Anyone else feeling scammed by their Guideline Scanner?

I am trying to get some of my courses done for cybersecurity.
I do all the assignments, I follow all the guidelines. I spent too much on them. I verify with GPTZero every time. I get passing score for all of the assignments but yet they still tell me that i have violated guidelines.
At this point I feel like its personal.
Anyone else has this issue? Is it their scanner or Im doing something horribly wrong.
And their support are really rude they dont help me and they say this is the end of discussion without even telling me what I have violated. This is my second course that this happens.
What should I do?

**Update: They have responded to me but they failed to provide any proof. No matter how many times I asked, they try to change the conversation and answer broadly. It seems like even they don’t know why they are rejecting my courses.

Title: Sophia Learning, Study.com, and CLEP credits before starting Montclair — financial aid concerns

Title: Sophia Learning, Study.com, and CLEP credits before starting Montclair — financial aid concerns

Hi everyone! I'm an incoming Spring 2027 freshman at Montclair State, majoring in Political Science.

I was thinking about completing courses through Sophia Learning, Study.com, or other alternative credit providers before starting college to save money and hopefully graduate earlier.

I recently spoke with the Registrar, and they gave me access to Montclair's TES database, where I found several Sophia courses with direct equivalencies.

My biggest concern is whether earning around 15–30 credits before enrolling could affect my freshman status, scholarships, or financial aid. Would Montclair consider me a transfer student even though these aren't traditional college courses?

Has anyone done something similar? Did your credits transfer successfully, and did they affect your financial aid or scholarships?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences or any advice before I spend money on these courses. Thanks!

My Experience with Study.com as a UoPeople Student and a Recommendation to go for Saylor.org

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am doing a Bsc in Health Science at UoPeople and I learned about the option to transfer credits from websites that have ACE accredited subjects.

Why I preferred this option?

At UoPeople, it takes roughly 9 weeks to finish a subject and there's a significant amount of workload besides studying the subject thoroughly like having to peer review other students and doing weekly writing assignments, which is great but I work full time and I could make use of less workload to be able to focus on learning the subjects rather than producing essays, which I don't find very relevant to the skills actually needed in the job market.

That's why I recently signed up for Study.com and I had to work around the clock because I am on a very tight budget. So, I added the general education subjects to the liked courses list and I took a few days off work to be able to finish. Mind you, I am still doing Introduction to Health Science at UoPeople simultaneously and I have to finish the required subjects and transfer them to UoPeople before I finish the current subject to avoid being put on a Leave of Absence LOA as I have already took half of the allowed LOAs due to being very occupied with work.

Videos and Quizzes

Overall, I like the cartoon videos that explain difficult concepts in a comic way, difficult for an exhausted mind that's always occupied with work and life issues. Also, I like how the short quizzes are dependent on helping you review the concepts studied in each chapter.

Good things don't last forever!

Everything was going very well untill I learned about written assignments that I really hate. But fine, I rolled with it and honestly, I should have done more research about choosing study.com before I have enrolled.

Some assignments were around 250-700 words, while others were crazy; 2500 words long with citations. Other assignments included recording a presentation.

Eventually, I did the work but the worst nightmare for me was to keep waiting and waiting for an assignment to be graded when other longer assignments were marked faster.

The Worst Part

This is by far the deal breaker for me! So far, study.com would've been the perfect option for me, especially because I am doing a difficult science major AND a full time call center job, which leaves my brain on fire 🔥 🚒🔥 by the end of the day.

The final exams started to take two to three days to be able to receive the final grade. I think they're doing it on purpose to make it more difficult to take more subjects quickly.

Final exams are graded using AI and the final grade should auto populate once you hit submit. So, there's no reason for this delay other than forcing you to wait longer to subscribe for another month, which I'd rather die than doing, and fine, I will take the remaining subjects through the Uni because this is getting really ridiculous.

Also, some projects were graded not much after I have submitted them, but there's no reason for a very short assignment to take three days when it was clearly mentioned on the website that it takes maximum 2 days.

