CSUN - And Straighterline not transferring.

[dfrecore]

Yeah I know that they don't ever have to accept your AA but I thought that they either do or they don't and can't pick it apart after that. I guess I was wrong. 

As far as the Straighterline and Study.com thing, I think they are extremely misleading. Study.com has a search engine and if you type in CSUN it clearly comes up as "accepted". As far as Straighterline goes they don't explicitly say that you can transfer your credits to CSUN but CUSN is listed on this page http://www.straighterline.com/how-it-wor...-transfer/ under "other schools our students plan to attend". There is a disclaimer for that section but it's still very misleading in my opinion. Why would these students be taking Straighterline courses if the colleges they are planning to attend won't accept their courses?

I couldn't find the Study.com one at all, when I typed CSUN in their search engine on their website.

As for SL, a person might take a course to brush up on things before enrolling (maybe if it's been 30 years like it has been for me).  Or they might end up at a school where they school accepts the course, but then if they transfer to CSUN, they might not take the course - but that doesn't mean that the person "planning to go to CSUN" knows that or even cares.

I didn't think it was misleading at all.

As for accepting your AA - none of the CSU schools do it the way you want.  They have articulation agreements with local CC's, and they have well-laid-out agreements that show exactly what they will bring in.  In actuality, there is nothing about an AA/AS at all with the agreements - they show the courses you need, and you bring in those 60 credits, rather than an AA/AS.  You don't need an AA/AS at all to transfer.
