Up to 6 FREE credits from Troy University - rachel83az - 06-29-2022

Deadline to enroll is July 10th. Non-degree-seeking students are eligible to obtain credit. You must pass a challenge exam to receive credit. I do not know how transferable these are, but they're free.

These look like some very useful personal development classes too.

Thanks for posting these! I am forwarding them to a bunch of people I know.

My first impulse is to say, "Hey kids, guess what you're doing this summer?"
Although... has anyone actually confirmed that these courses are transferrable? The term "challenge exam" to describe the way one earns credit at the end of the course is a little disconcerting.

ASU has accepted LDR 1100 for elective credit at least once since Fall 1999. Nothing for FIN 2210 in ASU's database: https://webapp4.asu.edu/transfercreditguide/app/searchcourses

It depends on how it's transcripted. Strayer challenge exams are accepted at TESU, but it's a huge hassle to do so.

Since these are intro courses, I wonder if these challenge exams are like TECEPS or UEXCELS... I am thinking they're more like those Sophia.org exams (open book, non-proctored). We'll find out, I haven't signed up just yet...
