I don't see it in the list of courses I can add... hopefully it'll come out sooner rather than later... so I can complete them before the yearly membership runs out!

It usually takes a few days after it appears on ACE's website before it is available to take on Sophia's website.

I decide to contact Sophia and they said that the course will be available in May.
they reply me this
"Yes let me check with my academic team to see when it will be available.
So they believe it will be available next month in May"


RE: New Sophia course as of 4/1/21 - bjcheung77 - 04-08-2021

Awesome, I was thinking at the end of the month. I hope they come out with more before my yearly membership expires in November.

RE: New Sophia course as of 4/1/21 - rachel83az - 04-14-2021

This one is much, MUCH better than the Web Design one. At first glance, I dare say that it might even be better than Database Management 303 at SDC. It's a shame that this is just a LL course.


RE: New Sophia course as of 4/1/21 - TINASAM - 04-14-2021

Another new one is Live too!!

Awesome! Added them to the wiki. Hopefully, TESU transfers these new courses in.


RE: New Sophia course as of 4/1/21 - eriehiker - 04-14-2021

Ah man. At the end of last year, I had to choose between the cheap one year subscription and the free three month subscription. I choose the three free months and it looks like I should have bought the year. Hehe.
