While searching for a course at one of the top online education sites (edx.org), I came to a course "Underactuated Robots". And for my surprise this course was not offered for learners from Iran, Sudan, Crimea and Cuba.

This is the official response of Edx:

  • Who can register for this course?
    • Unfortunately, learners from Iran, Sudan, Cuba and the Crimea region of Ukraine will not be able to register for this course at the present time.
    • While edX has received a license from the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to offer courses to learners from Iran, Sudan and Cuba, our license does not cover this course.
    • Separately, EdX has applied for a license to offer courses to learners in the Crimea region of Ukraine, but we are awaiting a determination from OFAC on that application.
    • We are deeply sorry the U.S. government has determined that we have to block these learners, and we are working diligently to rectify this situation as soon as possible.