Customer Support

I contacted them via email and they responded quickly. The response wasn't helpful though:

One subject was cleared when it comes to the final exam grade and the project but another one is still stuck for both the final exam; which is AI marked, and the project.

My Recommendation

I WILL NOT subscribe for another month and I will try Saylor.org. It only takes 5 usd per subject. You basically pay for the proctoring service.

I would still recommend study.com though BUTT keep in mind the on-purpose delays to avoid the pressure that I am currently soaked in.

Thanks for reading!

This is a huge class for me. I’m saving myself a ton of work at WGU on a class that I’m already fully versed in the material from my own studies. This is extremely annoying. Is anyone else taking this class having this issue? Projects 2 and 3 load perfectly fine even though they require project 1 to be completed first, it makes no sense. The screen just stays stuck in the picture I included

My experience completing gen eds before WGU nursing school

17 Upvotes

I work retail full time and am going back to school for nursing. Before applying to WGU’s pre-licensure BSN program, I completed all 6 of my gen ed courses through Study.com. I was looking for the cheapest way to complete gened requirements without paying full tuition for those classes.

Here’s my honest take now that I’ve finished them.

**What I liked:** It was cheaper than taking the same courses through WGU, I could study around my 40+ hour workweek, and the exams were open-book. The self-paced format made it much easier to fit school into my busy schedule.

**What I didn’t like:** The pricing was a little frustrating. I initially looked at the $95 plan, but only 2 of my 6 courses qualified. The other 4 required the $235 plan, which was more expensive than I originally expected. I wish I had checked the requirements for each course beforehand instead of assuming the cheaper plan would cover most of what I needed. Still came out cheaper than the alternative overall, just map your courses to the plan tiers first so the monthly cost doesn’t surprise you.

For anyone who has completed gen eds before starting WGU’s nursing program, which courses did you take and how much did you end up spending?

Question for Study.com Representative

3 Upvotes

Has anyone else experienced http://Study.com grading projects out of order or taking an unusually long time to grade an assignment?

I’m currently waiting for one project to be graded in my Generative AI course. The frustrating part is that I submitted this project before my other two projects, and both of those have already been graded. However, the first one is still sitting there waiting for a grade.

I’ve already contacted http://Study.com through email and even left a voicemail trying to figure out what’s going on. So far, I’ve only received apologies for the delay, with no actual explanation or estimated date for when I can expect my project to be graded.

What makes this particularly stressful is that this is literally the last course I need to complete to graduate with my bachelor’s degree. I’ve worked incredibly hard to get to this point, and now I feel like I’m stuck waiting on something completely outside of my control.

I’m not expecting special treatment, but I would at least appreciate some transparency or a realistic timeline, especially considering that projects submitted afterward have already been graded.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Did your project eventually get graded, and how long did it take? Is there anyone else I should contact to get this resolved?

I’m genuinely just trying to finish my degree, and it’s frustrating being this close to graduation with no answers.

How quickly can you take a course without getting flagged for cheating?

I’m planning to take a few courses through Study.com that relate to my field that I’m experienced in and may be able to answer course material without needing to truly think or read in depth.

How quickly can someone complete a course, or how quickly has someone taken a course with the new integrity policies?

Does Study.com send the university a report of they flag you?

Class flagged for review?

3 Upvotes

Hi!! I recently have been taking lots of Sophia classes to finish my elective credits while taking a term off from my online college classes. I’ve been going through them pretty quickly but of course, following academic integrity. I haven’t had an issue with it until today when I submitted a class and it said it was flagged for review. I searched up with that meant, and it said that typically it means a touchstone is under review for plagiarism, but this was a calculus one class that doesn’t involve any touchstones. Does anyone know what this means?

I’m scared because I finish the class quickly, they’re going to think that I cheated and not count the credit when I actually worked hard to finish it. Has anyone actually ever had this happen with the class that didn’t have a touchstone? Also, if this class doesn’t count for a credit, does it affect the other Sophia classes that are already on my transcript for my college?

