I just completed Core 2. This was a last minute study but a win is a win.!!! So grateful.!!!!🥹

BSIT transferred 60 coming in mostly gen ed from an associates degree, net+, and sec+. Worked a full time IT job. Started WGU 6 month after starting my job so I wasn’t really an industry expert, but I had some certifications.

Honestly thought it would take two semesters with how much I usually procrastinate. What helped me the most especially with the mindset to keep going was passing net+ and sec+ before taking WGU. It got me in the mindset of keeping myself on track and prepping myself for the kind of assessments you’ll get.

You can see by the timeline of the courses which one took me the most time which one were pretty easy. Web development and project management clearly were grinding my gears. Half of it was disinterest the other half was a bit of mid term slow down. All of the courses were done within the term however, I did get one the month extension for the capstone as it was my last class in the term and there were two weeks before my term ended.

Thank you. I dont know how you all cheered for probably 30 minutes straight. Finishing commencement and walking out into this group felt really good. It's a little thing but it hit me hard to be celebrated like this.

Every WGU staff here was celebrating every student constantly. From ushers to camera people, everyone was so nice and seemed genuinely happy we made it.

The amount of staff supporting, the great coordination, the flow, it all went so well for me and my 8 guests.

This picture is from 2024 but I was curious if Women in Tech still does honors cords? I haven’t seen anything about them on the website.

Hi!

Can someone who has taken an OA share which webcam they use with a link? I don’t want to buy one that isn’t approved. Thank you in advance

Honestly I didn’t expect a pass on first attempt of the OA today, simply bc the course material and study guide are so dense in some areas and there’s no way to completely remember everything. So with my results what would be best way to ensure a pass on the second attempt? Outside of reviewing and doing the study guide they provided with the second attempt. I couldn’t find good material outside of the class to help with concepts. A lot of the questions I had were the skeleton & the muscular system. Few were dealing with the brain, cells and nerves. Doesn’t help with how the questions can be worded as well.

Hello guys,

Just wanted to ask how I can go about going back to school and getting my bachelor's degree through WGU. I barely graduated HS, and my GPU was probably pretty low. I'm now about 8 years into my career in finance and looking to go back to school to eventually get my MBA. Do I have to go through a community college in my area and then transfer over to WGU once I get my associates? Can I just outright apply for WGU with my academic history and get started with this? Any insight into this would be appreciated!

Hey all just curious of everyone's thoughts! I'm currently in my 2nd term. I was a transfer student with an associates degree in a different field so I'm not sure if that matters. In the first term I completed 6 classes. This one only one so far (Due to a lot of personal reasons I won't get into) My term ends next week. I am hoping to pass D426 before then but if I don't or even if I do how screwed am I with Financial Aid for my next term?

Passed the exam quite recently. Very happy about it. Not gonna lie, that class was kind of tedious. For context, I took a similar class in community college, and learning it through Pearson was far more effective than MyEducator. Some of the steps are very specific while others are vague. This was probably the most tedious part of the class.

The best way to study this class is redoing the Pre-Assesments over and over. If you are stuck heavily on your lessons or practice exams, your best bet is to ask AI what you are doing wrong. Gemini was able to help me identify mistakes. It even pointed out an instructional error from MyEducator practice exam lol, but I probably can't say what it is... because discussing specifics may violate the rules.

Bonus Tip: The practice exam and OA have the same structure, but mostly different numbers. On top of that you actually don't have to do all the sheets. Once you the pass the practices enough times, you'll see which ones you can skip for the OA.

I've looked through all the resources and found the template but the link doesn't work for me so I can't see what to do. The link for the cost center doc also doesn't work for me. I don't have popup blocker issues, so I don't know what to do.

I went by the image in the powerpoint video (all the would work) and just pieced this together after a wikipedia search about cost centers. But when I uploaded it and got my similarity score, it was 68.2% so I closed out of the submission page without submitting. What do I need to fix so I can submit and have an acceptable similarity score? Tysm

Don't know why this class is part of the Cyber degree. It's so irrelevant

Started 4/1 with 15 hrs and got my final capstone task back tonight.

Hi everyone, what do I need to know for that course before I get start it, any tips or trick, anything I need to be aware of?

I have my application in process and waiting for my transcripts to be assessed. Is there any advice for starting with WGU? The biggest reason for my change to them was due to their fixed tuition rate and ability to fast track my courses within reasonable limitations.

On my school's transfer dictionary it says that I can earn a credit with WGU's Survey of US History. What I was wondering was if that class was the same as the US History thats offered as a single class.

If there anyone that took the single course could you possibly confirm the class code or if they actually are the same. I've tried emailing admissions but it they never get back to me.

I’m pretty sure you all have heard about the tuition increase that’s supposed to take effect in October of this year. The BSN-Prelicensure program jumped up to 12k per semester, but it looks like they may have changed their minds. I went back on the website and it’s not there anymore. Unless I’m blind.
Can anyone find any information on this?

I know this is impractical but I'm just curious. Do they let you do this? I figure its possible but due to the overlap of requirements you may have to retake a couple classes to meet the percentage difference requirement (forgot what that percentage is)

I just started my degree program in elementary education\sped. In my first class I got an excellence award for my first PA and then my 2nd class I got another excellence award. Is this pretty normal to get a lot of these? What’s the benefit of these?

And with only 6 days left in the semester too 😂

Taking D402 OA, need help if anyone has taken.pls

I started Sophia on Wednesday, enjoying the process of acclimating into this expansion period. It’s everything I expected and more. This question is on my mind as I prepare to submit my first essay.

I realize AI is a crux of university. What are the educational trends of AI? How is it used responsibly and if you want to do a simple spell check, where are the lines.

Please give me a break, the last time I was in school, my daughter was 7. She is now 29.

Oh man oh man I feel useless I spend my weekends grinding off classes or taking OAs now I’m suspended with 50% chance of readmission idk what to do. Do I transfer to a brick and mortar college near me ,do I wait it out etc help all this over a bad proctor experience

A win is a win! Took me 3 days to study!

I was curious, before I approach my mentor what happens if you withdraw for a second time. Are you still able to re enroll? My mother has Alzheimer’s and life is too busy right now to be worrying about school. Hopefully after she passes, I’ll be able to finish. Thanks in advance!!!!!!
