What topics can I learn about?

CashCourse covers a range of personal finance topics, including:

• Budgeting and money management

• Credit scores and borrowing

• Student loans and repayment strategies

• Saving and investing

• Paying for school — scholarships, grants, and financial aid

• Achieving financial goals

The Resources section also includes a Knowledge Base with articles on real-world money questions — topics like avoiding financial scams, comparing job offers, navigating financial aid, and building emergency savings.

What is the Budget Wizard?

The Budget Wizard is a built-in tool that helps you plan your monthly income and expenses. You can use it to set spending targets, track your goals, and see where your money is going.

What are worksheets?

Worksheets are downloadable, hands-on activities that help you apply what you've learned. Topics include goal-setting, debt management, and saving strategies. You'll find them in the Resources section and can use them independently or as part of a course assignment.

Can I choose how courses are displayed?

Yes. In the Course Catalog, you can switch between a visual card-style view and a text list-style view — whichever is easier for you to browse.

Can I save my progress and come back later?

Yes. CashCourse saves your progress automatically. You can pick up where you left off at any time by returning to cashcourse.org and selecting Log In.

How do I track my progress?

CashCourse gives you several ways to monitor your learning:

• Each course page shows a real-time progress indicator and your quiz score.

• The Course Catalog displays which courses you have started or completed.

• From the My Activity menu, select Transcript to see a full summary of all courses, quiz scores, and completion dates.

How do I prove I completed a course?

From the My Activity menu, select Transcript to view your completion history. You can download it as a PDF to share with an instructor, advisor, or program coordinator.

Can I bookmark content?

Yes. You can bookmark courses, articles, and worksheets to find them quickly on future visits. Bookmarked items are saved in a dedicated section of your account.

Will I see a survey after completing a course?

Yes. CashCourse includes a short survey at the end of each course. Your responses help improve the platform and shape future content.

My instructor assigned CashCourse through Canvas or another LMS. How does that work?

If your instructor has incorporated CashCourse into a course on Canvas, Blackboard, or another learning management system, they will share a direct link to the assigned content along with instructions for completing it. You still access CashCourse through cashcourse.org — your LMS just provides the assignment details and the link to get started.

I forgot my username or password. What do I do?

On the CashCourse login page, select Forgot Password to reset your credentials. If you are unsure of the email address tied to your account, contact your academic advisor or financial wellness office for assistance.

Who do I contact if I have a problem with my account?

For technical issues with CashCourse, visit cashcourse.org and use the Support link in the top navigation. For questions about your APSU access, contact the Office of Student Financial Wellness.
