$1,200 Per Course? Not with StraighterLine
Taking a single college course at a public 4-year college typically costs $1,200 for in-state students — often much more if you’re out of state or attending a private university. With StraighterLine, you can take that same course online for a fraction of the price.
No matter which plan you choose, you can save over $1,000 per course compared to taking them directly with your school. More than 350,000 students have saved a collective $300 million on tuition.

Ask Us Anything
What is StraighterLine?
StraighterLine is an online learning platform designed with your goals in mind, giving you more control over your education. Our affordable, self-paced college courses offer you the freedom and flexibility to complete classes required for your degree at your own convenience — with no timelines, deadlines, or financial stress. And the best part? Our courses are widely accepted for credit transfer at over 3,000 colleges and universities nationwide.
Why is StraighterLine so affordable?
StraighterLine offers a completely online learning experience, free from the high costs of traditional colleges and universities. By cutting out the institutional overhead, we pass the savings onto you (instead of extra costs) — providing top-quality courses at a price that fits with your budget.
How do StraighterLine’s Semester and Annual Membership plans compare to Pay as You Go?
In addition to Pay as You Go, we offer two plan options:
-
-
Semester Membership
-
Annual Membership
-
The Semester & Annual Membership plans are popular with students who want to get the most out of StraighterLine, while saving more on tuition and reducing the time it takes to get their degree by months — even years. With the Semester and Annual Membership, you get complete access to a selection of our most popular general education courses — all for just the plan price. There’s no per-course fee for classes included in the Semester and Annual Membership plans, though you do have the option to purchase courses not included in the plans individually.
The Pay as You Go plan offers a month-to-month subscription model. You pay a low monthly membership fee, plus the cost of each individual course you wish to take; ideal for anyone who only has one or two courses to complete, or is taking one course at a time.
What do I get with my membership?
No matter which membership plan you choose, StraighterLine gives you access to a selection of self-paced online courses at a fraction of the price you’d pay through your school — meaning you’ll save up to 90% per course. But that not all — membership also comes with valuable extras at no additional cost, including academic advising, 24/7 on-demand tutoring, and free transcript delivery to your school.
How quickly can I finish a course?
StraighterLine courses are fully self-paced, meaning you can work through them on your schedule, and at your convenience. Most students take a few weeks to finish, but some complete their courses in just a few days. With no set deadlines or rigid timelines, you have the freedom to study at your own pace — whenever and wherever it works best for you.
How do I transfer StraighterLine credits?
Transferring your StraighterLine credits is easy:
-
Check with your school: If you’re enrolled at one of our 180+ partner colleges, some courses are pre-approved for transfer. Plus, StraighterLine credits have also been accepted by over 3,000 colleges and universities! Even so, it’s always a good idea to confirm your school’s transfer policies before enrolling in a course.
-
Request your transcript: Once you complete a course with a 70% or higher, log into your StraighterLine account to request an official transcript. We’ll send it directly to your school at no extra cost.
-
Apply your credit: Your school will review your transcript and apply eligibility credits toward your degree, helping you move forward on your academic journey.
