Even so, the retries should not be limited, I should be able to take a course as many times as I want and pay for it. The limitation is because they are in a contract with universities. Unequivocally the students will take the course at the college in the end since they need those UL courses to graduate. I will take same courses with BYU Independent Studies first if I happen to fail any on SDC, so I save money.
There seems to be a little confusion between the retakes of the exam in one enrolled course and retake of the course after a complete fail after all tries. For the latter, a second chance should be allowed. Otherwise it means also sophia courses are worthless since they allow a myriad of retakes (course can be dropped before failing and restarted from scratch). Some courses can be hard and it is possible to fail, my only problem is with a second chance on a potential failed course. It hasn't affected me so far, not with study.com, and not even sure I am going to take courses for credit with them yet. In a sense the fact that I cannot have a choice for at least a second retake makes me want to spend more and go with the courses at TESU.
