If your student takes a college course
Many Caveat students take an online college course in high school. Here is how that part works.
Who does what
ASU teaches the course. We make sure your student finishes it.
The course and the credit
- The course, taught and graded by ASU faculty
- All course materials, at no extra cost
- The official ASU transcript, if your student chooses to add the credit
The plan and the support
- A course plan matched to your student's goals and target colleges
- A week-by-week pacing calendar
- Weekly one-on-one check-ins
- A plan for getting help from the instructor when a concept doesn't click
- A short progress update for parents every week
- Guidance on when to add a grade to the transcript
How ASU's fees work
You only pay for credit your student wants to keep.
Start the course
Students pay ASU $25 to begin.
Finish the work
Complete the course and see the final grade before spending anything more.
Add it to the transcript
Happy with the grade? Add it to an official ASU transcript, any time within a year. Not happy? You owe nothing more.
ASU sets these fees and may change them. Caveat's services are priced separately; see pricing.
Two ways to take a course
We'll help you choose the format that fits your student's year.

What it takes
It's real college work. Here's what a 3-credit course asks of your student.
Two minutes, two honest tools.
Is your student ready, and what does a semester with Caveat feel like, week by week? Both are free and ask for no email.
What a semester with Caveat actually feels like.
Walk through sixteen weeks of ENG 101 for Jordan, an invented 10th grader. Each stop is the Friday report you would get. Twice, it asks what you would do.
Jordan is invented and every number is illustrative. ASU sets its own fees ($25 to start a course, $400 to add the credit to an official transcript, only with a C or better and only if you choose). The credit advice is Caveat's reading of grade and pace, not a guarantee of any grade or of transfer; each college decides which credits it accepts. Caveat Academic Services provides independent college preparation services and is not affiliated with Arizona State University. Students do all of their own coursework.
College preparation for high school students in any state: the right courses, testing, the college list, applications, paying for college and, when it fits, real college credit.
Here is what working with Caveat looks like, and how the college course piece works for students who take one.
