FAQ

1. How many courses can I take with the free trial? Access the course content through the first Challenge of any of Sophia’s 80+ courses.

2. How do I confirm transfer credit with my school? Check Sophia’s list of partner schools to see if your school is on the list. If not, contact your registrar to learn about your school’s transfer credit policy and if Sophia coursework can be submitted for transfer.

3. Can I take courses for credit if I’m not enrolled at a school? Sophia course completions do not expire and will be available to submit for transfer when you’re ready. At that time, check with your school’s registrar for their credit transfer policies.

4. What happens to the coursework I’ve already completed once I become a Sophia member? If you’ve completed the first Challenge during your free trial, you can pick up right where you left off after you become a Sophia member.

5. What happens to my coursework if I cancel my Sophia membership? Don’t worry. Your completed courses won’t disappear if you cancel your membership. Those courses will be there for you when you’re ready to submit for transfer.
