It looks like that's only if you're wanting to get credit for prior learning.
Quote:Students desiring to submit portfolio(s) for credit evaluation must meet with the Program Coordinator for direction and must be enrolled in the program. A $300.00 portfolio fee and $10.00 per credit hour acceptance fee is charged for each portfolio submitted and credit granted after evaluation.
Transcripts are not a portfolio.
I was talking about this excerpt from their website:
"Beginning Spring 2019, a $300 transcript evaluation fee may be charged to students who have no institutional residency from West Virginia colleges."
Wow. I'm glad I jumped on it when I did. Mine was basically free except for the cost of the few transcripts I sent in. I get it, though. They spent time and effort and expense to give me a free degree and I'm not even a resident of their state to enrich their economy. That's what this program is designed for. Get people with 63(?) college credits and get them a degree, so they can get employed or advancement, make more money, and spend that money in West Virginia.
I honestly would have been happy paying $300, though. That's a steal for an RA degree with no residency requirement. I'm never going to be able to send in transcripts anywhere, but I'm glad I did it for personal enrichment. I've spent so long in college it just feels good to finally say I have some sort of degree.
