Saylor Expired Courses

[AllThose299s]

It is really interesting. In ACE, they added a few new courses, as well, including a UL "Software engineering" course! Could be a good way to get a few cheap tech credits.

This is NOT an UL course.  It transfers in as LL to TESU.

ACE considered it a LL course from 12/1/2016 - 11/30/2019 & changed it to be considered UL from 1/1/2021 - 12/31/2023. I'm not sure if anyone has completed it this year and transferred it to TESU to see if they consider it UL as ACE does... Knowing TESU.... probably not, but I guess we will have to wait and see.

Although the Saylor Direct Credit page has not been updated, the ACE guide shows that all of the expired Saylor courses have been renewed or extended except software engineering. This opens up a lot of credit opportunities again.

The problem is... if Saylor didn’t update their site, i don’t know how you would set up the test...

Good point. I looked at a few of the courses themselves and the credit exam option is not appearing. I'll try to ask them about it.

Saylor courses are continuing to be renewed, extended, or reapproved. All of the ACE endorsements set to expire on May 31 were pushed out to July 31. 
The credit exam appears to be available now for some, but not all, of the renewed courses.

Any chance these expired courses will be coming back on? Is this in-process or are these dead forever, or do we not know yet?

We don't know but it is very very very likely to go through the renewal process.

I agree with jsd, it may be in the process already. Having said that, if you're really wanting to get some courses done and looking at the cheaper end of the spectrum, the bulk of those are available on Sophia.org and other inexpensive providers we recommend such as Study.com

For example, pretend all 15 or so you mentioned there is available at Sophia.org, for $99/month and you cramming them 1 by 1 since they're non-proctored, you may be able to finish all 15 in the month. That's just $99! If you use Saylor, it's $5 each, you're paying $25 less but the course material isn't that great, with broken links and all. For the extra cash it takes, you save your neurons in the long run!

I haven't seen Saylor's Python course, but I can highly recommend https://www.py4e.com/ as a study resource for anyone who wants to get this credit.

WOW, that as fast for a renewal! Hmm, anyways, carry on... get them credits while it's inexpensive and will go towards your degree or school of choice.
