Upcoming Changes to Study.com's Credit-Granting Courses
Last updated: Wed, Apr 1, 2026, 5:58 PM
From time to time, Study.com updates its college credit-recommended courses to keep content current and aligned with credit recommendation standards.
If you are enrolled in a course listed for update, these changes may affect your course progress.
What this means for you:
If you finish the course before the update date (including passing the final exam and submitting any required projects), you will not need to complete the updated materials.
If you do not finish before the update date, you will need to complete any new lessons, assignments, or the revised final exam added to the updated version of the course.
We provide advance notice so you have plenty of time to decide whether to complete your course under the current version or continue with the updated one.
For questions or help with course updates, please reach out to Study.com Support—we’re here to help you stay on track.
