Want a Free Certificate? 

EdX offers verified certificates, which are available for a fee that varies by course. For Envisioning the Graduate of the Future, XQ is delighted to cover the full $49 cost, meaning the certificate is free as long as you meet the requirements.

In order to pass the course and earn a Verified Certificate, you must:

  • Upgrade to a Verified Certificate by May 24, 2019
  • Complete 60% or more of the assigned work (you must indicate this by filling out the appropriate Completion Checklists) by May 30, 2019 at 11:00 PM UTC
  • And verify your ID by the course end date, May 30, 2019

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: ZL4V4CP2ULPHJEMJ 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. Please do so by the course end date, May 30, 2019. 

You may audit any edX course, including Envisioning the Graduate of the Future. 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?

  1. Un-enroll in Envisioning the Graduate of the Future by May 16. If you un-enroll by May 16, edX will automatically issue you a refund for the $49 you paid. It is very important that you complete this process by May 16. Per edX’s 14 day refund policy, after that date, it will not be possible for edX to issue a refund, regardless of your payment method.
  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: ZL4V4CP2ULPHJEMJ 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 do so by the course end date, May 30, 2019.

Please remember that you must upgrade to a Verified Certificate by May 24, 2019 and meet the requirements for earning a certificate (you must report completing 60% or more of the work by filling out the appropriate Completion Checklists) in order to actually receive one.
