straighterline courses

[irnbru]

Hi guys,

I have recently been in telephone contact with an adviser at Grand Canyon University (GCU) regarding their acceptance and transcribing of Straighterline courses.

She stated that GCU accept Straighterline courses only for matriculated students and under no circumstances would they consider someone applying and taking their credits elsewhere (after prolonged verbal wordplay and some insistent selling from GCU). No 'credit bank/repository' or equivalent service as offered by some of the 'big 3'. So for cost-effectiveness, i.e. just working out a transcript for credit from the RA college, GCU is not cost-effective.

Could anyone describe the process they took regarding submitting an application to a RA Straighterline-affiliated college and getting a Straighterline course transcribed which did not involve the cost of matriculating at that college? An application or administrative cost would be reasonable and expected; I just can't afford to spend thousands of dollars for a handful of credits.

Previous posters have noted their use of Fort Hays and this route involves only an application and administrative fee. Would any such kind soul expand on the mechanics of how this works, please?

Many thanks,

Irnbru
