what is the main difference between Alexs and Straighterline?

They ( Excelsior) also accepts credits from other regionally accredited colleges, so I think the people are getting a transcript from one of the partner schools and having that sent to Excelsior.

Thanks for the reply. I am guessing there is a cost to "bank" credits with these other schools if you are not enrolled there, so this cost should be factored in to the $99 deal. Sort of like FEMA where it is free but to get the credits transferred it's $60 per credit.

Paying to get credits transferred kills the deal for me. I'm not saying it isn't a good program and it sounds like it is (letter grades are a definitie bonus), but not for me. Easier and cheaper to stick with CLEPS. $100 and an easy transfer.

I guess the better question is does anyone have direct experience with getting Straighterline credits transferred to EC and what did it cost approximately?
