MITx: 0.503x Becoming a More Equitable Educator: Mindsets and Practices

Want a Free Certificate?

EdX offers verified certificates, which are available for a fee that varies by course. For Becoming a More Equitable Educator, there is a coupon code from the XQ Institute to cover the full $49 (USD) cost, meaning the certificate is free as long as you meet the requirements. 

To be eligible for a Verified Certificate, you must: 

  • Upgrade to a Verified Certificate by 11:59 PM UTC on June 23, 2020 (NEW deadline); 
  • Complete the ID verification process by 11:30 PM UTC by June 30, 2020 (NEW deadline);
  • And complete 60% or more of the assigned work and indicate that by completing the appropriate checklists by 11:00 PM UTC on June 30, 2020 (NEW deadline).

TO USE THE COUPON CODE  

  1. Select "Upgrade to a Verified Certificate." You can do this on the "Course" page or in your dashboard.
  2. On the next page, add the coupon code: AWK5257R6CROPRYK and click “Apply.”
  3. You will see "Discounts applied" and the full value of the certificate ($49) will be reflected. The total for the order will be $0.00. Click “Place Order.”
  4. EdX will thank you for your order and you will notice on your dashboard that your status for this course is now verified; you may still need to complete ID verification. 

You may audit any edX course, including this one. You do not receive a certificate if you audit a course, but you can print your progress page for the course if you want evidence of your achievement. Please note that the edX honor code applies to all courses. 

I PAID FOR A CERTIFICATE BEFORE THE COUPON CODE WAS AVAILABLE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Per edX’s refund policy, it is very important that you complete the steps below within the refund eligibility period: 14 days after your purchase date or 14 days after your course starts (April 7, 2:00 PM UTC), whichever comes later. 

After that date, it will not be possible for edX to issue a refund, regardless of your payment method.

  1. Un-enroll in Becoming a More Equitable Educator by April 7, 2020 2:00 PM UTC or 14 days after your purchase date, whichever comes later. If you un-enroll within the 14 day window, edX will automatically issue you a refund for the $49 you paid. 
  2.  After you have un-enrolled, immediately re-enroll in the course. Make sure you are still interested in pursuing a verified certificate. (We hope you are!)
  3.  Select “Pursue a Verified Certificate” or “Upgrade to a Verified Certificate.” On the next page, add the coupon code: AWK5257R6CROPRYK and click “Apply.”
  4.  You will see "Discounts applied" and the full value of the certificate ($49) will be reflected. The total for the order will be $0.00. Click “Place Order.”
  5.  EdX will thank you for your order and you will notice on your dashboard that your status for this course is now verified; you may still need to complete ID verification. 

Please remember that you must verify your identity by June 30, 2020 (NEW deadline) and meet the requirements for earning a certificate (reporting completion of 60% or more of the work) in order to actually receive one.
