Bad Bad Vibes from WGU (and an Intro of sorts)

The argument was: "No, you could have a single class left and they'd make you shell out a grand for it if you can't make for an extension. They would not let you finish a $25 Saylor Academy credit in this instance."

How is this not predatory? Where in most cases you need to shell out around a grand to finish a degree that few, if any, other universities will accept credit for. This is literally the only institution I know of besides possibly every for-profit school that has a policy. The argument was that the policy is inherently predatory in addition to their dated Boiler Room sales tactics that JoshDosMil also observed. You make me think TESU should have an elementary logic course available. Just $400 more than a grand would get you an entire term at UMPI or almost half of what it'd cost to finish at COSC.

But I guess you also missed the part where I said WGU is something people should still consider while being aware of their culture and asinine policies. Max out near 90 credits I said, and hedge against having to deal with what is a b******t and absolutely predatory policy.
