I failed the first time because I didn't take my time with the questions and hadn't nailed down concepts. If you want my advice, use the WGU Instructor Videos/Live Instructor support it helped a lot. I know this isn't a crazy score, but it is a passing score which is all I wanted. Hope you all can have the same success night owls!

The sad part is, I really thought I did better.

I know the entry market is screwed but in general, has anyone found that a WGU degree for CS isn’t as favorable?

My plan is to get my Master’s through the Georgia Tech’s OSMCS program, which is very reputable. So I feel like it’s much smarter to finish WGU and my Master’s within 4 years as opposed to a 4 year Bachelor’s at ASU, especially because I’m online either way so I wouldn’t be networking/attending career fairs at ASU

Fwiw, I plan on taking Calculus I & 2, Linear Algebra, and Probability at my local community college after/during WGU since I know that not offering those courses is why some employers look down on the WGU CS degree

I found out the hard way. I took both classes through Sophia... And they told me they are not receiving statistics as external credit from any company (I.e. Sophia, study.com...). Welp... Let's hope I don't fail now...

I often go through some of the lessons if I have any downtime at work and obviously looking at it on my phone is much more convenient than lugging my laptop around. I’m in one of the programs that has a lot of reading material and then paper writing, so it’s very easy to just read through course content on my breaks or whatever. My mentor previously told me mobile app logins don’t count towards academic activity, even if you’re in the course material. This seems sort of silly if they have an app, but what have you all heard about this?

I’m working through my course, but for some reason I’m not getting the green check mark on my lessons? Is it because I’m not spending enough time on them? I watch the videos and complete the check your understand questions but still not getting the green mark for some reason.

After 5 attempts I finally passed this exam!!!

Has anyone successfully transferred their WGU BS IT to Georgia Tech Online Masters program? If so, how was the process? How is it going?

I get really stressed in my OAs and for one of my classes i failed enough times to need a success plan. Which worked well as it bumped my average response and grade from pa and practice from like 70/78ish to a solid 86/98 range and I felt confident. However my schedule is hell and its been like pulling teeth to get peer meetings. I can only really do them super early and its dragged my class out almost an entire month just trying to get three calls as booking has mean weeks of waiting. Which naturally also means im groggy and half alive for the calls for the same questions I have answered online and its significantly worse and harder to hear then an online assessment. Which added to that I am very anxious and bad with people

I was ready, my head was in the game and now im just a nervous annoyed mess who just wants this class over but I can feel myself slipping having to wait weeks on end

Hey, Night Owls,

Im taking SSO Intro to IT courses. I've attempted the final exam for the 3rd time, and I am extremely frustrated. I don't know what to do, I tried using quizzlet but don't know how to find the correct one. I spoke to my instructor, and he told me which modules to study. I passed the practice exam. It was different from the actual exam. The instructor said to go over the Areas of IT and IT infrastructure. Im ready to give up, What to try next?

So I’m curious if you need to already know the material to succeed at this college. I’ve seen a few posts saying how difficult it is with the material they give you because it’s not thorough enough and so on. I have an associates degree in business management and plan on possibly transferring to WGU for a BS in accounting. How is their accounting program?

Hello fellow night owls! I recently passed Discrete Mathematics II and I am going to start C950 Data Structures and Algorithms II soon. Do you have any advice or tips for getting the course done? I would like to complete the course in 3 weeks if possible.

Thank you in advance!

Hello !

I’m currently taking C213 – Accounting for Decision Makers at WGU, and I’m looking for advice from anyone who has already completed this course.

If you’ve taken C213, what advice, study strategies, or success tips would you recommend? Are there any resources, videos, Quizlets, study guides, or other materials that helped you better understand the concepts and prepare for the Objective Assessment?

I know everyone learns differently, but I would really appreciate hearing what worked for other WGU students. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! 🙏🏾📚

For context, I already have an AA. I’m just confused on how everything works.

1) I have a specific school that I want to do my PCE and student teaching in, the principal and staff want me to do it there as well. Am I able to choose that school (I looked it up and WGU does have an agreement with that school district), can I choose to go to the school or will they choose for me? This is a dealbreaker for me.

2) Do I get my teaching credentials as soon as I finish everything at WGU (I’m in California)?

3) How hard are the courses?

4) How does everything work linearly? Like do I have to finish all courses before I can begin student teaching/PCE? Is it only one course at a time? Because at my community college I can do PCE at anytime, but I was reading that I might have to pass the CSET before I can even do my PCE? Is that true?

5) Do I take all of my CSET, CBEST, and RICA testing to get credentials through WGU?

I would appreciate ANY and all advice please, thank you!

I completed Fafsa a week before I started my current semester as I did last year as well. Last year it processed and awarded in 2 weeks.

I am on week 3 of it being stuck on processing.

Financial services said there is no issue on their end and it should process soon.

Is anyone else in this situation or have been in this situation?

My laptop is OLD so I’m searching for a new one. I like my Mac and I’ve been thinking about getting the MacBook Air M5 2026 (has 16gb RAM). Does anyone else have this laptop? Has this been a good laptop for your classes?

I’m open to other suggestions! My major is elementary education. No budget.

Alright, so here's my dilemma:

About two days ago, I made a loan revision to borrow an additional amount of $3000. Today (7/22) I get an email telling me there was a disbursement has been applied to my account. However, this seems to date back to my Jan-June term in the amount of $1274 - I know from research that requests like this are usually split between the two, but this also isn't even half of what I requested. July-Dec doesn't show anything yet.

I apologize, for some reason I feel like this is confusing me far more than it should. Can someone walk me through what's going on here, if you have any idea? My main concern is that it's not even split evenly. I'm missing an additional $1726, is essentially what the problem is.

Waiting on Financial Services to reply via email - but wanted to see if there was anyone else who experienced something like this. Appreciate anyone who can offer insight.

Hello,

I have a bachelors degree in social sciences but I have been working as a developer for 3 years now.

I really would like to pursue MSCS in the USA for future job prospects, networking, new environment, etc.

I am not eligible for many MSCS programs since I don't hold CS bachelors degree and I thought this online degree would be a good idea.

I have following questions:

1) Has anyone managed to get in MSCS after online CS degee?

2) Will this degree make me eligible for MSCS?

3) As I researched here they don't have traditional letter grades or GPA. How did you include your grades in your application when applying for MSCS?

Please sharw your experience.

Thank you!

I’m new to this school and I only received an email stating that financial aid disbursement had been applied to my WGU account. May take 10 days processing. Tomorrow will be 10 days I haven’t recorded any further updates.

Waiting for my capstone to be graded AMA :)

I am looking into getting a bachelors in HIM. I went to college previously so WGU has reviewed my transcripts. But i’m also looking at doing Sophia learning to complete some courses before i start. they have my start date as september. was it easy to switch the start date?

also any advice for sophia learning if anyone else did transfer credits through them to save time/money. i’d appreciate any advice or experiences.

D413 is the pre-assessment similar to the OA?
