General
How many credits may I take per session?
Learn about the maximum number of credits allowed per session.
Learners Edge will allow you to take a maximum of 15 credits* per session. This is equal to five of our 3-credit graduate level courses.
Each session has a set completion date where all work is due. This deadline will be the same regardless of the number of credits taken in each session.
Please learn more about session dates here.
We do not have a minimum number of credits you need to take per session.
*NOTE: Our university partners Pacific Lutheran University, Southern New Hampshire University and University of Massachusetts Global will allow 9 credits for fall and spring session, and 12 credits for summer session. All of our other university partners allow 15 credits per session.

Does Learners Edge offer courses for educators who are not in the classroom?
Of course we do–and we’d love for you to explore all of our options!
You may not be in a traditional classroom setting, or your role doesn’t include working with students in the same way that a general classroom teacher might. Learners Edge offers over 20 courses that provide some flexibility in their requirements to allow non-traditional educational professionals to apply their learning in a way that is relevant to their role.
These courses can be found here!
Please feel free to download a syllabus to learn more, or reach out via email, live chat or phone if you have any questions. We are happy to help!

How do I cancel or withdraw from my course?
We’re sad to see you cancel your Learners Edge course, but let’s make it easier on both of us!
Switch your course
First, we are certainly able to switch your registration to a different course. If you feel that you will benefit from a different course, we are happy to update your registration. You can select another course and there is a $15 charge if you would like the textbook shipped to you. Please connect with our Support and Registration Teams to update your record and change the courses.
Cancel your course
If you would ultimately like to cancel your course, you have 30 days from the course order date printed on your receipt to let us know. A $50 non-refundable cancellation fee per course will apply. Once you confirm that this is what you would like to do, we will cancel your courses and issue a refund to the original form of payment. Please let us know if you have any additional questions
How do I request a course catalog?
Prefer to peruse our courses with a paper catalog in hand? Need to request a handful to share with teachers in your school?
The quickest and easiest way to browse Learners Edge courses is directly on our website. However, we’re tight with the post office and would be happy to drop a catalog in the mail to you if you’d prefer.
- Request an individual catalog by mail
- Request multiple catalogs for your school
What are the registration deadlines?
You can register for a course any time! Just pick the session that’s right for you.
We offer 3 sessions, and the registration timelines overlap. This provides you with plenty of flexibility to pick the session that’s best for you.
What can I expect from Learners Edge course evaluators?
Here are some things we’d like you to know about Learners Edge evaluators.
All Learners Edge Evaluators:
- Have a minimum of 5 years of classroom experience
- Hold a Masters and/or Doctorate degree
- Have experience in the course they evaluate
- Provide feedback on each assignment within 7 business days.
- Want you to succeed and will assess your work according to the course rubric included in your syllabus. Please consult the rubric proper to submitting each Module. If you forget a requirement, your evaluator will provide guidance in the Instructor Summary comments. Please resubmit when you have made the necessary changes.
- Are HUMAN! They will always do their very best to provide timely, insightful feedback.
What if I don't meet the course requirements?
I’m nervous about passing the course…
We understand! It’s natural to have concerns, but what makes Learners Edge so well-liked by teachers is we are an email, chat, or phone call away if you have questions!
In your course syllabus, you’ll find the rubric that will be used to evaluate your work. We encourage you to self-evaluate your completed document prior to submission to ensure your work meets the criteria for your desired grade.
Once you submit, your evaluator will review your work against the rubric and provide personalized feedback. Enjoy reading the evaluator’s cheers and accolades!
Tip: Check out this article for more information on viewing the feedback from your evaluator.
If you have not met the module’s minimum requirements, don’t worry! The evaluator will provide feedback that clearly explains what is missing or needs to be revised and will return the module to you. Then, make your changes, and resubmit your work.
No muss, no fuss, and no penalty. We want you to learn!
When do I receive my evaluator feedback and grade?
Evaluation and Grade Transcription you can count on!
If you’re reading this article, you are likely on the home stretch of your course – congratulations! We can’t wait to see the brilliance you’ve acquired through your Learners Edge course.
Evaluators provide feedback on each and every Continuing Education course assignment. You will receive feedback from your course evaluator within 7 days of assignment submission.
Our evaluation team reviews work in the order it is submitted. Keep in mind, we work weekends and will get your coursework back to you as quickly and thoroughly as possible. We’ll send you an email notification after one of our super evaluators has reviewed your coursework. Make sure to read the feedback from your evaluator and resubmit if requested or pat yourself on the back for a job well done! If you are under a time crunch, we offer an Expedited Evaluation service that may help!
Tip: Check out this article for more information on viewing the feedback from your evaluator.
Once your work is complete (if it is after the grade release date for the session), you will receive a course completion email from Learners Edge. This email will tell you that your grade has posted to your Learners Edge record and you can access your Learners Edge letter of completion. We will send your grade in an automatic overnight transfer to your university partner.
Tip: Here are step-by-step instructions for accessing your Letter of Completion.
We adhere to the grading and session timelines of our university partners. With each session, there is a grade release date. This is the date we will begin releasing and posting grades for coursework completed in the session. If you complete the coursework before the grade release date, your grade and letter of completion will not be available until the session grade release date.
Session Grade Release Dates
- Spring: January 3
- Summer: May 17
- Fall: September 3
After we’ve sent your grade, follow the transcription timeline of your university partner. For more information on transcription timelines, go to your university partner’s page on our website.
