Straighterline Freshmen year bundle

[Daithi]

I had one more thing I wanted to add that I just learned a few minutes ago.

I have done seven StraighterLine courses; I have two more courses in my bundle of 10 courses that I haven't started yet; I also have one open course left that I still need to purchase. I called StraighterLine to see if I could swap out the two courses I hadn't started with different courses. I was told no. However, I was also told that I could still purchase additional courses that I could complete within my one year period. In other words, your Freshman Bundle is good for one year to complete 10 courses, but you are not limited to just 10 courses. You can take as many courses as you can pass in that year; you just have to pay for the additional courses but not any additional monthly fees. This could be a pretty big savings if you can complete a lot of courses.

I could easily see someone using StraighterLine to take 20 courses in a year. That's $1300 for the Freshman Bundle with its 10 courses, plus $500 for 10 more courses. This is a total of $1800 for 20 courses if you can complete them within a year. That's only $30 a credit. If you can knock out 30 courses in a year it is a total cost of $2300 or $25.56 a credit.

With all that said, I'd still send them an email telling them you are thinking of purchasing the Freshman Bundle, but want to make sure you can still purchase additional classes before your year is up and that you won't be limiting yourself to just 10 classes. In other words, get it in writing.
