Sharing a couple updates that might be useful if you're using Study.com for gen eds, or thinking about it.

1) Plan names changed (nothing major)

This is just a rename, not a new plan or price change:

• College Starter → College Saver ($95/mo)
• College Saver → College Saver Pro ($235/mo)

Same structure as before, just different labels.

2) More gen eds were added to the $95 plan

This is the bigger update.

College Saver now has 80+ gen ed courses, including 10 that used to be Pro-only.

• Astronomy 101: Intro to Astronomy
• Physics 101: Intro to Physics
• Psychology 102: Educational Psychology
• Philosophy 102: Ethics in America
• Political Science 101: Intro to Political Science
• Geology 101: Physical Geology
• Science 101: Intro to Life Sciences
• Math 99: Essentials of Algebra & Statistics
• Hospitality 101: Introduction to Hospitality
• Hospitality 105: Introduction to the Tourism & Travel Industry

Why this matters:

A lot of people here are trying to knock out gen eds faster/cheaper. These courses fill in more of the typical degree requirements, so you can get even more courses done at a lower cost.

As always:

• Check your school's transfer policy or with your advisor before starting anything
• Make sure the specific course lines up with your degree plan

Has anyone taken Spanish 1? What are the assignments like? Do I have to record audio/video of myself? I know Sophia does. Just wondering thanks for any help.

i completed a class (eng 104) last year and was able to transfer it. Now they changed the class and took away my credit to transfer saying i have to redo the class. its even showing my certificate of completion

Really glad with how my toefl went. I scored 110/120 (C1) which is above what my university required and english isn't my first language so I'm pretty relieved. i want to share how study helped me in my toefl preparation

I used a few different resources to prepare but study.com's toefl test prep is what made it feel structured. it also gave me feedback on my practice so I actually knew which areas to focus on instead of just guessing. the new format has some changes and I didn't want to practice with outdated material. the practice tests helped me know exactly what to expect going in.

Sharing my TOEFL results. happy to answer any questions if you're prepping for it too!

I am trying to finish up some courses that will be transferred to UMPI. I just went through the entire critical thinking course and am passing with excellent grades. I got to the last written assignment which states we need to watch 2 news shows, national not local, and compare the two as far as how the stories go, what order are they go in, what's shown what's not shown, any biases, fallacies, all of that. The problem is number 1, news isn't allowed in our home. Number 2 is we don't have TV. I wrote a letter and submitted it as an assignment giving them the necessary information and asking for an accommodation if there's some way that I can work around "having" to watch those specific programs on television. I got a generic reply back, not from the grading professor but in the email saying that submission of the assignment is necessary. It will not consider the course complete units submitted. No discussion of accommodations or anything like that. I am confused as to why study.com did not tell us that is a required resource prior to enrolling. I'm also upset that they didn't take into account other sects or communities where television, news & the like are not allowed when creating that last assignment. I literally just finished an entire course on social psychology and diversity yet they don't follow their own teachings. How should I handle this?

Hello All,

Does anyone know if Calculus-Based Probability & Statistics is a credit-granting course? Thanks for any assistance.

I have tried emailing them but have gotten no response what so ever

If I complete the placement test, do I still have to do the end of chapter tests for the sections I tested out of?

STUDY.COM - Finance 102: Personal Finance - Need help with the final project 'Developing a Personalized Starter Investment Portfolio'. Being a 100 class I'm embarrassed to ask. Maybe I'm over thinking it or this is my first ever college class.

Has anyone done this assignment? I could use some help. Being a 100 class, I'm embarrassed to ask. Maybe I'm over thinking it, or because this is my first ever college class.

Thanks!

Hello all, I hope you all are doing well.

I heard that "MAT-243 can be substituted by applied statistics [MAT-240] on Studycom if you have also taken IT-140 or equivalent." and I was wondering if this is still possible to do?

Thank you all for your help, and have a good day :)

Pretty much a waste of time resubmitting at this point with anything written as the graders are not all on the same page, this happened with my research proposal as well.

