Racking up credits to transfer to WGU?

[rowan555]

Thank you to all the people that answered my last couple of questions. But i've decided an associates degree from one of the Big Three is too expensive for a transfer into WGU. Seems more economical to rack up credits from different sources such as Straighterline then transfer them in. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Can you tell me how you went about it? And how many credits you got to transfer in? I appreciate any advice you guys can give me thank you!

This is what my son is doing - you can see the courses he has done in my signature. He's also about to add Managing Information Systems from Ed4Credit to the list - they have a 50% off one course code on this forum, good through tomorrow. WGU doesn't have a maximum number of credits for transfer - you simply follow their transfer guidelines and you're all set. My son will be transferring 90 credits in and completing 30 at WGU, hopefully in one term.

Your best bet is to go ahead and apply to WGU, then when you are assigned an enrollment counselor you can get them to send you the current transfer guidelines for your program, and they can answer course-specific transfer questions.
