Just a side note: You only have to pay FOR THE EDX certificate. There is another certificate by Harvard that you can get for completely free after you complete the course.

[@learnwithlukas]

Awesome! Can you still complete it through EDX?

[@costelinha1867]

@@learnwithlukas Yes you can, the EDX is just for structure tho, from what I can see, even when you work from there. You're still submitting your work to the CS50 servers. So I see EDX mostly as a way to track my progress and to get another certificate if you want/can afford it.

Where can I find this particular information?

[@shutup2544]

On edx it's showing a deadline to upgrade in order to get certificate. Can you please tell me in details how i will get the certificate by harvard for free?

[@synen]

IMHO CS50 is absolutely the best introduction to Computer Science,
particularly because of the great David Malan,
and it is available absolutely for free in TH-cam, unless you want a certification.

[@firefuegomakes]

The certificate is free, make no mistake

[@SportsSimp]

I would think that the professional certification is much nicer looking though. 😂

[@insho.]

thanks for the info

[@naveedalirehmani4135]

1. will I get a certificate if I don't do lab work & only watch video content?
2. I read online that you don't have to pay for certificate, if you score more than 70% on lab work and final project?

[@sun_praiser]

1. No.
2. Correct.

[@HuyQuangNguyen-x7f]

Just completed the CS50 course and got my certificate. I founded out that Harvard also offers a free course about game development, which is what i want for my career as a SE. Does this course get updated each year like the cs50 ? Is it outdated and does it has the same value as the cs50 ?

[@mohmmadahmed8522]

did u get the free certificate or like verified

[@valenciawalker6498]

Thank you

[@learnwithlukas]

You're welcome

[@AdithyaKrishna-g6m]

Hey i already saw 24hr cs50 video and self learned what about me

[@ArnavAgarwal-cv1ug]

I think you can still take the course and enroll and complete all the questions / problems that they have there

[@arthurbiasi5114]

So I can have the certificate from Harvard for free, but the Edx certificate is only for the payed version?

[@learnwithlukas]

Correct

[@rassimTheBest3]

​@@learnwithlukashow can I get the free one , can u tell me plz

[@learnwithlukas]

@@rassimTheBest3 You can just enroll

[@mrcapybara3579]

@@learnwithlukas If I start the course on Edx, I'll still get the free Harvard certificate but not the paid Edx certificate?

[@jmgpptt]

@@mrcapybara3579 Yes, when you finish the course it gives you a link to your certificate. It doesn't say "Harvard University" It says CS50 and has the signature of the teacher that says "Harvard professor".
