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?

Most of your questions have been answered on previous posts/threads. Please do a search for "Straighterline" at your convenience. However I do want to add that the cost for me to transfer my credit from FHSU to Excelsior was $0.00. It was free. There was no cost to have FHSU send my transcript to Excelsior.
