Straighterline partnering with TESC and Excelsior

[Professor_Adam]

Well, that's my goal. I sent an email to that effect to Jenifer Dehart (dehartj@straighterline.com), whom some of you know from Straighterline.

She says if there's enough evidence of students transferring Straighterline credits (through FHSU or other means) to TESC or Excelsior she can probably work toward getting those schools to partner directly with Straighterline. I think this is a great opportunity for those of us on the boards. She would like those of us that have done this or who are going to do it to email her and let her know.

Here pasted below is our exact conversation:

Jenifer,
Is there any chance that Straighterline can reach agreements to
partner with Excelsior College and Thomas Edison State College soon?
Many of the nontraditional students on this forum (degreeforum.net)
use those colleges. It would be of GREAT benefit if you had
partnerships with those two colleges in particular and many on that
discussion board echo my sentiments. For instance, I would gladly take
ECON I and II and Accounting I right now if I knew they would transfer
directly to TESC because I am working on a B.S. in Business
Administration with them right now. Thanks.

Adam

Her response:

Hi Adam,
I agree it would be awesome if we were able to partner with those
schools you mentioned, because I have heard a few students say they were
eventually sending the credits there. I'm not sure that our marketers
are specifically looking at these schools, but if I could determine how
many students we have had come through here that attend Excelsior and
TESC, that data might encourage them to seek a partnership. I'm going
to talk with our director and see what he thinks about me soliciting
this information from our students.
If you know of specific StraighterLine students who sent their
credits to Excelsior or TESC, let me know their names or emails. I'll
start compiling this info and see what we can do. Thanks for the
encouragement to look into this. Sometimes all people need is a little
push.
