Free CUNY 1-credit course - “Bridges to Health Careers/Emerging Trend in Healthcare”

[ctcarl]

This appears to be the last offering for this course in 2021.  It's four weeks, starting July 5.  But it's a completely free, 1-credit online course from CUNY!

Awesome find! I love intro courses, especially if they provide credit...

I couldn't see if it was graded or not, any idea?

It's pass/fail for anyone else who was wondering.

I was in the last cohort for this. It was pretty interesting I liked reading the articles, but I missed all of the zoom(it was called something else) meetings due to work, but it was still good. Hopefully they do this or something similar again.

I was also in the last cohort. I did kind of participate in at least some of the zoom sessions. Currently, I'm trying to figure out how to access my academic record and send TESU a transcript. My blackboard login info doesn't work for the CUNYfirst portal, and none of the account recovery or activation options work for me either. I went ahead and ordered an electronic transcript via their Credentials-Solutions/Parchment portal, so we'll see how that goes. It cost about $10.

I haven't thought about that yet. I wonder how TESU will take it.

Update: my transcript order was cancelled with the registrar comment "No record found" and supposedly I won't be charged for it.
Seems that this course isn't on my academic record. Per the course team's email on August 8, they would be processing the free 1 credit in the coming weeks. I don't know if they're still working on it or if there is some other issue.

Would it have to come from the Kingsborough side of things?

Long shot request: would anyone happen to have a copy of the PDF flyer for this program, EmergingTrendsHealthcare.PDF from way back in 2021?
The original link no longer works, the only copy in the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine is corrupt, and I don't have a copy in my archives. I have since learned my lesson about saving copies of course documentation, but I can't go into the past and grab this one.
Long story short, KBCC/CUNY reneged on the "free credit" part of this offer and added a bunch of conditions that were not disclosed at all until after you completed the program. MSCHE just got back to me requesting additional evidence and updates for its investigation. I have a copy of the program intro presentation slides, along with all of my emails regarding it. If anyone has any other items which I don't, please let me know.
