Free Winter term for Sophia members, Strayer U

[Goldilocks!]

ylmir - They mentioned that books are included in the free term, so that's excellent! The bookstore tells me I have a limit to spend on books. It also looks like you can purchase additional items like calculators, flash drives, and writing resources. If your course needs an access code to Wiley, ALEKS, etc., these are also purchased through the bookstore which is nice. You can also use their cost calculator to see what materials are required for other classes (since it preloads your courses). That could come in handy if you want to study for a challenge exam.

It also looks like I can just register for challenge exams and they use ProctorU. I read on their message boards that they recommend discussing challenge exams with your coach first, but it doesn't seem to be a requirement. They have a pretty active message board community.

There are also quite a few upcoming webinars about getting started and being successful, a new student checklist, and a self-paced orientation.

Rachel - I think I filled out the forms from the email they sent me. Then an advisor emailed me (along with some spam-y looking emails). I replied and that got the ball rolling. They'll send you some Docusign forms to fill out. They didn't notify me about my transfer credits, but once you are enrolled you can see them on your profile.
