Has anyone gotten through the process to sign up yet? Are they requiring the full admissions process? ie sending all transcripts, or can you just sign up to take it like ASU?

Just a form and a couple phone calls. Also, I have to take a short orientation class.

I ended up calling today after a few days of submitting my info. Overall took about 3 phone calls and a couple of emails to get it finalized. I'm taking the Intro to Cybersecurity
Purdue University Global also just released a free contact tracing course. It is not worth and credit, but it will cost $295 later in the summer. It is currently free and might be a nice test run for anyone considering other courses at Purdue Global:

I was thinking of taking the Introduction to Data Literacy course to help prepare for the SOS-110: Critical Information Literacy/Capstone which I plan to take together.
Anyone know the cost to send a transcript from Purdue to TESU?

Probably not much. If you're still on the fence, you're running out of time because you must enroll by June 3 for a course that starts by June 10.

Are these for a grade or pass/fail? I'm already doing SDC, tecep, sophia and SL. I'd hate to tank my already-not-great GPA if I end up doing badly.
But also if I could bump up my GPA... hmm. Goal: Anything. Just need the paper.

Do you actually have to talk to them on the phone to sign up? I put in my information and all I got was an email saying I should pick a course. I don't like answering calls from numbers I don't know; it's usually a scam or a telemarketer. If they've been calling, they haven't bothered to leave any messages.

Mind's like a sieve, but I think you have to speak to them on the 'phone. My caller ID said "Purdue," so I answered. An orientation course (library info & quiz, introductory post, SHORT writing exercise to be uploaded, and... I forget) which includes a one-hour seminar must be completed before starting the course.

I just signed up for CM460: Strategic Communication, and they called within 5 minutes of me submitting the form. My cell caller ID said Orlando, if that helps. They asked what course I wanted to sign up for, then sent me a link telling me to complete the first part of an online form with my personal information and then to reply to an e-mail saying I had done so. They did that while I was on the phone with them. They said they would be sending me a second form to sign and send back, which has not arrived yet. Pretty awesome turnaround for a free RA course. I'm digging the customer service so far. So, they are still accepting sign-ups as of ten minutes ago. They did tell me I was just in time because the final day to sign-up is Wednesday. If you need/want to take one of these courses I would get signed up now. And as I was about to hit reply I got the e-mail with a link to the document for my electronic signature. The whole process was quick and painless. Not sure they could have made it any easier.
