You must pay by end of the year or the rate goes back up to $400. Fall B (oct-dec) courses are not currently included. Self paced courses must be done before end of the year too. They’re charging $400 and then refunding $301 to make self paced $99 too. Weird but it’s how they said they’re doing it.

I noticed they added a few new options since I looked a few weeks ago.

Do you know if it works for the 15 week courses that start in August (through December)?

The programming course is looking very tempting...

You’d have to call and ask. They only told me summer and Fall A terms.

I called them today and they said as long as I'm enrolled before August 25 I will be good to go. The class starts a week before. Hopefully they don't try to reneg on that.

I hope the info you received was correct, but I fear it may not be. The programming course has a TBD for the price. I talked to Natalie at ASU again today and she said anything with a TBD is under discussion for pricing. She hoped to have more solid information by Friday, since there are two meetings discussing the program and pricing this week. We may see a pricing change on those soon.

Things have been changing rapidly (usually to our benefit) with these courses and everyone from the help desk is working from home due to Covid, so communication to everyone has been a bit sketchy lately, resulting in some miscommunications. I posted about the $99 extension in several Facebook groups last week and have been putting out fires from miscommunications from the help desk ever since. ??‍♀️ I’m gonna have to start billing them for my time. Anyway, I suggest calling back later in the week or early next week, if the website hasn’t updated the cost. And know there’s a decent chance it could be more than $99, and a possibility it could be less than $400.

Also, she asked me to convey to people to call the EA help desk, linked on the EA Contact Us page, not the main ASU line. The EA folks are the ones to ask.

And an update to my previous post. The self paced ENG101 course ends 8/31, not in December like the self paced maths. I do not know if they’ll offer a Fall self-paced option or not, but there is a teacher-led one starting 8/18.

The ones I checked seem to be $99 as long as the start date is before 8/25. Self paced Algebra & has to be transcripted by 8/25 to be $99. The self paced composition course is open for enrollment until 7/31 @ $99, and must be completed by 8/30.

Good catch! It looks like they updated it all earlier today to help clarify. Now if only I can get them to respond to my help desk ticket since it won't let me use my login credentials....

Yup, and a bunch of us were told self paced courses would be $99 until December. I’m going to call and ask if they’ll honor the original deal for those already enrolled, like my son. We will see!

I did notice that the 15 week programming course landed at $99. I guess bc it’s the only 15 week that starts before 8/25. They had been saying 15 week was not included when I’ve called, so that’s good!

It is unlikely someone took both.
