Quote:CollegePlus is basically an advisor. They have someone help you map out your degree template, give you suggestions on which order to take certain courses, help you choose electives, provide study resource suggestions for courses, guide you through the enrollment process, etc. You have a coach assigned to you that you can ask questions of any time and you speak together on the phone periodically (usually I just do it once a month) to see how you're doing, what things you need help on, etc. The coach is both an advisor and, to some extent, a means of accountability.
If you're already enrolled in a college and already have an advisor, you wouldn't need them. But if you're feeling your way along in the dark on your own and wish somebody could kind of hold your hand and give you some direction, College Plus is helpful.
I know I'm walking on razor thin ice here so I'll tread carefully. From what you've written, and what I've read on this and other forums, it would seem that all they do is what a student counselor does for free. I followed the above link and found that their service cost $2599.00:eek: or the cost of appx. 43 CLEP or Dantes tests.
CollegePlus!
Is there something else they do to earn this money besides talk?...like take the test for you?
Just trying to get my mind around the reason to use them. I'm sure other people here have the same question. EC counselors talked to me before I was even a student there...for free.No offence meant, like cinderly, I am very curious. Lee
