StraighterLine Membership Pricing
StraighterLine can help you save on your college degree — literally. Taking our online courses can help you save money over the course of your college career, helping you reach your goals without draining the bank.
How Much Does It Cost?
To take courses with StraighterLine, students sign up for a membership and then purchase individual courses. The price of a Monthly Membership is $99, and courses start at $79. That means that the price for one course starts at just $178.
Your Membership includes:
-
- Unlimited courses: Your Monthly Membership cost stays the same no matter how many courses you take.
- Free online tutoring: Includes writing center, scheduled or drop-in
- Live support: Get the technical, membership, or course support you need from our dedicated Student Advisors.
StraighterLine Can Be Your Answer to College Costs
Our courses have been reviewed and recommended for credit by the American Council on Education (ACE), meaning that we provide courses that are generally equivalent in quality to those offered at an accredited college.
By delivering these courses online, we eliminate many of the overhead costs traditional universities face, allowing us to deliver them much closer to their actual cost.
Our high quality courses can dramatically reduce the cost of your degree, and the time it takes to get it.
Membership Renewals and Cancellations
Once you’ve enrolled in a StraighterLine membership, it will automatically renew on a monthly basis. Each month, you will be charged the subscription rate of $99.
You can cancel your membership at any time. If you choose to cancel, you’ll receive an email confirming your cancellation. Regardless of when you choose to cancel, your membership will remain active until the end of that current billing cycle. At the end of the billing cycle, your membership will expire, and you’ll lose access to our courses.
