The time frame indicated reflect the faculty's plan for the student to spend the assigned number of hours and weeks to complete the course. But the nature of online learning offer a great degree of flexibility, and you can take the courses at your own pace, faster or slower. However, you are expected to complete the program within double the assigned time, unless there are particular reasons to further extend the course or program period. You can omit specific courses in a program if you have equivalent education or professional experience.
