I worked a job where I got a free course with them. I did it and it was horrible. Course was not good quality and did not transfer to CC, 4 yr UNI or TESU. (Transferred to all but only as free elective despite course number and name supposedly seeming like it would work). I had more than enough free electives. By the time I figured this out I was informed if I dropped the class I'd have to pay the full tution. So I stuck it out and did the bare minmum work since there was not point and somehow failed despite I should have gotten a C- according to my calculations but I didn't care or want to deal with the horrible communciation. And not mention in order to take the free course I had to meet with an enrollment and listen to them pitch me how it would "only" be $30k to finish my bachelors. I was told I first person they ever heard of to only do the free course. Apprarently others had done the course but took a larger load (ex 3 courses but only had to pay for 2 cause first one is free). They never heard of a case like me so they werent willing to help me that much.
I never paid a dime for the course. But now I have to $20 everytime I appy for any grad school or more undergrad fo comply with clearing house standards to send a pointless 3cr F grade.
Thanks for the heads up. I am sure it is the same school. I did check with my advisor to see if the course would transfer, and they said that it would. I also was honest with the enrollment guy at "D." I told him that I am in an MBA program, and when I saw the opportunity to take a free course, I thought it could be beneficial. He didn't make any indication that it was unusual. When enrolling, he said I did have to pick "something" to enroll as a student. He seems to understand that I am most likely going to be "one and done."
I am curious about the full tuition if you dropped. Was that after a certain date? I don't recall that information being shared with me. My class will start on May 1st. The syllabus is supposed to be available two weeks prior to that - which is when I will be able to compare it to the equivalent course better.
