Yeah failing courses is not a good thing on a transcript. With Sophia if you drop the course, it doesn't appear on the transcript which is nice.
You cannot compare RA courses to Sophia/ACE.

Where did I say RA courses are anything like Sophia or ACE? I never said such a thing.

This post is about RA credits, and then you started saying to use Sophia courses instead.

No, I did not say to use Sophia instead. I said it was nice that Sophia doesn't include a dropped course on a transcript. It's rare that dropped courses don't appear on a transcript from any source.

It's rare that dropped courses from a college don't appear on a transcript. It is NOT at all rare that dropped ACE courses don't appear on a transcript.

Can mods please edit the title of this thread to take out the "self paced" part? I corrected myself a few posts down but I think taking it out of the title would help avoid some future confusion as people refer to this thread in the future.

Sounds good. I took a several month break from this forum during that time so I missed it.
Hopefully they continue to add useful courses to their catalog. Preferably ones that can help for grad school admissions.

Just an update; I found their drop and withdrawal policies.
Drop: https://outlierorg.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/...g-a-course
Withdrawal: https://outlierorg.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/...IER-COURSE-
What does it mean to drop a course?
Dropping a course is defined as exiting a course before that course’s Drop deadline. There is no academic record, and you will be eligible for a full refund or the option to use the purchase amount towards enrolling in a future Outlier course.
What does it mean to Withdraw from a course?
A Withdrawal is defined as exiting a course after the Drop deadline and before the Withdraw deadline. This is different from dropping a course, as you will receive a "W" on your transcript from the University of Pittsburgh. Withdrawals do not affect your GPA, but they do count towards the number of credits attempted.
How does withdrawing from a course affect my Outlier account?
After the Withdraw deadline, students will receive a letter grade for the course.
