Took 6 Sophia Learning Courses in 2 months and passed them all, listing my thoughts
#5
If folks are thinking that COSC changes its policies based upon forum postings, I would be afraid. For the college. It should be researching courses and their level of difficulty and determining whether to accept them or not. Our views should be irrelevant as none of us (?) are college administrators.

In the brave new world (nothing to do with COVID-19) we live in, colleges are getting more selective about what will transfer. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the purpose of SARAs. ( SARA – the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement – is an agreement between member states, territories and districts of the United States of America. States apply to their relevant regional education compact for membership in SARA, and they agree to deal with the distance education offerings of out-of-state SARA-participating institutions in accord with SARA’s national policies, rather than applying the state-specific policies they used prior to joining SARA – policies they still apply to out-of-state institutions that do not participate in SARA.) It seems to me that if a school is regionally accredited, that should mean its courses are good to go. I wanted to take a course from a state whose out-of-state tuition was less than my in-state tuition, and the school told me I couldn't as it didn't have a SARA with my state. And my (current) plan is to get my degree from COSC, not a state school. Grr.
