Hi,
According to the Straighterline website- "Upon enrollment, Albany State University accepts all of the following StraighterLine college-level courses for full credit." I guess this means they will only grant credit if you apply to their university, are accepted, and then enroll? Jennifer, what do you think?

Albany has unenrolled/special student options, so I don't see this as an issue at all. Reading through their admissions page, the fee is $20, but you don't have to physically be on campus. They have a (small) selection of gen ed online courses- so you could enroll in a course to facilitate the smooth transfer of SL credits onto your transcript.
If it were me, I simply wouldn't include them in my thought process lol. Like I've always said, know their rules and play inside them. There are huge holes in their policy that allow you to launder credit easily - certainly without emailing /calling their advisiors. I'd apply/enroll as a special/undecided student. I'd take 1 gen ed class and transfer in my already completed half dozen or so SL courses. At that point, I'd have 1 semester and have an official transcript. At that point, you simply walk away with 1 beautiful neat and tidy transcript showing 15+ credits. Happy day.

That document breaks out all their fees. They charge a flat $234 "institutional fee". It's not a per credit fee. Of course, if you add their per credit fee to the institutional fee and look at the 1 ch column, it comes out to $900 (combined with the other flat fees). Their per ch tuition is $517 up to 12 credits. Anything after that is "free". It's kind of a buy 12, get 3 deal. At 15 credits, you'd be paying a bit under $500/ch all fees included.

Actually at the bottom of that same document, it lists their ASU online costs as $200/ch. That's extremely cheap. Hopefully they get some more undergrad degrees.

Ohhhh, double "like" on that. I'll revise my above suggestion to include taking more than 1 class in 1 semester. Again, not everyone needs letter grades, and if you were heading to TESC anyway, this isn't the way to go. BUT, this is a good option for getting ACE classes onto an anyname university transcript!

So basically this is the same situation as Fort Hays? Can we transfer credit into a Albany State transcript?

Well, at Fort Hays I believe it was simply a "register-transfer-drop" situation. I think at Albany, you would enroll in order to get the credit from SL on your transcript BECAUSE, they are not an open enrollment/online/for profit- they are a traditional university that will require you to apply and be accepted. You can apply as a special student (non-degree seeking) or undecided, but I think you'd have a hard time getting them to take your transfer credit if you are not enrolled in at least 1 class. I only say that because that would be more typical of a traditional college. Even the college I work at requires you to be enrolled in your first semester before they do a transfer evaluation. FWIW, the only credit you'd transfer is SL credit. There's no reason to send them anything else.
I have a question to ask you. Since you have extensvie SL credit, perhaps you'd consider applying after you're done with English 101. Simply have your SL transcript in full sent over and tell us what happens (It shouldn't matter that Fort Hays also gave you letter grades, it's not their concern). I'm curious about enrolling/vs flat out laundering. It would cost you an enrollment fee of $20, but nothing else. Best case they'd give you a letter grade for your ENG101 (and others), worse case they wouldn't give you a transcript at all.

Hi All, I haven't been here in a while! I see some new folks and ole-timers still here too.
I know the last entry in this thread is over 13 months. I'm curious, did any anyone try to launder your Straighterline credits through Albany State? Thanks!
