I think I've come across one school that has 8 to 16-week self-paced courses, but they are offered within traditional semesters. This is why their courses qualify for financial aid. The combination of LifePace charging per credit hour, not qualifying for financial aid, and charging extra after 10 weeks is just off-putting to me.

BYU gives students one year to complete a course, and I've seen many other schools give 6 months or an entire semester.

10 weeks is short, and it's hard to figure out the fees for going over.  Finally found it:
15 days $25
30 days $50
60 day $100
YIKES!

You also have to pay proctoring fees yourself (either ProctorNow or test center fees).

At $230/cr, the cost isn't terrible, especially if it was an RA school.  Instead, you're better off doing ACE/NCCRS...

Columbia Southern University bought the regionally accredited Waldorf College (now Waldorf University), so students can transfer credits there. They also have articulation agreements with some RA colleges, but I agree. You'd be better off doing ACE or NCCRS. More schools would probably accept those credits. LOL.
