How do StraighterLine credits transfer to community colleges?

I'm considering taking some courses through StraighterLine to save some time and money. How does the credit transfer process work for community colleges? Would those credits easily transfer, or should I be worried about limitations?

StraighterLine has partnerships with over 130 colleges and universities, and in many cases, the credits earned through their online courses are directly transferable. However, the acceptance of these credits can vary based on each institution's policy.

Before enrolling in any StraighterLine course, it's critical to verify the specific community college you're aiming to transfer to. Most schools have a credit transfer policy, and they may even have transfer agreements with StraighterLine. Inquire about the specific courses you're thinking about to ensure that those particular credits would be accepted.

It's worth noting that StraighterLine courses have been evaluated and recommended by the American Council on Education’s (ACE) College Credit Recommendation Service (CREDIT). This means they carry endorsement for degree credit at colleges and universities that consider ACE CREDIT recommendations. But remember, the final decision always rests with the individual institution.

As a precaution, get a documented confirmation from your college about which credits they would accept. This can help prevent unpleasant surprises later on.
