Want to earn college credit without having to deal with the whole “college” part?

00:07

Hey, we don’t blame you.

00:08

Those dorms can develop some pretty pungent odors. [Picture of a messy dorm]

00:11

Well, get ready for some good news.

00:13

It is totally easy to earn college credit on Shmoop. [Google search]

00:16

Shmoops courses like all things Shmoop are informative, comprehensive, engaging and fun.

00:21

You’ll still have to work your buns off, of course, but you can do all your bun-working [Man whips a bun running on a treadmill]

00:24

online.

00:25

After absorbing all the material in a given course, all you need to do is take the unit

00:29

tests and final exam, score a 70% cumulative grade, and you’re golden.

00:34

Which should be a breeze, since 100% of everything you need to know will be swimming around in [Guys head opens and random things are flying round]

00:39

that over-sized brain of yours.

00:41

But even if you do pull a Jeremy and score poorly on a test or final exam, you’ll have

00:45

one chance to retake it and improve on your prior result.

00:48

Sorry to drag you into this, Jeremy. [Guy crying in the shower]

00:50

Once you’ve passed the course, with just a few clicks you can transfer your Shmoop

00:53

credit to over 2,000 college and universities that consider ACE CREDIT recommendations.

00:59

If your school of choice happens to be one of those 2,000…and trust us, 2,000 is a

01:04

lot—we tried counting on our fingers and failed miserably… [Students hold their hands up and look confused]

01:06

…and your credit is accepted, then you’ll already be on your way to accumulating the

01:10

college credit you’ll eventually need in order to graduate. [Man in a Mario game]

01:13

Other sites might offer a similar service, but they pale in comparison to what Shmoop

01:17

is able to offer.

01:19

With Shmoop, you’ve got unlimited use of ACE CREDIT recommended courses, so you’re

01:23

free to work on as many courses at one time as you can handle. [Man sat in front of four computer screens]

01:26

The courses are self-paced and remote, which means you can go at your own speed, and access

01:30

your stuff from your own bedroom or from an internet café in Singapore. [Woman using a laptop in bed]

01:34

Like Shakira says, “Whenever… wherever.” [Shakira dancing]

01:37

It can take anywhere from a week to three months to work your way through a course,

01:41

depending on how motivated you are and how effectively you’re able to stay off Facebook. [Guy using Facebook on his phone]

01:45

Our courses are less than half the cost of most college credit-eligible online courses…

01:50

only $87.68 per month for access to every single course … [Light beams appearing from the Shmoop website]

01:54

…so you’ll be able to deposit your vast savings into your all-important socks-and-underwear [Guy holding a basket full of socks]

01:59

fund.

02:00

Once you've completed a course and earned a 70% or higher cumulative grade…

02:03

…you can simply head over to the ACE CREDIT Registry and Transcript System to request

02:08

a transcript and earn college credit.

02:10

Or, if your employer is taking care of that part for you, just work directly with them [Man walks into an office]

02:14

to git ‘er done.

02:15

And, of course, our material won’t put you to sleep like some of those other sites. [Guy asleep in front of a computer]

02:19

We’re looking at you, Snoozefest University-dot-com.

02:22

So, yeah.

02:23

Check out Shmoop courses and start earning yourselves some college credit ASAP. [Guy walking on the graduation stage]

02:27

Don’t forget that the early bird catches the worm.

02:30

Which…might not be that encouraging if you’re not partial to the taste of worm, but…you [Bird picks up a worm from the ground]

02:35

catch our drift.
