Has anyone noticed any trends about how often and what time of year Sophia releases new courses? I really wish they had American Government and Spanish 1. Would make life easier.

Would make life easier.I agree. I even wrote to them. They just sent me some generic email about keep checking back because they release new ones all the time which was no help at all. I wish I knew too. I know that the last new courses were released @ July 30th.

I understand it maybe cheaper/easier/faster to get everything in that monthly membership with Sophia. But since those two courses are already available on InstantCertCredit, I wouldn't even bother waiting, just get it done and you get to support this board. Each course would only cost you $20+15 proctor fee for American Government and also Spanish 1.

That's the issue. I can't wait much longer. If they're not available on Sophia by the winter break - the week before Christmas - then I'm out of luck. I am willing to try ICC but I don't know if they'll transfer. I KNOW Sophia transfers and what UMPI accepts from Sophia.

Tell UMPI everything you wanted to ask about acceptance of ICC's courses. The main thing you want to let them know is that, both are ACE recommended for credit such as Study.com/StraighterLine, it's just that the courses at StriaghterLine are over $229/course for Spanish I and Spanish II...

I was planning on asking next week once the new term starts. It's a little crazy this week. If they won't accept ICC, then I may take government at SL because I know they accept SL. I will take French or Spanish at UMPI. French was already offered and Spanish is supposed to come online this next term. ICC doesn't have an oral component which is very attractive to me. They do offer government, but if I don't have to write a 10+ page paper, I'd rather not. It's not my favorite subject so I know I will procrastinate.

Just to let you know the CLEP for American Government is very easy especially if you already took American History, and it would be free through Modern States. The Spanish CLEP I had a friend try. She had taken a lot of Spanish, and she passed it, but it was very difficult. If you have had a lot of Spanish, it can be done, and it is free if the testing place is close to you.

CLEP centers have been closed here since mid March and aren't anticipated to reopen until at least January due to COVID. They're all located on college campuses an hour plus away. Those campuses are closed to the public. Some have even closed to students and they were sent home. It's been oodles of fun here! LOL
