I paid so that I could take two college credit classes with Study.com in a monthly period and am hoping I didn't shoot myself in the foot in the process. My term ends on October 15, and I still have to finish my papers and pray that they are graded in time for me to be able to cancel before getting billed for another $200 month!
If I were to finish all my work before the 15th, but my papers weren't graded yet, what would happen? Could I still receive my grade and request a transcript after that time? If everything is graded and my classes are officially over, but I didn't get to request the transcript, or it didn't go through yet. Am I too late to do it then without paying again?
Also, what are your experiences with grading and waiting times in regard to papers, etc?
Thanks!

As long as they are submitted prior to the end of month you should be fine. If you did well on the exam(s), and you're confident you submitted a passing paper(s) you can request ACE credit right after you submit the final assignment. (I have always submitted to ACE based on the date of Exam)

Everything Allvia said. Also, the papers may take a week or so to grade, so as long as they are submitted before your subscription ends, you are fine. The same thing happened to me. I just sent them an email a week or 2 later to remind them and they sent me the results of my papers via email.

I was going to take Principles of Marketing and American Government at Study.com. Does anyone know if any papers have to be written for either of those classes?

Not likely, since those are LL courses.

Thanks, everyone! This make me feel a whole lot better.
How do you find the grading for the papers to be? Fair, strict?

It seemed a little lenient for the most part. You will have completely different graders each time, though so who knows. It shouldn't be too hard to write a passable paper.

Ughhh...I need to vent about this! (Can't find the rules for post etiquette, so I'm hoping this is appropriate. Don't worry, I won't swear.)
I wrote and submitted a paper for the assignment due in my Communications 301 class. I have NEVER, in the history of all of my schooling, received anything less than an A- on a paper of any kind. I mention that NOT to brag, but to indicate my dedication to following instructions precisely and anal-retentively on these things. I am not a natural test taker, but I can usually write papers without much headache. I got it back within an hour of submission. I got a 59/100.
Let me just express how unnecessarily confusing the instructions and parameters were for this paper. In fact, everything about it was nightmarish. I purposely "cut the cord" with two questions for time purposes, so I knew I wouldn't receive full credit on those. I am good and irritated about the rest of the questions, though. There was nothing in the instructions about not inserting my own experiences or opinions. Without this, the paper would've been 100% citation! Well, I guess this is what I should have done since there were problems with anything I wrote that didn't contain a name or page number. Also, I lost points for not using headings in the paper. I guess I forgot to ask my Magic 8 Ball about this since it wasn't contained in the directions either.
I do not have time to revise this paper and will have to live with the score. Pretty sure I can get as low as 51 on the final exam and still receive my college credit. I will chose to use this as a learning experience for my next (and final) two papers due for Study.com.
Thanks for reading this novel. These things seem to type themselves after my "Marathon of Papers" this week.
