Just FYI, I spoke with one of the representatives at WGU and you have to complete at least 30% of the program at WGU or you'll have to repeat courses. I'm not sure if this common knowledge here but its the first I've heard of it.

I don't think this is right.

BUT, even if that were the case, I guess you could repeat a course that you already took once, that would certainly make it easy to pass quickly!

When you're looking at taking courses to transfer to WGU, you really have to weigh the options. You want to take as many classes as possible to make it easy to get through in 1 (or 2) term(s), but you don't want to overpay for something that you could easily do through WGU. So you play with the number until it makes sense. You also want to play with exactly which courses you take through WGU vs. outside of them. You want to leave your 30cr there as the best in terms of speed and cost outside of the degree. Like, you probably don't want to take English Comp I & II there, when you could do a single CLEP to take care of that. On the other hand, Critical Thinking is supposed to be very easy there, so you may want that in your WGU plan to give you an easy course.

Are you sure they didn't say 30 credits? It's been known here for some time that you could only transfer in 90 credits and had to take 30 at WGU. That's why it is not one of the "Big4".

Perhaps he meant to say 30 credits, but he definitely said 30%. Here is his email response.
