Help with straighterline credit transfer process Please - Bsmith4 - 07-09-2012
Hi ive been reading around and it seems like the easiest way to get straighterline credits would be through Fort Hays. Can anyone walk me through that process please. When I enroll my self into Fort Hays am I suppose to enroll myself as a virtual freshman or virtual transfer. Your help would be very appreciated thank you.

Hi Bsmith4,
I'm not entirely familiar with Fort Hays, but after poking around their site it seems like your best bet would be to apply as a transfer. The reasoning behind this is because you are in fact transferring credits over from another college, in this case straighterline. However, you did not clarify in your post if you plan on getting your degree through Fort Hays. This information might change which type of enrollment you should choose.
However, best policy is always to ask a school representative, preferably in the admissions department. Here is the phone number to their admissions office directly: 785-628-5666.

Where do you intend to use them? An ACE transcript and/or the college you hope to use the credits is where they need to go. The old days of cycling SL through FH to achieve are gone, FH no longer does this. Unless you intend to enroll at FH there is no need to send them anything.

SL is NOT a college, and has no such designation. SL is a private business that offers classes that schools can select to accept. SL has no accreditation whatsoever they are not a college.
If the OP intends to enroll at FH it makes sense to send the credits there, otherwise there is no benefit to doing so.

An excellent observation and clarification. I'd been putting SL and Penn-Foster in the same boat in my mind for some reason. Clearly a mistake, thank you for catching it and putting it straight.

When working with the Big 3 the effect is that SL might as well be another college. But stepping away from there the correlation changes. Since we don't know the OP's intent I felt it important to point out the difference.
I appreciate what you where trying to say
