Racking up credits to transfer to WGU?
#15
Jwheels27 Wrote:So you apply to get transfer guidelines but don't enroll? Just curious, can you finish 90 credits reasonably fast? How about cost, has it been expensive for your son to get to this point? Sorry for bombarding with all the questions

My son attended community college last year, spring semester, so he wasted a bit of time doing that. Since May he has earned all the credits listed in my signature, for relatively little money. Study.com was done via the scholarship still going around, so those were free. He did the SL courses very quickly and we used 3 coupons, so I spent maybe $350 with them for all the courses he's taken. Saylor courses were $25 each. The most expensive has been $97.50 for the MIS course he's taking now. But compared to the community college courses, it's been super super cheap, even though his tuition was covered by a scholarship.

You can go ahead and apply to WGU - be sure to get a referral code for application fee waiver - once you do that you'll get the transfer guide and you can have your transcripts evaluated anytime you like. You just must finish all transfer courses prior to formally enrolling.
Here Researching for my son, who has done the following:
Community College: Intro to Philosophy, Fundamentals of IT, English Comp 1
Saylor: Intro to Business, Principles of  Marketing, Corporate Communication
Shmoop: US History 2 (WGU won't accept this)
ALEKS: Int. Algebra, College Algebra
Study.com: Personal Finance, Principles of Finance, HR Management, Global Business, Advanced Operations Management
Straighterline: US History 2, Environmental Science, US History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, English Comp 2, Principles of Management, Business Law, Business Ethics, Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Accounting 1,Communication, Managerial Accounting, Statistics
Ed4Credit: Managing Information Systems
Sophia: Project Management
WGU: Bachelors in HR Management 

Second son is currently attending Penn Foster for his high school diploma, then on to Ashworth for An Associates in Criminal Justice
