The Arizona ACT rate for ASU courses.

Who qualifies

3. New to ASU courses
   A first-time online ASU student.Students who have already taken an online college course do not appear to qualify.

How to use it

1. Step 1
   Sign up through ASU's ACT partnership page.There is no promo code. The rate is tied to the account made through that page's link, so start there rather than at the main ASU site. Use the student's legal name, not a preferred name, so the transcript is not delayed.
2. Step 2
   Start a qualifying course for $25.No application and no GPA minimum.
3. Step 3
   Finish the course.The student does the work. A C or above is needed for credit.
4. Step 4
   Add the credit for $350, if the grade is worth keeping.ASU applies the rate automatically when the first course is added to the transcript. If the student is not happy with the grade, they do not pay it.

Deadline: ASU says the rate does not expire and can be used at any time. The program is described as a pilot, so it is worth using while it lasts.

The rate applies to 18 courses:

Before choosing, check how the course counts at the colleges the student is considering. The Credit Map shows how UA and NAU count each one.

What it saves

ASU's standard pricing is $25 to start and $400 to add the credit. At the ACT partner rate, adding the credit is $350, so $50 less per course. ASU does not say whether the $25 counts toward the $350, so plan on $375 per course in total.

Support to finish the course

Students do every assignment themselves. Caveat makes sure the course actually gets finished. ASU's own fees are paid to ASU.
