1 Free Course at UPI Study (Code: FREECOURSE) & Discount $450 Lifetime Plan Ends 9/7 - Captainrekt000 - 09-04-2026

I just got an email about this. UPI Study launched four new ACE- and NCCRS-recommended courses and sent out a promo code for Labor Day weekend.

Use promo code FREECOURSE at checkout to claim one free course out of these four new additions. Only one can be redeemed per account with the code.

 I successfully signed up for the American Literature course using this code.


The offer expires after Labor Day weekend on Monday, September 7, 2026.

They are also running a Labor Day discount on their unlimited lifetime access plan, bringing it down from $599 to $450 with no recurring renewal fees (No code Needed).

Excellent! I signed up for the American Literature course, though I'm having "buyer's" remorse for not going with the Chem Lab. Then again, I could just do it through Sophia or SDC

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m going to sign up for a free course just so I can see what the platform is like. I was originally looking at Sophia learning for my son to try, but I think this would be so much better since they are more video based rather than just straight reading, and I like a Lifetime option for someone who doesn’t really know what they want yet

Hmm, they're adding 20 classes, but your list has 17. I wonder if the other freebie classes would add to that list...

RE: 1 Free Course at UPI Study (Code: FREECOURSE) & Discount $450 Lifetime Plan Ends 9/7 - Captainrekt000 - 09-08-2026

EDIT: They just sent an email today, 9/8/26, and made 2 more courses free for 2 more days

Both with the code FREECOURSE when you're signing in to your UPI account.

English Composition 1  https://www.upistudy.com/courses/english-composition-1

English Composition 2 https://www.upistudy.com/courses/english-composition-2

I was able to sign up for English Composition 1, English Composition 2, and American Literature all for free. 

If these courses go well, I might be more incentivized to pay the $450 for lifetime ACE/NCCRS courses.

Love this idea. According to their terms and services, a person must be " at least 18 years of age, or if under 18, have the express consent of a parent or legal guardian"

At the $450 lifetime price point, this is unheard of. The TESU equivalency sheet shows about 153 credits that can be transferred to TESU (filtering for unique credits and ones with the VERIFIED BY TESU tag) 
https://www.upistudy.com/pages/tesu

For Example: A student taking doing the TESU COS degree can potentially take the following computer science/information technology/math related courses for transfer (78 Credits ) 

[*]BUS-2100 Quantitative Skills for Business (3)
[*]CAP-1700 Computing Environments (3)

RE: 1 Free Course at UPI Study (Code: FREECOURSE) & Discount $450 Lifetime Plan Ends 9/7 - Maniac Craniac - 09-09-2026

I went to town trying to apply the promo code to every single course. I was only allowed to apply it to Art History I and II, and American Literature.

Very strange how everyone is getting different results, but this comes with a bit of good news. You can enroll in more than one free course, and the previoulsy unlisted Art History II is also available (for some people, some of the time????).

I'm disappointed that the courses I was most interested in were not available, but I enjoy art and literature, so I'm overall thrilled with the freebie. Thanks for sharing!
