  • Students may complete impacted Sophia Learning coursework through February 2026.
  • Official Sophia Learning transcripts must be received by WGU during March 2026 to be considered under the prior articulation guidelines.

Very easy and open with communication. Thankful for this course.

A lot of info with a lot of repetition so it makes it easier to remember. No touchstones so that's nice.