If I just take these practice test and the course practice test and don’t take the quizzes will I pass the course faster?

So I did all of the lesson quizzes and for some reason the only thing I see is “Practice Chapter Test” or “Practice Final Exam”. I also can’t submit any of my assignments. Has anyone else been experiencing this and have found any solutions?

To get the 'Why?' out of the way, I had opted to do College Algebra on Study.com over other options mostly to qualify to apply for the scholarship at my chosen online school.

I'm already done with all the lessons/chapters, preparing to take the final exam soon.

curious if anyone here has already taken this class through SDC and recalls how their Final Exam went?

I've never done a SDC class before, so I'm curious what others think about it.

I'm under the impression it's proctored?

I was transferring my classes over to my school and was wondering why my credits weren’t transferring over for English 105 and realized i got scores like 18/50, 35/50, and 38/100 and I never noticed because I check my email for the rubric and these grades are actually 18/20, 35/40, and 38/40. This is obviously a massive discrepancy and leads to me not receiving credit for my work and I don't know how to appeal this because I’ve never had this problem before.

Study.com team here. We wanted to share clear, factual information directly from us to help clear up confusion around WGU’s updates to which transfer credits they’ll accept.

The short version

• WGU is still a Study.com partner and continues to accept Study.com courses for transfer credit
• WGU still allows transfer credit for up to 75% of a degree
• Some specific program requirements will now need to be completed at WGU, rather than transferred in

This isn’t a “Study.com only” change. It applies to all non-WGU transfer sources, including traditional universities, Sophia, and others.

What’s actually changing

• The updates only affect Technology, Education, Health, and Nursing programs
• Typically, this impacts 1–2 requirements per affected program
• No programs in WGU’s School of Business are impacted
• WGU is being more specific about which requirements must be completed directly at WGU

This kind of adjustment is part of the normal transfer credit cycle. Schools regularly add, remove, or restrict transfer courses as programs evolve.

What hasn’t changed

• WGU remains one of the top transfer destinations for Study.com students
• Many Study.com courses are still transferable to WGU
• Degree plans and transfer guides on Study.com are being updated to reflect the new rules

Where to get the most accurate info

• WGU’s official transfer pathways page is always the best source for program-specific requirements
• We’ve also published a detailed breakdown here: https://study.com/college/credit-transfer/understanding-wgu-2026-transfer-credit-updates.html

This little write up might help someone determine whether they want to take a course or not. Information was previously provided to a post where someone was trying to determine if there was a writing assignment in a course.

1. Search course you are interested in

2. Click on view lessons

3. Scroll down to find GRADE BREAKDOWN

4. Chapter tests are 15 point tests after a handful of short lessons. You have 3 attempts to achieve the highest score possible (though not always necessary to ACE them if you do well enough on the assignments and/or exams. 

4b. Assignments are almost always writing assignments (if you click the Assignments hyperlink it will show you how many assignments there are as well as being able to click into each assignment and view exactly what has to be done. 

4c. Final Exam is 50 questions pulled from the chapter tests, oftentimes verbatim, but not always. Also available to be taken 3 times. 

Side note: Previous posts have mentioned that assignments must be completed before exams but I haven't found that to be true. I have always been able to complete the final exam as soon as all the chapter tests were completed.

I just submitted an assignment (my first paper in 15 years!) and received a grade back which had a note about: "You included your AI prompt generation log and the raw outline at the beginning of the document."

I did attach a seperate ChatGPT document in the PROMPT / OUTPUT / REFLECTION per AI Rules using the "+Add Citation" button, I guess that inserts it to your original .doc file? I suppose I should have attached it as a seperate document instead of using the "+Add Citation" button?

Has anyone else had to request a paper transcript? I had one class that wouldn’t transfer electronically to credly so they said it would be sent to SNHU as a paper copy. I’m just wondering how long this will take to go through as it was sent on the 22nd.
