Finding Cheap or Free Credits Project

[dfrecore]

wasn't there something shady about Align Degree? Are they still around? Did it involve DreamDegree in some way, or am I mixing things up?

DreamDegree was a part of AlignDegree, but they did away with it before many people could get those free credits they were offering. I think only a couple of people on here were able to take any courses at all, and then couldn't even finish some of them. DreamDegree went away, and now it is some sort of adaptive learning app. They have a FB page, but have only posted on it once this year (June 1). Before that, they were posting pretty regularly before November 22 with the courses they were offering for free.

Now, they are doing business as LowCostGenEd.com, and raised their already high prices from $299 to $399, and seem to have let some courses expire, and added new courses. BUT, every course says "Enrollment for this course is currently closed" except for Intro to Logic.

Also, the courses they got rid of were ones that were harder to find elsewhere (Diversity & Multicultural Relationships, Intro to Mass Communication, Personal Leadership Development), and they've replaced them with things like Accounting I and Western Civ and Macroeconomics. Mostly courses you can find elsewhere for less than half the cost.

They can't seem to get their act together over there, so I would not recommend taking anything if it's at all possible to find a course for less somewhere else. Even then, I'm not sure I'd recommend them.
