It all boils down to reviewing your options, take the class from ASU for $25 plus $15 transcript if you need the graded credit, it's just 1 credit so it's not going to make much of a dent in bumping up your GPA. Decide on other classes that may help you with your credits or if you need graded credits, etc. I would review advice, posts, threads, WIKI just to make sure you have info on possible paths to complete the requirements of whichever degree you're looking to complete.

Section "How it works": Step 4, "Get Academic Credit": "The first course, Business Technology Fundamentals, has the fee waived!"
Also a comment from the support page on that course: "Once completed and as this is a 1 credit course, you will need to wait about 2 weeks before you can convert to credit", so do not expect to get it very fast.
Yep, that course has the $400 fee waived. So it's still $25, plus the cost of transcripts.
The comment isn't wrong, but not quite correct either. That is, it
usually takes 1-2 days to finish the course. 3-5 business days for the final grade to post. Then up to 8-12 hours for the "transcript this course" link to appear. The transcription link usually appears immediately, but there have been occassional glitches.

I apologize for not being here in a while. I am disabled and suffer from a great many health issues. I did manage to get the ASU credit and the Pierpont degree. Thank you all so much!
