3 Upgrade to the Credit Eligible Track and verify your identity

In order to receive academic credit, you need to verify your identity and upgrade to the Credit Eligible Track.

Use your ASURITE UserID to log into your Earned Admission portal. Click the “Pursue credit” button on the course name within your dashboard, and pay the $25 fee. If your employer is covering this cost, you will not need to pay.

After upgrading, you will be prompted to verify your identity. You will need to provide a photo of yourself along with a government issued ID. Be sure to do this at the beginning of the course. You will not be able to take your final exam if you have not verified your identity.
