Woohoo. Finally. Now I am really curious about how the process to actually get the certificate will go. I know no one knows. I have only done one course so far but I think I'll get back to it. I know they expected 100 million learners across the whole program. Very curious how many people finish all 5 grad courses.

I finished all 5 advanced courses and got the certificate. It was like this
For me, a transcript with credits for the courses is actually the cherry on the cake. According to the page, you need to apply to Thunderbird, finish a final project if admitted, and get evaluated before you can purchase an official transcript. But there is a problem with the application system now. I can't submit the form in the final step. The error message is like you can't apply in the undergraduate portal as you already have obtained a bachelor degree. However, the 100 ML portal does not lead you to the graduate school application platform. A dead end.
I have emailed the 100ML support team. no answer yet.

Congratulations! That was fast!

And thank you for sharing your experience so others know what to expect, and thank you for helping to fix the process for others!

This is great news. I’ll have to see if I can get some of these courses done in the next couple of months..

This is great, I wonder how it would transfer to anything if they get the certs and transcripts ready...

Does this result in real RA credit credit? How much college credit? and there a cost to convert to ASU credit?

Please let me know. I might be interested. But I want real RA grad credit but professional development stuff.

Yes, you can get real RA credit from ASU.  From what I understand, you have to apply to ASU and pay a fee to transcript it, but I don't know if anyone has reached that point yet to find out the fee.  It wasn't advertised other than being "nominal".  So maybe application and transcript costs?  It would be 15 credits.  It's an all-or-nothing kind of thing.

Likewise, I just finished up the last course.

To add on to what is being said above, there is a canvas module that you need to upload all of your "final projects" to, but, the last class does not have a final project loaded yet. After uploaded to each class module, it looks like there is a central module that you upload them all into where the "expert" will go in a grade/validate them. For my anyway, only three of the courses had "final projects" in the modules. My guess, based on what was listed below in the last module, is that they will be forming these up for submission by summer time.

The final project module in the last class says:

"If you're interested in earning academic credit for this experience, submitting this final project is required. If not, and you're only taking this course for a certificate of completion or professional development, please consider the final project optional.

Note: Academic Credit for all Advanced Courses will be enabled by Summer 2024.

Project instructions will be made available soon."
