Great Courses, Saved a Ton of Money

I am currently taking classes for my Construction Management degree. You do the math: I got 6 courses at StraighterLine vs. 1 at my college. It's a no-brainer there.

FAQS

Your Questions Matter, Ask Us Anything

How do I get started?

Getting started is easy. Just choose your course, create an account, and start learning. No applications, essays, or placement tests required. 

What is included in the price?

Your StraighterLine membership includes full course access, digital textbooks and course materials, academic advising, on-demand tutoring, complimentary transcript delivery, tech support, exam proctoring (when required), and various other resources to help you ace your courses. No hidden fees — everything you need to earn credit is built in. 

Can someone help me build a course plan?

Yes! Our enrollment advisors can help you choose the right courses based on your goals and your college’s requirements. Whether you’re filling GenEd gaps or planning a full semester, we’ll help you map out a plan that works.

Do I need to apply or get accepted before enrolling?

There’s no application or acceptance process required. You can sign up and start learning the same day. StraighterLine is built to make college courses more accessible — no admissions hoops to jump through, just affordable, flexible learning that fits your schedule. 

What kind of academic support is included?

When you take a course with StraighterLine, you get access to academic advising, on-demand tutoring, feedback from course instructors, multiple chances to retake assignments — in case you wish to try for a higher grade, and tech support. 

Do you offer payment plans or financial aid?

StraighterLine doesn’t offer payment plans or traditional financial aid, but our courses are priced to be affordable without them. You can start for just $99/month plus the cost of each course you wish to take, and you’re free to pause or cancel anytime — no long-term commitment or student loans needed. 

Are StraighterLine courses accredited?

StraighterLine itself isn’t a college and doesn’t grant degrees, so it isn’t accredited in the traditional sense. Instead, our courses are reviewed and recommended for college credit by the American Council on Education (ACE), and they’re accepted for credit at over 3,000 colleges and universities. 

How do I transfer StraighterLine credits to my college?

It’s simple — once you complete a course, you can request a free transcript delivery through StraighterLine. If you’re transferring to one of our 180+ partner colleges, your credits are guaranteed to transfer for agreed-upon courses. For non-partner schools, we recommend checking with your advisor or registrar before taking a course. Chances are they accept StraighterLine credits — 3,000+ colleges and universities do!
