Why Students Love StraighterLine

Fast. Easy. Done!

StraighterLine is super fast and easy. Going at my own pace has allowed me to complete two courses within a month while working on my third course at the same time. My school has already received my transcripts and approved the courses.

FAQS

Your Questions Matter, Ask Us Anything

How does StraighterLine work?

With StraighterLine, you can take affordable college courses entirely online — at your own pace. Choose the courses you need for your degree, complete them at your convenience, and earn college credits that are recommended for transfer by the American Council on Education (ACE), and accepted by 3,000+ colleges and universities. Once you finish, you can transfer your credits directly to your school — helping you save time and money on your degree.

What is included in the price?

When you enroll in a StraighterLine course, your price includes everything you need to complete the class: all course materials, as well as access to online lessons, assessments, and exams.

You’ll also get the following included at no additional cost:

  • On-demand tutoring
  • Academic advising
  • Transcript delivery
  • Student success resources

Do I need to apply or get accepted?

No applications or acceptance processes are required. StraighterLine lets you start courses right away — just sign up, choose your classes, and begin learning at your own pace.

How do I transfer credits?

Once you complete a StraighterLine course, you can send your official transcript directly to your college or university. StraighterLine credits are recommended for transfer by the American Council on Education (ACE) and are widely accepted by more than 3,000 accredited schools. To make sure your credits transfer smoothly, check with your school’s registrar or transfer office before enrolling in a StraighterLine course. 

Are StraighterLine courses accredited?

StraighterLine isn’t a degree-granting institution, so it doesn’t go through the same accreditation process as traditional colleges and universities. However, all StraighterLine courses are recommended for college credit by the American Council on Education (ACE), meaning they meet the rigorous quality standards expected in higher education. As a result, our credits are widely accepted by more than 3,000 accredited colleges and universities. 

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.
