Study.com Reviews 2,900

I have never had such a frustrating and dishonest experience with an online education platform. My subscription ended on June 19, but I had submitted all my assignments well before that date. The moment my subscription ended, I was hit with false accusations designed to force me into resubscribing just to resubmit the very same work I had already completed.

I fought tooth and nail to get my assignments graded without giving them more money. They eventually marked them, but then refused to release my final grade. It is now August 13 and I have still received no response. Because of this deliberate delay, I missed both my July and August deadlines to transfer my courses to WGU.

Their so-called “support” is a joke. They have no phone support whatsoever and their email support is nonexistent, sometimes taking three weeks to respond, sometimes never. I have sent multiple emails with no reply.

Study.com’s business practices are predatory and unethical. They hold your work hostage to squeeze more money from you and they clearly do not care about your academic goals. If you value your time, money, and sanity, stay far away from Study.com.

Pretty slow at grading, and the support is lackluster. Been waiting almost 2 weeks for an assignment grade, and my exam grade changed from a 98% to a pending. I tried to complete this before my ended monthly payment and they pushed the grading until the day after. So now I have submitted the assignment and I can’t even see if or when it will be graded.

Absolutely horrible company and I will never do business with them again! I highly suggest you don’t either!
My daughter completed the course with study.com 2 1/2 weeks before her financial check in deadline and still they have not graded/sent transcripts to her university.
Because of study.com she won’t be able to walk at graduation and will need to wait an entire YEAR!!!!!
Completely unacceptable
She’s worked her butt off and study.com has completely failed!!!

It's impossible to get off their automatic billing. I've done it 3 times. They're sneaky assholes and never refund. They just go, "Okay, but we'll cancel it next month." We'll see if it ACTUALLY comes off the third time.

My guess is the techs either aren't doing their job right or set up a loophole the people in between can't get around on purpose. You take people's money when they're trying to save, any review is just going to be knocked down to 1. It's ironic coming from a place trying to make you smarter.

This is 2025 reviews: Study.com is Scam for students biggest scam is there policy for transferring collage credit take another whole subscription and same as grading period, so you gonna get out 1 tuition pay for whole subscription its to expensive and professors is not knowledgeable at all I got good for final and everything but the assignment they are 300 points so even you do good in final their assignments is a lot and not easy to submit assignment your grader well keep sending your assignments back to you because small mistake and thats 60 percent down on your grade… so Be Aware study.com know that students save but you end up paying their more costumer services not responding until next subscription…. So you gonna end up paying $990 just to get one course out!!! Trust me they knew how to get your money well! So if you doit do it in your own risk! JUST TO LET ANYONE KNOW THE TRUTH BEHIND STUDY.COM

They hire professionals so they need your money to pay them either way they well find a way!! I finish my classes month ago but ti need to keep subscription 3 times to just wait for them to grade and transfer and see the whole grade..

The classes are good. The service is AWFUL. There is no way to speak with an actual human unless you call them out on social media, leave multiple voicemails to their direct-to-voicemail support line, and send multiple support tickets and emails, and threaten with a BBB complaint

Example 1 - I finished a course and was locked out of the final exam. They incorrectly input my assignment scores (50/50, 71/75, 67/75) as percentages: 50%, 71% and 67% respectively. It took 8 DAYS of the above tactics to finally get someone to tell me “oh it’s a backend issue, and there is no final exam” despite the course clearly listing a final exam

Example 2:
My transfer credit deadline was June 3rd. I completed everything by June 2nd. Grading at study.com has never taken more than a few hours at most, usually assignment grades take less than an hour or two to get back. I finished a course and was graded on assignments 1 & 3 within minutes. Waited until past my deadline for assignment 2 to be graded and it still hasn’t been. I even reuploaded assignment 3 with assignment 2 attached, and a txt file titled “URGENT ASSIGNMENT 2 STILL HAS NOT BEEN GRADED”, and they regraded my assignment 3 literally minutes later without touching assignment 2

I am now past my transfer credit deadline while having paid their monthly fee three times (as well as multiple extra exams for $70 each) with nothing other than another automated response. I’ve looped in my college, and will be filing a BBB complaint and refund from my credit card for failure to deliver service

Very good program over all. I was able to pass all 13 CLEP tests I took in large part due to the lessons I took on study.com. I would recommend the program to anyone who is good at self-study. When I was done with my CLEPs, I ended my subscription without any hassle.

Don't use it - they won't cancel your subscription when you're done.

