From google, \"Coursera courses are accredited by the leading global universities\". Does it count then?

Hi @awsaf49 @rawwar

\n

Pointing back to the prize terms and rules for the side student prize.

\n

(i)enrolled as a full-time student (undergraduate or graduate) at a college, university, high school, secondary school or equivalent educational institution
\n(ii) able to provide proof of your current enrollment before you may receive a prize. If you cannot provide documentary proof that the required percentage of student members of a Student Team are currently enrolled as a full-time students, the Student Team may be disqualified or the team member without documentation may be disqualified, at the discretion of the Competition Sponsor.

So, I'm considering this

\n
    \n
  1. Coursera or EDx does't count as college, university, high school, secondary school or equivalent educational institution rather they are online educational platform .
    2. \n
  2. People taking courses from above mentioned online platforms are also not full-time student (undergraduate or graduate)
    3. \n

@andrewkemp please corrent me if I'm wrong…

@aswaf, i would separate, usual coursera/edx from thier Degree's. By degrees, i mean - https://www.coursera.org/degrees/ . they require students to apply and get into college. They get official degree from college once they complete it.

You might be right, but I'm just wondering, Can a full-time job holder can be a full-time student too. Many students do part-time jobs but that is different case. If this is the case then there is a chance that for sake of the prize one may enroll in some courses just to show their enrollment.

I don't think its that easy and it definitely takes a lot of time for enrollment. Not everyone gets into a program. But, yeah, i am interested in knowing if enrolled students who also work are eligible or not.

Fyi, it took approx. 7 months for my enrollment

I think it is very important for the sponsors to confirm, what is considered as full-time student. I think it'll resolve the confusion.
\nBut it is mention-worthy that if the condition for student-prize is set loose, then there is no point of having this prize in the first place.
