Sophia Changes Registration Policy
#1
Tried to add courses to my son's account for the future dates and was told "Pre-registration is no longer available. If you start the course and don't get finished by the End Dates, you can always contact us and we can offer you a 30-day extension."

So basically whenever I added a course, its start date was today. I couldn't change that.

Although I would have liked to have added those courses for free for a future start, I really can't complain about Sophia and will forever grovel at their feet for this amazing deal we have had!!

I am about a quarter way thru the Sopia courses, for whatever reason, while telling myself I have time so why was I, I literally registered and scheduled out all the courses spread between now and mid August over the weekend. I had a feeling I needed to, and sorta felt that maybe it would help keep me motivated, but mostly it was a feeling that I had to schedule them out. I am very glad upon reading this that i did.
DBA Student at South College starting in October 2022, Target finish date May 2024

Certificate for the Study of Capitalism at University of Arkansas finished July 2022

MBA with Hellenic American University started March 29th, 2021 , finished May 20th 2022, Graduated in June 2022

BSBA at Thomas Edison State University started May 21st 2020 with Sophia and SDC, finished Jan 24th, 2021, Graduated on 12 March of 2021

Total time to complete both degrees 2 years exactly, total cost just a small bit over $10,000

Thanks Degreeforum!

Most likely. It does affect people’s timelines and gives them less time than they anticipated.

You had me scared for a moment there. It's actually up until August 1. I just checked the site again to be sure.
