Approved for SL courses!
#1
Hello! I am finishing up my BSN and my advisor got approval for American Government and Cultural Anthropology through Straighterline. (CLEPS /DANTES were not an option)

-I have not registered yet, what is the most logical way for me to do this? Sign up for both of them now? Finish one and then add the other?  Trying to be financially savvy as well. 
-Can anyone give me an idea on time commitment? I work part-time, have three LITTLE boys and have a heavyish 3 credit research class going on right now. Not sure how/when to fit this in. 

What else am I not thinking of before I do this? These are my last general ed requirements and I want to be DONE, DONE and DONE! 

Thanks for any help!

If you can, complete them both during your first month so you only have to pay for 1 month of service. Also, try to take advantage of whatever promo codes you can for both the cost of the course and for the membership. If your current class is eating up a lot of your spare time then maybe wait until you finish so you can focus on your 2 StraighterLine courses over the course of 1 month or less.

Thanks. Unfortunately, my spare time is going to get even less since I am facing 6 credits in the winter and 6 credits next summer. I am thinking I will have to be okay with a two-month plan to get these last general education credits done.

Ah. Whatever works! The important thing is that you finish your classes and graduate whether that takes 1 month or 6 months.

Western Michigan University. I did my LPN to RN thru
Excelsior a long time ago. Most of my other general Ed’s are thru a community college.. but these last two are just painful and I didn’t want to pay $450ish a class nor be committed to a schedule!
