Still waiting to receive the final email about getting started, but can someone give me more information on this. I know I'll get the Finance course for free and have 3 months of the college accelerator. However, after completing the Finance course will I have to pay more to get additional courses during the 3 months or just pay a testing fee? I've saw conflicting details all around it seems. Thanks for those that provide any input.

Once you get the email saying you have the scholarship you will be given a code. It will unlock your account for three months and you'll have instant access to all courses and two exams every month for three months.
For example, if you got the email today, you would have access from 2/10 until 3/9. On 3/10 you would have two more exams unlock and on 4/10 you would get your final two exams unlocked.
Your account expires at the end of the three months. You would have access to test on six courses during that three months (so about one course every two weeks). There are no additional fees - no cost for the exams either. They don't even take your credit card information when you get access to the site.
Just a note, you have to finish the Personal Finance course and test on it before you can start working on any other course.

Another note...if your account says you have access "until May 9th" it really means your account ends on May 8th. So don't wait to finish until the last day your account says or you will be out of luck. I was a bit confused by the wording but thankfully I finished everything the day before my account ended. When I went to check my account on the last day listed, it was gone.

This is great news. So it seems I'll be able to complete the Personal Finance course along with 5 other courses it sees? Hopefully here shortly I can list my evaluation on here again and see what the experts might see as the best use for the 5 remaining classes.
Edited to add, this class does fulfill the Principles of Finance needed for the Business degree correct or am I wrong?

Did they fix the exam dates again? When I was on the scholarship it was 30days AFTER a test I got another test. Until they did something and made the remainder of my tests all available at once. I sure hope they did fix it do that you get them every 30days and not 30days after each test.

I see now that I'll need to take the FIN 101 they offer after this FIN 102 to knock out Principles of Finance for the TESU degree.

Nope, this course is a Free Elective only, doesn't count as any kind of business course, unfortunately.

The FIN 101 or FIN 102?

Hi all! Just jumping in to clarify. We did change the exam scheduling. You now receive 2 exams every 30 days, and your schedule is tied to your start (or registration) date, not when you take an exam.
