I've heard from others that I should sign up with Peace Officers Association of Georgia (POAG) to get a discount on my enrollment fee. I went to the website to join but I can't get the Associate Membership form. I've emailed them so I'll see how long that's gonna take. It's only $25 bucks which isn't bad.
You don't need any special form from POAG, and it is only $20 if you have paypal. I joined them 10 minutes before I submitted my EC enrollment form. (You must fax the EC enrollment form, since the online form does not know about discounts). Just write POAG in the membership area, write in $150, and put your visa card number on the form, then fax it. Be bold about it, let them tell them you can't have it.
If they have any questions about it, ask them to contact POAG, since they have some sort of partnership. I am sure that POAG will vouch that you are a new associate member. You get a really nice dime-store laminated card, with your name typed on it, in a few days time, along with a really nice 10 cent sticker for your car. My dillemma is whether to put the POAG sticker on my corvette or my minivan.
Like has been mentioned before, unless you plan on taking 3 or more EC courses online, it is really a payment deferral method. You will probably have to make the the difference when you graduate. Pay later is always better for me!
