ASU to Launch a Free Global Initiative and enroll 100 million students

[slammX]

In case anyone missed it the College Credit payment portal is live, for $500/course.

Don't go all the way into Canvas, just login at 100millionlerners.org and at the top it now says:

"Courses
Badges & Certificates
College Credit"

Under College Credit we can pay via PayPal. So for a grand total of $3000, I still find it amusing it costs more to enter the letter grade onto the transcript opposed to getting it graded.

So, at the end of the day, it costs $3500 for what had initially been positioned as 15 "free" credits designed to "democratize access to world-class management education". 

What an epic scam.
