The calculus course videos bear no relationship to the ungraded or graded quizzes I’m asked to complete for each section. I am forced to find outside resources to complete the quizzes. I googled and saw this is a common problem people have with your course. Should have googled that before I paid, but here we are. Why am I paying for this if I have to build my own curriculum and teach myself to your test rather than use resources I’m supposed to have paid for?

StraighterLine has one of the largest transfer networks in the alternative credit space, with hundreds of partner institutions that have agreed to accept our courses for transfer credit.
Transfer acceptance ultimately depends on each receiving institution’s policies, which can change over time. We strongly encourage students to contact their school’s academic advisor or registrar’s office prior to enrolling to confirm transfer eligibility.
I had a great experience with… Affordable, Flexible, and Supportive Learning Platform
I had a great experience with StraighterLine. The courses were well-structured, easy to follow, and perfect for self-paced learning. The customer support team was responsive and helpful whenever I had questions. I really appreciated the flexibility of studying anytime and transferring credits easily. Highly recommended for anyone looking to complete college credits affordably and conveniently.

We’re sorry your experience wasn’t a positive one. We know how frustrating it can be when something doesn’t work the way you expected — whether that’s related to coursework, grading, billing, or credit transfer.
That’s never the experience we aim to provide. We’re always working to make our processes clearer and more consistent, and feedback like this is an important part of that.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and please reach out to our customer support directly if there's anything we can do to help.
Fast and easy
I purchased 5 courses and later found out that two of the courses transferred in from my previous studies. I contacted customer service and they switched the two courses with two other courses I could complete. Going at my own pace has allowed me to complete two courses within a month while working on my third course at the same time. It’s super fast and easy. My school has already received the transcripts and approved the courses.

There is no sense in taking an online class if there going to treat the final exam like an in class room test. I have young kids I will never be able to be a a room by myself to take an exam. This was a waste of my time and money. For the final exam they want you to scan your room to make it's only you and they monitor your company with a person on the other side treating it like an in class exam. Never again!!!

We understand that proctored exams can feel stressful — especially when technical issues are involved.
Since your experience, StraighterLine has moved away from ProctorU and introduced a new proctoring solution designed to be more streamlined, reliable, and student-friendly. While prior proctoring methods have been phased out, final exams are administered in a secure environment to ensure a fair and consistent experience. Maintaining academic integrity is still important to us, but we’ve worked to improve communication around exam expectations and reduce technical friction wherever possible.
If you’d like to share more about what happened, we’re happy to review your experience directly and take a closer look.
Completed in a short time fram
I was able to get the classes done in a short time frame that I had. I had two lab classes and they're a lot of fun.

Environmental Science Review
Class was easy to do and assignments were easy to complete. It was great for me to be able to work at my own pace with no deadline.

Worst curriculum ever. No response when reported.
I took statistics. There were issues in the course curriculum right away. I addressed it with their online report and made phone calls. No one ever handled it or addressed me back. I’m not a genius in math, but my understanding is there are pretty hard and fast rules for math. You shouldn’t get three answers for one question. One from them one from their provided tutor and one from AI. The actual university that I am going to will not even accept their credits after May 2025. When I requested a credit for the fee fees, they blindly turned away again. Hands-down one of the worst online classes that I’ve ever taken. If I could give less than one star I would. Don’t waste your money or your time it’s a scam.

Would not recommend
While this class gave me the flexibility I needed, I did not enjoy it. The lessons are not helpful and do not prepare you for the exams.

Awful experience
Awful experience. The course closed June 2023 and they are still charging me to this day. The website does not offer a card payment change option. I have called and emailed customer service and nothing.
