D522 Python for IT Automation (ITEC 3100, 3 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the automation scripting course of 7 technology tables: term 5 of all four Cloud and Network Engineering tracks, term 7 of the B.S. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, and term 9 of the B.S. Information Technology and its accelerated path, where it is one of the closing courses of the degree. Python fundamentals, program flow, and the automation of real IT tasks and processes. Coursework Ninja completes D522 done-for-you. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Next question: what does E010 Foundations of Programming (Python), the companion course, cover?
Per WGU's published description, Python for IT Automation covers the fundamentals of the Python language and its features to control program flow, inform decisions, and automate IT tasks and processes. The course emphasizes a systematic approach to solving problems and the application of programming logic to administer secure, scalable, and resilient IT networks and systems. This is not the computer science theory of programming; it is Python pointed at the daily work of an IT department.
The placement spread is the story. In the Cloud and Network Engineering tracks, D522 arrives in term 5 beside E010 Foundations of Programming (Python). In the cybersecurity degree both land together in term 7. In the B.S. Information Technology, D522 sits in term 9, one of the last courses of the whole degree, which is exactly where a scripting course becomes the final row holding a finished degree open. Message us the code and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.
Every full package includes the written 6-month guarantee: we finish the remaining CUs under the agreed plan, or you do not pay. Packages: Bachelor's $3,000 · Master's $3,500 · both $5,500 · single assessments from $99.
Coverage
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. Student communities report scripted task work rather than a purely conceptual exam for the automation course. We confirm the current format for your catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment D522 carries.
The description's spine: the fundamentals of the Python language and its features to control program flow and inform decisions. The assessed skill is applying those fundamentals to IT tasks, not reciting language trivia.
The course's reason to exist: automating IT tasks and processes. Scored work has to show a task actually automated, with the logic readable, not a description of how automation might help.
The description emphasizes a systematic approach to solving problems and the application of programming logic to administer secure, scalable, and resilient IT networks and systems. Answers that skip the systematic frame, even when the script works, leave rubric rows open.
Term 9 of the IT degree means D522 is frequently the last academic row standing between a student and a finished degree, beside Data Management - Applications and Cloud Foundations. A scripting course with no exam date forcing it can hold a degree open for a full extra term of tuition.
D522 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining list in any of the seven tables it folds into the flat bachelor's package at $3,000, every remaining academic CU under the written 6-month finish guarantee.

Bottlenecks
Most D522 stalls are not about Python being hard. They are about an automation course landing where nobody scheduled time to write code. These are the stalls we take over most often.

Per the September 2026 WGU institutional catalog, Python for IT Automation (ITEC 3100, 3 CUs) covers the fundamentals of the Python language and its features to control program flow, inform decisions, and automate IT tasks and processes, with an emphasis on a systematic approach to solving problems and the application of programming logic to administer secure, scalable, and resilient IT networks and systems.
Per the current catalog, 7 tables: term 5 of all four B.S. Cloud and Network Engineering tracks (General, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Cisco), term 7 of the B.S. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance, and term 9 of the B.S. Information Technology and the accelerated BSIT-to-MSIT path. It is the same course in every table.
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog. Student communities describe scripted automation task work rather than a purely conceptual exam. We confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment the course carries.
E010 teaches the fundamentals of programming in Python with no prerequisites: variables, loops, conditionals, data structures, and debugging. D522 applies Python to IT automation: controlling program flow to automate IT tasks and administering networks and systems. In the cloud and network tracks they share term 5, and in the cybersecurity degree they share term 7; in the IT degree E010 lands in term 8 and D522 closes the path in term 9. Both have their own completion pages, and we complete either.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. If D522 is one row on a longer remaining list, the bachelor's package is $3,000 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every academic course on the plan.
