Study.com price increase - bruh - 04-04-2023
Has anyone else noticed that Study.com's price has increased to $235? I saw that it was still $200 a few weeks ago. Darn. This was gonna be my first time getting college credit from SDC too, ahah. I wonder if extra proctored exams within a 1-month period are still $70. I just thought this was worth mentioning to the community just in case it hadn't been talked about already. Sorry if it's already been discussed elsewhere.

You can get $60+ off for the first 3 months using a discount code found here:

Pricing seemed to be inconsistent as far back as last June:

When I search it I see the same price I've seen since I first signed up in December 2021:

How much does the College Accelerator plan cost?
The College Accelerator plan costs $199.99 per month. Additionally, College Accelerator users can pause their account at anytime. [sic]
How many courses can I take to earn credit per month?
You can take as many courses as you'd like per month, but you can only take 2 proctored exams each month under the College Accelerator subscription. You can purchase up to 3 more exam attempts each month for $70 for each additional exam. This allows you to earn credit for up to 5 courses month.

Haha, weird, I just did a 'mock' signup and it's still the same $199 for me!
Anyone think this price increase is geared for specific States?

Ohh okay, some dots are connecting in my brain now. Perhaps it does vary by state. I'm in California. I'll have to test it out w/ a 'mock' sign-up of my own + maybe a VPN too someday. Thanks for the insight.
RE: Study.com price increase - Cofffeee - 04-04-2023
You should use vpn to get the best price which is ridiculous but its unfortunately reality
RE: Study.com price increase - smarterby1degree - 04-05-2023
Try clearing your cache (history). That usually works every time.
You can still use a 30% discount code: smarterby1degree (save $180 off your first 3 months- $139/mo instead of $199/mo)
Study is always trying out different prices to see if people will pay for them, that is all it is. Using a different device or browser works as well.

Yo wait what— I could've done that? It's okay/legit to just use a VPN, clear my cache, or change my device/browser? I already bought the membership though
Can I still do that? I've only done the placement test for Presentation Skills, so can I just get a refund since I haven't taken any proctored exams yet and then start over? Or if that doesn't work, then perhaps I'll delete my account instead. After that, I'll use a VPN/clear my cache/change my device or browser in order to get the lower price. Is this plan possible, or has this ship sailed already?

Email Study.com support and mention you forgot to enter in the referral code when signing up and you will be taking at least 3 months or more with them. I highly recommend the 3 month option with the discount unless you only need two courses from Study.com, do you have a degree plan and know the number of courses you'll take at Study.com?

Got it! I just sent the email to SDC support. I've already made my degree plan too*; I'm gonna be taking 10 courses thru them. I might only be using SDC for two months though. Am I able to use the discount for two months and then cancel before the third?
* It's available to see in my previous post :p
