outlier increasing price in 7 days - sialiblo - 10-06-2022
Just got email from outlier, the price $400/course won't last much longer, the price will be increased by almost $200 at midnight 10/13.

Hmm... I guess for those of you who want to use their system and need the specific courses that they offer, can you just sign up and take the courses at a later date? If you can, can't you just sign up for say 3-4 courses that you want and reap the lower price for now?

I guess you can think of it as having credits that can be redeemed for a different course.
I am a little surprised though, that they're raising prices so soon, since I thought it was rather appropriate that they were similarly priced to ASU's EA/ULC courses.

It looks like Outlier is turning out to be "Not so affordable"

Hah! So, I was right! Go through their courses and see which ones are needed in your degree plan or ones that you really want to take, if you have a course or two, order the course before the price change and then do the course when you have the energy/time to get it done...

That STILL doesn't say what the new pricing will be. How about a little transparency already?!? Grrr

Right now, they're $400. But they're increasing by "nearly" $200. I'm guessing that outlier will now be $595, $598, or $599. Those are good marketing numbers.

Did not receive any such email..
I think it could be a marketing email to push students to enroll quickly ?
But if they increase to $600+
Than their are many other excellent options too i think.
