Understanding Provisional Progress

Some courses in your degree program may share content with other courses. When you complete shared content, the resulting workload hours appear as provisional progress in each course that uses that content. Provisional progress gives you a real-time picture of your potential workload completion across courses.

How Provisional Progress Works

When content is shared across multiple courses in your degree, completing it generates workload hours for every course that includes it. Because each hour of learning can only count toward one course for the purposes of your degree, these shared hours are initially marked as provisional until they are assigned to a specific course.

Example

Course A and Course B both include the same 1-hour module.

When you complete that module, both courses show +1h provisional in your workload tracker.

When Course A is completed and finalized, that 1 hour is permanently assigned to Course A. The +1h provisional is then removed from Course B.

Where You Will See Provisional Progress

Provisional progress appears in several places across your dashboard:

Course Progress: Under Required Workload, provisional hours appear in yellow text as "+Xh provisional" below your confirmed workload.

Course Activity Feed: Individual activities from shared content are marked with a "Provisional" tag next to the activity title.

When Provisional Progress Becomes Final

Provisional hours are resolved automatically when a course is submitted for completion:

1. The shared workload hours are permanently assigned to the completed course.

2. The provisional hours are removed from all other courses that share the same content.

No action is required from you. The system automatically tracks, assigns, and resolves provisional hours as you progress through your courses.
