TESU/Study.com tuition discount going away July 1, 2020

[mudd3.0]

Hey, all, please let me first state that you are an awesome group, and I have greatly appreciated and profited from all the time and advice folks have so generously shared.  Having said that, I will try to post helpful things in the future to return the blessing.

Here's my question:

Has anyone noticed the Notice on TESU's website announcing a big change in the Study.com-TESU affiliate program?  Apparently, if you are have not checked off the "Study.com Affiliate" box on your application BEFORE JULY 1, 2020, you will no longer be able to receive the SDC discount on tuition.  In other words, the SDC tuition discount will no longer be available after July 1, 2020.  The tuition discount is substantial!

So, I have a question out to SDC to confirm the details of how this plays out.  I'd be happy to share what they say.

In the meantime, does anyone know more details on how the affiliate program works, in terms of what it would take to make sure that when my folks apply to TESU this month, they can lock in the discount?

Do you have to have a certain number of classes COMPLETED at SDC to be able to "check the box" on the TESU application?  Is it adequate to just be enrolled in SDC's College Accellerator Subscription to qualify?  My plan was to have folks take several UL courses at SDC, but perhaps we should just look at Coopersmith or DAVAR, if we are already going to be stuck without a SDC tuition discount.

I'm trying to pin down these details, especially since the deadlines are fast approaching.  Any insights would be appreciated!

Thanks!
