a failing grade for any missing assignments.
Also, the general rule is to submit up to two lessons per week and allow a
one-week turn-around time for your instructor to grade your work. If you would like to submit assignments at a
slightly accelerated pace, you must first receive permission from the
instructor.

change your way of eating to promote health for a lifetime.

Stories From You - Our Students
Dear Flexible Learning,
I just completed the Legal Assistant Professional certificate course. I had
looked for some time to find a good, comprehensive, correspondence course for this field, and I found it. I
recommend this course to my peers.
Excellent...this is just the foundational legal introduction for which I
was looking.
Thank you, [name withheld],

Dear Flexible Learning Staff,
I would like to thank you all for all of
your help during this special time of mine.
I have verified things with my advisor and I will be graduating this
Summer. So again, thank you for everything.

Hello
Marjorie,
Thank you so much for helping me
again and again. I finally completed the course and got an "A"! This was literally my last UF course for my
degree and you have no idea how much gratitude I have for you. It's been hard because I moved back to my
hometown and started a new degree in a new university. What a big difference! So, it was difficult
to go back and forth, but finally I really needed this for myself.
Thank you again for all your help! To be
honest, my UF experience wasn't always great, but you are one of the few people
that I can honestly say really helped me. Thank you and I don't think I can
thank you enough.
