What Kind of Support Does Membership Include?
Student support is another one of the main perks for StraighterLine membership. Here’s what’s included in those services:
The Benefits of Membership
Your $99 monthly StraighterLine membership (which is less than the cost of the average college textbook), unlocks access to the following:
-
-
75+ ACE-accredited online college courses at their most affordable price.
-
Savings of more than 90% on cost per credit hour.
-
180+ partner schools guaranteed to transfer your StraighterLine credits directly.
-
The opportunity to transfer credits to thousands of schools. 3,000+ colleges and universities have reviewed and accepted StraighterLine credits.
-
Official transcripts verifying your completed courses, final letter grades, and credits earned.
-
Student success services and support.
-
Your monthly membership cost stays the same no matter how many StraighterLine courses you take. With your membership, you can purchase an unlimited amount of courses, most of which range from $79-$99 each.
Members Save 90% on Courses
=The game-changing benefit of membership is that students save 90% or more on the cost per credit hour of their courses by taking them online with StraighterLine.
Consider this: The average StraighterLine course costs less than $30 per credit hour compared to $400 per credit hour for in-state students at the average public four-year university. The cost per credit hour for out-of-state students at public four-year universities and students at private universities is even higher.
With StraighterLine, you can earn credits for courses equivalent to those offered at brick and mortar universities at a fraction of the price. You can then transfer those credits towards your degree at the school of your choice.
The Numbers Add Up, Save Thousands with StraighterLine
By delivering college courses online, we eliminate many of the overhead costs traditional universities face, allowing us the opportunity to offer them to you much closer to their actual cost. Our courses can dramatically reduce the cost of your degree, and the time it takes to get it.
Here’s where you can calculate how much you could potentially save based on the number of courses you take with StraighterLine.
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.