I have an email telling me I canceled 4 months ago but I'm still getting billed $60 per month. You can't contact customer service - all you can do is leave a message or send an email. Four months with no resolution is totally unacceptable!

Using this resource helped me tremendously with SHRM-CP prep. Along with one other resource, this was my main study guide, and I passed my SHRM-CP!

I've been experiencing issues with Study.com for two months now. The website has repeatedly prevented me from taking the Final Exam due to various technical reasons. Despite numerous attempts to resolve the problem, their customer support either cannot grasp the issue or simply isn't interested in addressing it. As of now, the issue remains unresolved, and I am still being charged $235 monthly without any resolution.

This level of service is unacceptable, and I would strongly caution others before using their platform. It’s incredibly frustrating to be stuck in this situation with no support or clear solution.

I was wrongly accused of using AI on an assignment, and despite providing detailed answers to their questions, Study.com has completely ignored me for nearly a month. I've sent multiple follow-up emails requesting updates, and they've simply gone silent. The longer they decide not to respond, the more money they can take from me through the subscription. Their customer service is nonexistent. I've both emailed and called them. Avoid this company if you value your time and money.

Free? then its $239. i just googled a question about the universe and these lunatics want $239.

Study.com is a great source to do classes and have the credit transfer but beware! They do not have a customer service for you to reach out just in case you have concerns. They can take up to two weeks to grade your assignments and it could take up to three weeks for them just to have your transcript ready. But if you have any concerns or questions, it is really hard to get those answered because there is no customer service. No live representative. You can talk to. Yes there is a customer service phone number online but when you call, it’s just for you to leave a voice message. Nothing more.

Their Algebra class assumes you know every step. For example, when they bring a math problem, they don't explain step by step how they get to the solution. They'll skip from step 2 to 5 assuming you know steps 3 and 4. Very annoying because I have spend hours figuring out steps 3 and 4 on my own.

you have to create a account to see your answer , which means you have to pay and get emails etc .

In the Study.com; I've seen Wrong Mesaage- where its written about the Siddhartha Gautam -Lord Budha: was an ancient Indian Prince which is 100% wrong because Siddhartha Gautam -Lord Budha's Birth place is Kapilvastu in Lumbini which is in Nepal 🇳🇵 not in India.

So, He was a Nepali Prince, But not the Indian Prince, this kind of wrong messages should be amended and the correct mesages with facts should be inserted to spread the right mesages to the readers.
Please, write the factual mesages from the right source which which has got authenticated evidence.
Truth is always truth no one can hide the factual thing forever. 🙏🏾

Study.com has been an incredible resource for my education journey! I’ve successfully completed three courses on the platform and am currently preparing for my final exams. The lessons are well-structured, clear, and break down complex topics in a way that’s easy to grasp.

The flexibility to learn at my own pace has been a game changer for balancing school with my other responsibilities, like being a wife, mother and full time employee. I also appreciate how user-friendly the platform is, and the practice quizzes have been invaluable in helping me feel confident before exams.

Their customer service is top-notch as well. Any time I’ve had a question, they’ve responded quickly and with helpful solutions. Overall, Study.com has been an affordable and effective way for me to earn credits and stay on track with my goals. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a flexible and supportive learning platform!

They hide that the cost to sign up is recurring each month in the terms and service fine print. I was charged for 4 months and only used it for 1 week. Why not just be honest and make it clearly known when someone is signing up?

Click and bait type of scam business. I was looking for courses to learn the basics of the French language. They showed me a video with all the pronunciations. I thought, wow, I clicked for a free one-week trial to check it out, and out of nowhere, they charged me $5.95 for the week. When I checked again, the offer was special, and instead of $30, they gave you a week of nonsense for $5.95. And, to make it worse, they had nothing, just one offer of some blah blah they put together as 16 chapters, 262 lessons, and only 6 of these chapters had videos of 2-4 minutes of cartoons talking. You will get two hundred sixty-two silly lessons free of Google. I will dispute the charges with PayPal with all proofs of nonsense.

When I decided to change careers, I was looking for the most economical way to earn my Ohio teaching license. I decided that the best path for me would be to complete a Masters of Teaching program through WGU, but before I could be admitted to the program I needed to complete a few more prerequisite courses. Study.com made the process extremely easy. I knew before I started my courses that they would be approved for transfer and fulfill my requirements. I was able to earn college credit from home quickly so that I could start my program with WGU after only a couple months instead of waiting semesters.
