They have several courses, it's almost perfect for those needing the 24 RA credits for general education courses.
Here's the info I dug up: https://edscoop.com/olivet-nazarene-u-launches-virtual-tuition-free-classes-for-adults/

I have too many transcripts, otherwise I'd probably do this. I've been taking one class here, one class there, wherever I could find the right class at the right price. I wonder if you really do have to send in every college transcript, or if just a high school one would do.

dfrecore did say that you only need to send in unofficial transcripts. Those don't cost anything. I added ASU and Pierpont. It asks if you have a HS diploma or GED but I couldn't figure out how to add a GED to the "list of schools". So we'll see what they make of that.

They will accept unofficial transcripts to get the ball rolling while they wait for the official ones. They do need the official ones.

Anyone know if these will transfer to ASU or SNHU?

Since these are RA credits, they should. ASU isn't overly generous with transfers, though. From what I could see last time I looked, they are quite limiting. They really want you to take everything with them. I think SNHU is slightly better but I have never looked into it directly.

The person I talked to said her daughter did not need to send the official ones. She was able to enroll without sending them.

I forget offhand, but it's in the FAQ.
Couldn't find it in the FAQ, but for what it's worth, it looks like they use Trailhead, with online exams proctored by Kryterion Sentinel Secure.

I just got my acceptance email from Olivet but it's not allowing me to log in. I'll give it a couple of hours, just in case there's still something initializing, and try again later before emailing IT.
