Was able to complete 12 credit hours at a very affordable price and within a short timeframe. Highly recommend StraighterLine!!!
By Ryan H.
Class is great and straightforward. The final exam however is a completely different story. The third party company used for those exams (ProctorU) is worthless! So unprofessional and unrealistic. They literally make you stop every few minutes to reinspect your room and the desk you’re taking the exam on if you test virtually. Doesn’t matter if this takes your time away from your final exam. If you fail due to this issue straighterline does not care! You are told to retake the class only for the exact same thing to happen over and over again. What a JOKE!

Makes it hard for students to finish simple credits with the hoops they make you jump for extra expenses regardless if you got it or not

I like the fact that you can learn at your own pace but for hard classes like algebra there should be real teachers. I don’t like how they say they have tutors but I have never met a real live tutor face to face.

We're sorry to hear that you had a less-than-exemplary experience with us. All of our students have access to 24/7 tutoring through tutor.com and a writing center, but we'd love to hear about what other resources you think our students need.

Everything was on your own time. I passed my final exam . I just had to take one class to be able to qualify for the nursing program.

THought this was a good way to get back to College. Poor customer service. Website is confusing. Expensive for what you get. I'll go directly to the University and take online classes there.
