Which Program Is Right For Me?
We have three programs that are designed to meet our students' needs for flexibility and savings. Regardless of which plan you choose you have complete flexibility while going through the online college course material and when you access the courses. The material covered, access to our tutors, and the credit transfer process is identical for all three plans.
So if you are not sure which plan is right for you, let us help you.
College Courses Online for $99/Month
This plan is the most cost effective method for completing online college courses and earning the credit you need for your college degree. With this program you pay only $39 for each additional course you start as long as you stay in the $99/month access program. This program is ideal if you:
- are trying to complete multiple online college courses (Remember each additional course is only $39.)
- plan to finish a single course in less than four months
- want access to your course after you complete the course requirements
- hope to save up to 90% on your first year of college tuition
- intend to start online college classes but have some hesitation about online learning (worst case is you don’t enjoy the model and only pay for one month – this almost never happens)
This is our most popular option. Students who sign up for monthly access can save thousands of dollars on their college education.
Note: Monthly billing occurs on a 28-day cycle.
Freshman Year of College for $999
The “Freshman Year of College for $999” program is designed to help college students and their families address rampant rising tuition costs of college education. Students can take up to 10 StraighterLine courses for a single fee of $999 and realize savings of more than 90% versus the first-year tuition at many colleges. This program works best if you:
- Want to earn up to a full freshman-year equivalent of college credits before you enroll in college to complete a degree
- Have a tight college budget – you save the most money with the greatest flexibility on this plan
- Prefer not to think about per course or monthly access fees.
- Enjoy a flexible lifestyle and want to take your time going through the material (you have 12 months of access to all the courses)
- Are ready to get started before getting to campus, while working or juggling your other obligations
This is our most innovative option. Students who sign up for freshman year for $999 can save thousands of dollars on their college education and still get all the other great benefits of StraighterLine’s online college courses.
Individual Course Purchase - $399
If you are not interested in paying a monthly fee then the individual online college course purchase option is right for you. You can still save thousands of dollars compared to other college courses. This program is ideal if you:
- want to take your time (up to six months of access) going through the course without worrying about monthly fees
- only need one or two courses (you can always take as many courses as you want but they will cost a bit more in this model)
- are thinking about online college courses then this is a great way to test the waters while minimizing your costs
