I think it's more likely to be a sale of some sort since the email continues with: "Tomorrow, we’ll share some news that’ll make Sophia your back to school an even more powerful way to save time and money on your degree — and make this your best back-to-school season yet."
In any case, we'll find out in less than a day.

I agree it's most likely some sort of sale or possibly a new or stronger partnership with one or more colleges. This is purely speculation, though.

Or maybe they plan to offer a new service such as tutoring. Hmm.
Speculation so far
1. Back-to-school sale
2. UL credits
3. New service
Place your bets.

Shhhh. Don’t look now, but Sophia Learning is about to make a big announcement that could help you have the best back-to-school season ever. We can’t tell you what it is… yet. But we’re pretty sure you’re going to love it.
Check back on August 16 to get the details. https://bit.ly/3SPh37y

At around midnight, Sophia started showing a banner for 25% off your first month. If that's all it is, they really over-hyped the whole thing. $75 for your first month isn't bad, but they've done better in the past.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA
Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

LOL, yeah. It is the first thing I see on their website this morning before signing in.
Back to School Savings: Sign up for a new monthly subscription and get 25% off your first month. Just use code BTS22 by Sept 15th.

Let's hope I pass on the first try! <crossing fingers>
Did you end up passing Calc 1 on Sophia and did it transfer to TESU?

Quick question - did anyone manage to successfully transfer the class to UMPI? Or anyone planning to in the near future? Thanks!
