Does coursera certificates count for the academic curriculum?Answered
I just got a certificate from Coursera (Chinese for beginners) and I don't know if it counts like an accredited course or if it count for my academic achievements for college.

No it doesn’t give academic credit or count as an EC as it should be an Award/Honor. These courses on Coursera EdX Udemy etc gives you the knowledge how to do something but you haven’t done anything with said knowledge such as start a club pass an official qualifying test etc.
Hope this helps and please comment if you need clarification as I’d be happy to help clarify!
