classes available, and because of scholarships, the cost to take one of them will be $0 for most people. I thought this might be good for the listserv?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

who successfully complete them (85% overall points received, and assessments can be re-done until the person is satisfied with their score) receives an official WSU digital credential through the Credly service and a transcripted half-credit of undergraduate
credit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
