WGU and Canadians

[posabsolute]

Since I applied to WGU well before they decided to change their policy I decided to try my way into it, unfortunately, that did not work, I think the details she gave me made sense, basically, their issue with Canadians is that a higher percentages were not finishing the programs.

Here is the official response I got:

At the present time, Western Governors University is not accepting applications from persons living outside the United States (unless you are an active-duty U.S. serviceperson or spouse of a serviceperson stationed at an overseas U.S. installation).
Reaching this decision was not easy. It derives from WGU's commitment to provide superior service to all students. Unfortunately, differences in time zones, problems locating secured, proctored testing centers, and difficulty providing high-quality mentoring create barriers to delivering adequate service to international students.
As the University grows, our ability to address these challenges will improve and the issue will be revisited.
