Has anyone successfully transferred StraighterLine college credits to their university? I'm looking into taking some courses there and want to make sure they'll count towards my degree. Any insights would be appreciated!
Hi, many students have successfully transferred their StraighterLine credits to universities, given that StraighterLine has partnerships with many accredited institutions. However, it's important to note the transferability of credits is always at the discretion of the receiving institution.
Before you start the course, I'd highly recommend reaching out to the admissions or academic advisors at your prospective university. They'll be able to confirm whether the credits would be accepted and how they would count towards your degree. You might need to provide them with the syllabi of the StraighterLine courses you plan to take. You can usually find these on StraighterLine's website or by reaching out to their customer service.
Moreover, when discussing with your university, ensure to clarify not just if they will accept the transfer credits, but also how they will be classified. For instance, ask if they would count towards your general education requirements, elective credits, or major-specific classes.
Remember, it's always best to confirm this before beginning the course, so you don't waste time and money on a class that won't help progress your degree.
Good luck with your studies!
