Courses are available either for credit or non-credit. Those participants who enroll with credit will receive a grade and an official transcript upon completion of their course(s), which may allow them to apply these college-level credits to current or future studies. Most schools and universities accept these credits; please consult an academic advisor at your home institution for further details regarding its credit transfer and approval policy.
In order to maintain the academic excellence of all classes, students who sign up for the non-credit option are required to abide by the academic policies and must participate in all class sessions, including the final presentation.
Please note: If you do not register for credit at the time of enrollment you will NOT be able to receive credit at a later date.
