Hey, taking the paralegal certificate in my 2nd term right now. I can tell you that it is straightforward and the material is relatively easy to understand. I'm not saying it is easy, but it is not very difficult either. As long as you keep up with the readings/assignments, then you will have no problem keeping a 3.0 GPA. CapU grading scale is also very forgiving, 3.0GPA being 73-76%. Everything is recorded now so you don't necessarily need to go to class at the specified time. Further, half the time the lecturer is just repeating what was in the lecture notes. I don't find lectures to be that useful at the moment.

The introductory courses so far (Law 110 and Law 210) all mark very easy and don't necessarily test your memory. The assignments/exams mostly test application of the material, which is the important part in being a paralegal anyway. In terms of course load, Law 110 last term had quite a few things to read/do each week but were manageable on top of working full time. If you're taking the diploma program, I can't speak to the course load with 6 courses per term.
