You've Got Questions, We Have Answers
What is StraighterLine?
We’re an online education platform built around your goals so that you can call the shots when it comes to your education. We offer affordable, self-paced college courses — meaning you can take classes required for your degree without worrying about timelines or deadlines, and without breaking the bank. Plus, credits from our courses easily transfer to many colleges and universities.
Why is StraighterLine so affordable?
We keep things simple — the courses we offer are fully online, meaning we don’t have all the overhead costs associated with traditional colleges (which colleges then pass on to you). This makes it possible for us to deliver high-quality, self-paced courses to you at their most affordable price.
Are there any application fees or admission requirements?
Nope! No application requirements or application fees here — you’re free to dive in and start learning whenever you’re ready.
How do I transfer StraighterLine credit?
StraighterLine courses have been accepted for credit at 3000+ institutions, including the majority of colleges in every state. You can easily request a StraighterLine transcript be sent to your school at any time through your dashboard. Just a heads up: It's always a good idea to check with your school in advance to figure out which StraighterLine courses line up with your degree requirements.
What is included in a StraighterLine course?
Everything you need to succeed — eTextbooks, tutoring, practice tests, and a dedicated support team are all included! While course topics and materials may vary, each course includes reading assignments, lesson presentations, review and reflection activities, homework assignments, and more to help you nail the key concepts and finish strong.
How does StraighterLine membership work?
Before enrolling in your course(s), you’ll need to activate your StraighterLine membership, which is just $99 per month.
Membership unlocks access to over 75 college courses for a fraction of the price you’ll pay to take them directly with your college or university.
Plus, StraighterLine membership comes with perks and resources that will keep you on track towards your degree, including:
-
Personalized academic advising and course mapping
-
10 free hours of on-demand online tutoring
-
Exam proctoring

Real human support for any bumps along the way
