Free Open University predates Free Ed and UOP but is still probably not the first. Free Open University is the only one that is Actually Free. No expensive CLEP Tests or the many Fee's UoP charges.
Their are others listed by the Collegiate Independent Study Association too.

The financing needs to be reworked. Students have to be able to directly donate to professors. I wrote a paper outlining a system I believe will work better. Email me for a link to it.

I just sent off my application....fingers crossed!

I don't think it is the first, unless it was lauched before 1998. Free-Ed.Net has that distinction.

this is a good development coming at this time when education can not be afforded by many. but what is the application and admission process?
please i will like to know and start working towards it.

@asmetuyasiempre If you complete a full four year program at ed-net . You can apply for accreditation for your program from Collegiate Independent Study Association. If your work qualifies, they will accredit your education. If you do exceptional work, the honors program at Collegiate Independent Study Association will issue a Certification of Full and Complete Knowledge for you Ed-Net program.
There is no charge or cost for CIS Accreditation But extra Essays may need to be written.

@freeopenudotorg Collegiate Independent Study Association offers Full Accreditation for University of the People Degrees . Their fees are very low and no one has complained about the University of the people quality. If anyone does have a problem with the quality you should report them to the Collegiate Independent Study Association. They register Zero complaints other than a few people upset that they are not completely free. The fees are reasonable.



Awsome concept.

Interesting idea. Would be more valuable if/when they get accredited.
