I have just confirmed this. There is a code: NEW2EDX.

OP: thank you so much for posting this. I don’t know where to start. This is so amazing. Thank you.

I think a lot of people know about Harvard online but the perception has always been that it looks a bit wanky putting an online course from an Ivy League school on your resume as some petty way of trying to tell people you studied at Harvard when really you just did an online course.

Perception on this might actually change now but I’m curious to hear from leaders and recruiters what their perspective on this is online vs on campus

I worked for one of the largest banks in the world. They did validate any degree or certificate listed.

I know of 3 people who were fired when their background check failed for fraudulent education information.

Two of them were told to lie by their recruiter.
