MITx: 0.504x Sorting Truth From Fiction: Civic Online Reasoning

Want a Free Certificate?

EdX offers verified certificates, which are available for a fee that varies by course. For Sorting Truth From Fiction: Civic Online Reasoning, 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 Wednesday October 21, 2020 ; 
  • Complete the ID verification process by 11:59 PM UTC on Wednesday October 20, 2020;
  • And complete 60% or more of the assigned work and indicate that by completing the appropriate checklists by  11:59 PM UTC on Sunday November 15, 2020.

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: WMPXMW7HL3DSX7M7 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.
