Going to start March 1st, BS IT Security. Anyone have a referral they'd like to pass on?

Thanks in advance

You'll need to enable PMs or other members to email you so we can get in touch with you. Instructions are on the first page of this thread.

The WGU Refer-A-Friend Program

Refer Your Friend in December and WGU Will Donate to the American Red Cross - Deadline Extended to January 7th!

Do you know someone who is interested in earning a high-quality, accredited bachelor’s or master’s degree online? If so, complete this form and we’ll send both of you a special thank you gift and donate $10 to the American Red Cross.
Here’s how it works:

STEP 1: Complete the referral form below and we’ll send your friend an email inviting them to complete the referral acceptance form.
STEP 2: Your friend completes the referral acceptance form. When they complete the form we will verify their eligibility. If eligible:

We’ll waive your friend’s application fee (a $65 savings) when they apply for admission.
We’ll send you a gift code good toward the purchase of merchandise in the online student store.
We’ll donate $10 to the American Red Cross.

You can refer as many friends as you like, and for every eligible friend you refer, we’ll waive their $65 application fee and donate $10 to the American Red Cross. You can only receive a total of four gift codes per calendar year good toward merchandise of your choice at the online student store. When your friend completes the acceptance form, you will receive a confirmation email.
NOTE: In order for you and your friend to receive the gift award, your friend must complete the referral acceptance form. Only current, matriculated students and alumni of WGU are eligible to make referrals. To be eligible, referred friends must be requesting information about WGU for the first time (and have no prior record of inquiry). Eligibility will be verified.

Looks like the counselor in question was just ahead of the change. They updated the refer a friend website to show only a $40 discount now.

We’ll give your friend a discounted application fee of $25 (a $40 savings) when they apply for admission.
We’ll send you a gift code good toward the purchase of merchandise in the online student store.

You can refer as many friends as you like, and for every eligible friend you refer, we’ll waive $40 off their application fee. You can receive a total of four gift codes per calendar year good toward merchandise of your choice at the online student store. When your friend completes the acceptance form, you will receive a confirmation email.

Hi everyone! I was wondering if someone would be able to help me out with a referral so that I can get my journey at WGU started. Hopefully I will get the opportunity to return the favor! Thanks. I don't have 10 posts so I cant receive PMs but the email option is open. Again, thank you!

**fcar28** · 01-10-2013 08:47 PM

Hello All,

I am new to the board. I did a google search and I am interested in seeing if I could get the referral code. I am actually trying to see if I can get set up for Feb 1, not sure how long it takes. Thank so much!

Good luck to all this semester!

**emeraldjones** · 01-13-2013 09:36 PM

I've enabled my account so that I can receive emails for admins and members, I hope that is the right way to do it.

**JrockTheShocker** · 01-13-2013 09:58 PM

Can someone please PM/email me a code? Thanks in advance.

Neither of you have your Email or PMs enabled. When a mod enables them, feel free to Email/PM me and we'll get the ball rolling for you.

Regards,

Sledge

I've updated my settings! I hope that this works. I can't see how to email or PM you.
