Is it possible that you will change your mind on your degree? I originally aimed for BALS then have since changed my mind. I was SO worried about passing any kind of math and had such a terrible experience with ALEKS that I gave up in 2017 (among other reasons). Passing CMSLearn the other day gave me wings and now I am doing Sophia.org's Intro to Statistics class so I can pursue TESU's BA in Psych + ASNAM in Comp Sci. Something to consider, that you don't have to "settle" with checking the box bc you think the math part will hold you back with getting the degree you want the most, which is what happened to me. I'm not sure if this is your case or not, just sharing my own experience, so I hope I didn't offend you, bc that is not my point. CSMLearn is SO fun and then the other math I need, for the principles of stats requirement I'm using Sophia.org’s Intro to Stats, I-N-T-R-O, lol, not full boar Stats. And, I have 60 days to complete it, so much less pressure, plus, no proctored exam. I had considered the Principles of Stats through Study.com, but don't like the cost associated with it if I need more than 2 weeks plus the proctored exam part. All in all, I'm enjoying the ride of learning stats, looking forward to each lesson, whereas any other method was not the same happy experience. If Sophia’s Intro to Stats is too much for me, I can always get a refund! Can’t do that with Study.com.
Just my 2 cents!!!!
So as far as any course you buy with the code, even if you bought the course months ago, they will refund you money within 30 days of starting the course, or not starting it at all.
The other thing I LOVE about Sophia.org is that courses can sometimes have several teachers with their own video for each module...so, often with tougher modules, I can watch several different "takes" of the process or idea if I didn't catch it right away with the first one.
HTH!

CONGRATS on the CSMLearn class!! FOR REAL on the Stats course???? WOW that's seriously amazing. I have thought so many times about other degrees but they all required more math classes so I shied away from them. You were totally on point in your thinking. Most recently (and I still have the tab up on my computer), I've considered BA in Psych but it required Stats. I'm at the point in my life where I need the box checked so I go back and forth between what I need to do to get this done quickly and what I would like to learn about. Neither degree (I don't think) is going to get me any further in my career (I work in Pharma) so my thought process always goes to what's easiest/quickest.
I was honing in on Psych courses for UL (CooperSmith has a bunch). I think that gives me the best of both worlds. Classes that I want to take vs required but of course now you put this bug in my head. LOL!
So glad you had such a great experience with Sophia and CSMLearn!
