Experiences with Regis University Online?

The cost might be a reason for others to pass on their programs. ($1100/credit ?)
They seem to be regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, which is good. Also their policy seems to be up to 90 transfer credits, half of credit requirements for both Major and Minor must be taken at Regis and at least 30 upper level at Regis. All unofficial, see their policies and degree requirements. Some requirements are quite specific, and might be less for your degree.
Best would be to check with your existing credits and admissions to be sure. Maybe compare with an offer at the Big 3?

Thanks for your response!  Yeah, they're crazy expensive -- $470 pch.  I'm fortunate to have an employer paying my way, so cost is not a primary concern (especially since I'm CLEPing a majority of my credits.) Unfortunately, I'm in a field with a lot of old-school employers that still frown upon the idea of online education, so I'm willing to fork out extra for a school that isn't known primarily for their online programs. (As much as it kills me...)

My biggest concern with Regis is that your assigned advisor is just a professor from your major's department. I'm not sure how common that is, but it seems like it may cause a conflict of interest at some point?

I'm also checking out Drexel, Waldorf, Clarion, and Upper Iowa University. Regis is probably lowest on my list right now. I'm also considering just sticking with SNHU, and then using my Masters to go with a local university. I love SNHU, I truly do -- I just get tired of having to explain to people that it's a 'real' university when I mention where I'm attending.
