Are these courses graded, or just Pass/Fail? Does anyone know if there's the option to request a paper transcript through this program?

You can request a transcript if you complete all the classes for a small fee.  They did not say what that fee would be.  And you can only request it if you have a B or better.

I think originally they said they'd launch the next course in June and subsequent courses ever 2 months after that but that doesn't appear to have happened yet. I'm still keeping my eye on the program to see if there are any updates.

Thanks for the Head ups, I'll keep an eye out as well!

On that note, just for those that began the first course, how's that going for you?

I put the first course aside for a bit because my “real” classes started.  However, I think it might have helped me get prepared.  I’ve moved back to doing the bootcamp first.  This way I get a little sampling of everything.  I’ll probably have that finished up in a few days… cuz I want a shiny new badge. LOL  

I was initially frustrated with Canvas because I had some weird navigation issues, but I found that Canvas for my iPad is even better than the web version - at least for most of the bootcamp.

This might have been addressed already, but can you do the Bootcamp route, then go back and complete the Intermediate or Master path? Or do you just get one option for pathways overall?

I'm fairly certain you can do them all if you want. So starting with the boot camp path may help you build up to the graduate level courses.
