Purdue Global: Free Courses for Covid-Impacted Workers
#21
I think people are mixing a few things up:

1) These are RA credits, not ACE-recommended, RA trumps ACE by a long shot so not sure why anyone is asking about ACE, it shouldn't even be in the realm of possibilities in this instance.

2) No school will every guarantee that their courses will transfer, ever. That's fine, you don't need a guarantee, you just need to choose wisely (and if you have space for Free Electives, you're almost assured that a course from an RA school will work, as long as it's not duplicating something you've already taken). ASU/EA offers plenty of courses with zero guarantees of transfer, but people are taking those like crazy.

3) No school will guarantee that any credits (even their own) will work in a degree even at their own school because they don't know what you already have. For example, if you are a business major and have all of your GE and Free Electives complete, you can take some random course at their school but there's nowhere to put it, so it won't be of use to you. You'll still get the credit, you just won't have anywhere to put it.

So I had signed up to be contacted but they hadn't called or emailed yet so I called Purdue. The first person had no idea what program I was referring to but she quickly found out and was able to transfer me to someone involved in the process. They are quite(understandably) inundated right now because it's such a good opportunity. The person I spoke to was incredibly helpful and worked with me to get all signed up and enrolled.

Anyone who's interested and eligible for this program, feel free to sign up and then reach out to them.

I signed up for the intro to cyber security course.

I think my son is going to do a free PG class - Strategic Communication for UL credits.

What's the format like? Real time? Papers? etc

I am on the fence as he already did SDC's Leadership Comm and they sound similar. https://study.com/academy/course/busines...ation.html.

Thanks!

This classes are free so I'd have him do one at least. When I talked with them on the phone they said it would be 10 weeks, there are live lectures but you can watch the recordings, weekly multiple choice quizzes, and other assignments. I don't think anyone here would have any additional experience since we only learned of the classes a few days ago.

If you want to do the class, you have to jump on it right now. The enrollment counselors are quite inundated and time is running out. Sign up for more information so that you automatically have a file and then if they don't call within a day I'd call them.

I've got an email from them today asking about my preferences.
I've picked HS305: Research Methods for Health Sciences - seems to be UL, no?

1 free course

So if you get one for free how much do they cost after you've used your one free?

The email I received from Purdue for this offer does say to choose 1 course from the list. Not self paced. June 10th is the next start date.
