Do Coursera courses count for college credit?
Students satisfactorily finishing courses or programs will receive certifications of completion – also for free – making it possible for the course to count for credit at their home colleges or universities. There is no limit on how many courses a student can take.
Do colleges recognize coursera?
But that changed today, as Coursera announced this morning that five of its courses have been approved for “credit equivalency” by the American Council on Education (ACE). This means that students who complete these five courses can receive college transfer credit at institutions that accept ACE recommendations.

Why do students take a gap year?
Students take a gap year for many reasons. For some, it comes as a complete surprise. Shameeca Funderburk planned to join the air force and become a doctor, but lost her admission due to a knee injury and found herself in an unplanned gap year. Other students intentionally take a gap year to gain perspective or to pursue another dream.
Does a gap year help or hurt your resume?
A gap year alone isn’t enough to pump up the resume. After all, a year devoted to catching up on Netflix won’t help any candidate get into college. But a year spent volunteering, travelling or interning is something potential employers value.
Should you defer or apply to college after a gap year?
Some students decide to apply to college after a gap year rather than defer. Mauler points out this may be a good option for students who either lack the grades and test scores or simply started the college application process too late in the year.
