Sophia not more than 2 courses at the same time even waiting for grading - Kab - 08-11-2025
So Sophia is getting a new rule (help representative informed me). No more extra courses if you are waiting for grading in your 2 courses. Now you have to sit on your hands. For example English composition II is just wonderful now.
So... go to the new straighter line offer or to Study.com that have better politics (my humbleopinion)... is your choice. Unless you want to do courses without touchstones.
The rule started on August 4 2025 for what they told me.
Remember: If in 48 hours there is no grading contact support.... yeahhh...

Hmm, oh well, someone was asking for too much, I mean... asking for one extra course should be alright, but asking for 4-5 or more was a bit of a stretch. Hopefully, it's a soft rule where you can petition or ask for an additional class. But as I mentioned before, there are ways to circumvent from this issue, resourcefully plan your classes in a specific order you want to do things, then make sure 1 class doesn't have assignments/touchstones open. Usually, if you're doing one class at a time, this shouldn't be an issue as you're waiting for grading on a class, and you work on the second class. It's rare you would need a third class, unless both classes are waiting for grading still...

I would do Workplace Writing II over English Comp II anyway.
