What to have ready before day one of an online ASU course, and what each popular course asks for. The facts come from ASU's own pages, read October 2026; the tips are ours.
•Two formats. On-demand courses can start any time and allow up to a year to finish. Session courses have a fixed start date and weekly due dates.
•The 10-day window. Unenrolling within 10 calendar days of the start refunds the $25 automatically, once per course. A student can unenroll later without it affecting their record.
•Credit comes later, and only by choice. With a C or better, the family can add the course to an ASU transcript for $400, within one year of finishing. Each course can be added once.
•Seniors: plan the finish line. College enrollment after high school graduation can affect first-year scholarships. See the scholarship guide.
Students in any state can take the same online university courses at the same price, and Caveat's services cost the same. Arizona's public universities publish how they count each course, so Arizona families get the clearest picture. Elsewhere, each college decides for itself, so how far the credit goes depends on the colleges on the student's list. Caveat checks those colleges before the student enrolls.
Course details change; ASU's course page is the final word. Caveat Academic Services offers independent college preparation services and is not affiliated with Arizona State University. Each college decides which credits it accepts; Caveat does not promise that credit will transfer.
