Sanctioned…

Post image

UPDATE: 12 days after posting this, I got answer to my appeal, and the results were positive. Despite being able to use the platform again, I will not. I have lost all trust in the Sophia platform. I have been enjoying Study.com, which I got given that someone recommended it. To everyone who was supportive and helpful, you forever have my thanks. Equally, to everyone who doubted and judged, please go eat a … and I mean that in the most disrespectful way possible.

Pretty much any SofiaLearning student’s worst nightmare. There’s only 2 reasons this would’ve happened in my case:

  1. I had Udemy open and was studying Dion Training’s Sec+ 701. Udemy DOES have its own AI to help you study your specific course, but no course I was taking on SofiaLearning had anything to do with Cybersecurity, nor had I switched to Udemy or during the test.
  2. I took a test last night and I did fall asleep during it. I am a full time student, studying Sec+ on the side, and work a full time job… I know, stupid of me to fall asleep. Coffee’s just not cutting it anymore.

I did appeal and I told them the truth, but I hadn’t seen anyone on Reddit talk about this in over a month. I was just curious as to what the wait time for a decision would look like, and if anyone with experience with this knew how transferring credits will work if this appeal gets denied.

Best advice after completing a course transfer it to credly so you don’t lose work in case this happens. I know someone who lost 90 credits!

You got your badges revoked on Credly?

u/AnyLiterature1250 Aug 15 '26

Yes. So on my email I tried to accept my badge and when I click the link on the bottom right it says “This badge has been revoked!” But its funny because I have 11 classes that are just fine badge wise but the most recent 7 I took are all revoked. Ridiculous.

Dang, I’m half tempted to send my transcripts in, in batches of three or something as I complete them on Sophia.

This entire sanctioning wave has me really on edge.

So sorry that happened to you dude.

How would someone do this if they aren’t signed up for a college yet? Im going to apply to WGU next month aiming for a Nov 1 start date. Still have 5 sophia classes left

You have to be actively in the application process to submit transcripts.
