NCAA CPL Navigation Exam flashcards

32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.

CPL dashboard areas

The dashboard presents Catalog, My Learning, Reports, and Administration. Administration appears only for accounts holding an administrative role assignment, so learners never see it.

Role-based navigation

Visible menu items depend on assigned role: learners see Catalog and My Learning, reviewers see a review queue, and administrators see user management and reporting tools.

Session timeout behavior

Sessions expire according to institutional single sign-on policy. After timeout the user must re-authenticate; unsaved assessment answers may be lost if not submitted.

Catalog search filters

Search can be narrowed by subject, credit type, delivery mode, and status. Filters persist during the session and reset when the user logs out.

Notification badge meaning

Badges on the notification icon signal pending review items, expiring enrollments, or announcements. The count clears once the corresponding item is opened.

Support form auto-attach

The in-platform support form automatically includes the current page URL and user ID, reducing back-and-forth when diagnosing navigation or access problems.

Published versus draft courses

Only published courses appear in the learner catalog. Draft and archived records remain visible to administrators but cannot be enrolled in by learners.

Enrollment types

Enrollment is open (self-enroll), approval-required (administrator or instructor approves), or assigned (pushed by administrator or learning path). Type is set per course.

Learning path completion rule

A learning path is an ordered or unordered set of courses with optional prerequisites. Completion requires finishing every required course in the path.

Prerequisite blocking and override

Prerequisite rules block enrollment until the prior course is complete. Administrators may override, but the exception must be documented in the record.

Course archiving effects

Archiving removes a course from the catalog and blocks new enrollments while preserving all historical enrollment and completion data for reporting and audit.

Unenrollment data retention

Removing an active enrollment deletes pending assignments but preserves completion records already earned, so transcripts and reports remain accurate.

Division I core courses

Division I requires 16 core courses: 4 English, 3 math, 2 natural/physical science, 1 additional English/math/science, 2 social science, and 4 additional.

Division II core courses

Division II requires 16 core courses with a different distribution: 3 English, 2 math, 2 natural/physical science, 2 social science, 3 additional, plus 4 more.

Core course definition

A core course is in English, math, natural/physical science, social science, world language, or comparative religion/philosophy, taught by a qualified high school teacher.

Non-qualifying course types

Remedial, vocational, and credit-by-exam courses generally do not satisfy core-course requirements unless the Eligibility Center has specifically approved them.

Rules education versioning

Rules education modules carry version numbers. When NCAA legislation changes, content is updated and learners may be required to re-attest completion of the new version.

Rules education completion record

Each completion stores learner, module version, date, and score. These fields support institutional compliance attestations and end-of-cycle reporting.

Progress percentage formula

Progress equals completed required items divided by total required items, shown as a whole number. Optional items are excluded from both numerator and denominator.

Course completion condition

A course is complete only when every required module and the final assessment meet the passing threshold configured in that course's settings.

Assessment attempt retention

Attempt count, highest score, and latest score are all retained. Attempt limits, if any, are configured per course and enforced at submission.

Completion record fields

A completion record captures learner ID, course ID, completion date, score, and the rules-education version where applicable, supporting audit and transcript generation.

Retake versus original completion

Retaking a completed course creates a new attempt record. The original completion date is preserved unchanged so historical audit trails remain intact.

Expired enrollment status

Enrollments past their configured expiration show as expired, not complete. Expiration dates are set at the course or learning path level.

Standard report types

Core reports are enrollment roster, completion status, assessment scores, and rules-education attestation. Each filters by date range, course, and role.

Export formats and timestamps

Exports come in CSV and PDF. CSV exports show raw timestamps converted to the institution's configured time zone for consistent reconciliation.

Platform role inventory

Roles are Learner, Instructor/Reviewer, CPL Administrator, Compliance Officer, and System Administrator. Permissions are cumulative across multiple role assignments.

Compliance Officer permissions

The Compliance Officer can view all completion and attestation reports but cannot edit course content, enroll learners, or change other users' roles.

Audit log contents

Audit logs capture administrative actions such as enrollments, overrides, and role changes, recording the actor, timestamp, and before/after values.

Browser support requirement

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari are supported. Outdated browsers can block assessment submission or hide interface elements.

Account lockout release

Repeated failed logins trigger a lockout that users cannot clear themselves. A CPL Administrator or the help desk releases the lock.

Accessibility preference storage

Keyboard navigation, screen-reader labels, adjustable text size, and video captions are available; chosen preferences save to the user profile across sessions.