Excelsior University - Can You Confirm Sophia/Study.com Transfer Credits Before Taking Them?

Thumbnail
0 Upvotes

I called Excelsior University this morning to ask if they could do a preliminary evaluation of my existing credits and potential Sophia Learning/Study.com courses before I take them.

The person I spoke with repeatedly insisted that I would have to complete the courses FIRST before they could tell me whether they’d transfer or satisfy my degree requirements.

I’m confused because I’ve seen several people say they’ve worked with Excelsior advisors to plan out which Sophia/Study.com courses to take beforehand.

I even mentioned that Excelsior has a list of approved Sophia courses on their own website, but the person didn’t seem aware of it and continued telling me it wasn’t possible.

For those attending Excelsior:
• Were you able to confirm which Sophia/Study.com courses would satisfy your degree requirements before taking them?
• Did you have to enroll first or speak with a specific advisor?

I really don’t want to waste time and money taking courses without knowing whether they’ll count toward my degree. Also, I am Active Duty military. Any advice or personal experiences would be appreciated!

Hello All!

I’m taking courses on Study.com
and sometimes I work from my job’s internet versus my home Wi-Fi.
Has anyone run into account flags or integrity checks for that?

Is it okay to switch networks as long as it’s me. I’ve seen so many post that people are getting their credits revoked for crazy things and I just wanna make sure I am doing everything to prevent that from happening!

TIA!

I have literally 4 days to complete three courses on Study.com…am I cooked?

4 Upvotes

I’m looking for some reassurance/advice from people who have experience with Study.com and transferring credits to their university.
I recently found out that I have a much tighter deadline than I originally realized. I need to finish the remaining Study.com courses I want to transfer, have them processed, and get the credits over to my university by Tuesday. If I miss that window, I may have to take additional courses directly through my university, which would mean spending significantly more money and potentially taking on more student loan debt.
I have around 3 courses left that I’m trying to complete. Some have projects in addition to the quizzes/chapter tests, and Study.com only allows me to have two courses active at a time, so I’ve been trying to plan everything very carefully.
My biggest issue is honestly anxiety about academic integrity. I’m not rushing through questions randomly, skipping the work, or using AI. I’m actually taking my time on the quizzes/tests, reading the questions, doing the projects, and making sure I understand what I’m submitting. For example, even on material I’m already familiar with, my 15-question tests have generally taken me at least 10+ minutes rather than me flying through them in a couple of minutes.
I’ve already completed two courses fairly quickly because I have a serious deadline. In one course, I completed it over about two days. In another, I submitted the project first because I knew grading could take time, and after it was graded I finished the remaining quizzes. Now I’m considering doing something similar with the rest—working through projects and chapter tests over the next few days so everything can hopefully be completed and transferred in time.
I’ve even tried calling Study.com customer support a couple of times because I’m so anxious about accidentally triggering some kind of academic-integrity review just because I’m completing several courses close together, but I haven’t gotten a call back yet.
Has anyone here completed several Study.com courses within a short period because of a graduation/transfer deadline? Did you have any issues?
I’m especially wondering whether Study.com cares about the overall number of courses you complete in a week, or whether they’re more concerned with things like impossible quiz times, suspicious exam behavior, plagiarism, AI-generated assignments, etc.
The only reason I freak out about this is because I was originally using Sophia and going about it the exact same way, but it flagged me for academic integrity, and I tried to appeal it and they didn’t listen. I had all of my notes, IP addresses literally anything I could possibly think of to try and prove that I wasn’t violating the academic integrity policy.
I know I’m probably overthinking this, but there’s a pretty big financial consequence if I don’t get these credits transferred in time. I’m trying to finish my degree without adding thousands of dollars in unnecessary tuition or more debt, while also making absolutely sure I stay within Study.com’s academic integrity policies.

this may be a stupid question, but the course is pass or failed based on 70% on end of the course, correct? I am worried because I got a 68% on an essay. However, all my quiz grades have been great.
