Guess it just doesn't like me. I'm still getting the, "This code is not valid" message.

Worked for me last night. Signed up for Visual Communications. Really like their structure so far. I enjoy learning from videos; it gives me a nice break from all the reading I'm used to.

PaintTheSunset Wrote:Hi Everyone,
There's a discussion on this at http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...ement.html , but I wanted to make a new thread to ensure it doesn't get overlooked by anyone who may be interested. Forum member Passit1 was exploring Sophia Learning, and found an awesome deal.
Sophia Learning has a coupon code for a FREE course. It says it's valid for the first 500 people only, and expires March 31st. The catch is that Capella University will try to recruit you to enroll with them. The coupon code is CB2014 . The details are available at https://onlinecourses.sophia.org/home .
Sophia Learning is sort of like StraighterLine, in the sense that they're not an actual college but offer online courses for college credit. However, their usual price is much higher than StraighterLine, or Penn Foster, or many of the other credit sources frequently mentioned on this forum.
The list of ACE credit-recommended courses is available at ACE CREDIT | The National Guide to College Credit for Workforce Training . Even with the course being free, you'll still need to pay for the ACE transcript. I enrolled in the Project Management course, and was able to begin the course immediately. Purchasing a textbook was neither needed nor even suggested; their materials are all on their website. It's quick, too; I'm already half way through the course.
If you're willing to put up with some recruitment efforts from Capella in order to save money on tuition, then this is an option to consider. Thanks so much for this! We already took advantage. A good way to fill an elusive communication elective for the BA in Communications.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

If you are enrolled in a US based university is that sufficient to proof you are a US resident 
But seriously how are they verifying if someone is a US resident?

But seriously how are they verifying if someone is a US resident? Probably when they try to call you and you have an international #. Or maybe your IP address you log in with, if they really are bothering to check.

Calling from a US based number is not too hard I do it all the time. Cloaking IP again is also easy to do ala VPN, proxy.

Phone number was optional, and therefore not filled out on my application.
I would recommend this, I hate getting calls from sales folks.

There is a proctored identification exam at the end of the course (not sure about English)
The ID Verification Milestone is 25 questions you previously answered to verify your identity. We use a third-party online proctoring partner for this Milestone. Youâll be required to show a government-issued ID and adhere to Academic Integrity rules during the proctored session.
