Our Solutions

StraighterLine offers four solutions to help colleges and universities attract, retain, and graduate more students. By partnering with StraighterLine, you can guarantee a seamless transfer experience for students and better meet the needs of today’s learner.

Articulation Partners

Schools can sign an agreement to articulate StraighterLine courses into their existing curriculum to encourage prospective and current students to purchase StraighterLine courses to accelerate enrollment or degree attainment.

 

This solution is popular with schools that are wanting to provide students with simplified access to alternative credit providers.

 

Articulation Partners receive a dedicated landing page in the searchable Colleges section of StraighterLine.com. Landing pages feature your school’s specific Course Equivalency Guide.

 

By becoming an Articulation Partner, you streamline the credit transfer process for prospective and current students.

 

There is no cost involved to become an Articulation Partner.

Academy Program

Schools can create an extension of their course offerings through a co-branded “Academy” powered by StraighterLine for distinct student populations.

 

This student success-focused solution is ideal for institutions that want to create a targeted program such as earned admissions, college readiness for returning learners, or a summer bridge, but may not have the financial and/or staff resources to build its own program from the ground up.

 

With an Academy Program, your school would receive preferential subscription rates, recruiting support to help attract qualified students, reporting on Academy student progress, and the support of a dedicated account manager.

 

As an Academy Program partner, you would streamline the enrollment process for the targeted populations your school is wanting to impact. Schools have the option of creating a student-paid program for pre-enrollment academies or an institution-paid program for academies that focus on post-enrollment needs.

Direct Enroll

Schools can also purchase at a volume discount Direct Enroll of any StraighterLine course for a flat fee.

 

This solution is used by schools to help solve scheduling or faculty shortage issues by extending to students a select offering such as a popular prerequisite or a course not offered by the institution.

 

With Direct Enroll, you dictate exactly which identified course students will take within a specified time period. Your school benefits from a discounted rate, monthly reporting on student progress, and account support.

 

Schools have the option of doing Direct Enroll as either a student- or institution-paid offering.

Degree Pathways

Build a clearly defined degree pathway for students by combining StraighterLine general education and prerequisite courses with your school's degree-specific requirements.

 

Our Degree Pathways partner schools recognize the need to shift the focus from just degree attainment to career advancement. Schools most commonly choose to outline pathways to careers in high demand areas, such as education and healthcare.

 

When you create a degree pathway with StraighterLine, students can clearly see the core classes required for a specific degree and identify gaps in their transcripts as they plan the next step.

 

How exactly does it work? Students take a set number of gen ed and/or prerequisite courses with StraighterLine, then complete their upper level degree-specific courses with your school to earn their associates or bachelor's degree.

We created our admission process for our Earned Admission students alongside StraighterLine. It wasn't something we just adopted. It really matched with our mission and goals and alignment with USU. StraighterLine is part of our team.
