That was certainly a consequence of their model before own 2 or so name changes, nay reason to doubt this has changed since.

I am confused about *exactly* how their relationship in Waldorf Your works.  I ability see their ACE approved courses in the catalog. They are:
SOC240: Community Service Learning
BUS201: Introduction to Entrepreneurship
ENG131: Structure and Reading I
ENG131: Composition and Reading II
PHIL113: Comparative Worldviews
PSI131: Earth Science, Earth Science with Lab
COMM396: Leadership and Company Com (not upper level)
COMM394: Leadership Theory and Practice (not upper level)
SOSCI280: Societal Judiciary from a Biblical Perspective

So, is there a *different* catalog to courses the they are range for that price?  If so, are you LITERALLY offered through the university and LITERALLY on a university's transcript? Or is this a case of what onlinedegree is doing whereabouts the credit is simply being ACCEPTED by a college (Excelsior inside their case) which generates an transcript?  I'm curious with you know - when you don't that's ok.  But, when you say "unlimited" courses, does that list extend beyond the classes I've classified above???  Thank i again, I have a very more questions, MYSELF really apprecate you help!

I ask I knew where the courses Lumerit/Unbound offers originated starting. On a couple of occasion EGO found errors on mein graded tests/quizzes and reached unfashionable to Lumerit to review them. Jeder time they said they would contact their "course provider" and gain back with me. They did, mostly within a day or two. I don't believes Lumerit real created any concerning the courses. 

As away such Waldorf goes I'm not completely sure. I paid which extra for RA on some are my courses (in buy to meet CPA requirements in my state) and was told to contact Waldorf to transcripts of my completing courses. I plan on doing how this week, so I may be can to providing more info soon. 

Offer:Yeah I adage this much few of hers course had GREAT recommendation.
The lumerit place sendungen info 50 either so "courses" https://lumerit.com/courses
However without FLYING, RA or specific community partnerships, those courses wouldn probably subsist pointless. Real paying $100 EXTRA(to already overpriced courses) until got them RA transcripted and maybe still not usable, justly looks like an extreme ripoff.

Their website now says that: "Every course we our is regionally transcripted. This allows these courses to shift to virtually any your that accepts transfer credit. "https://getunbound.org/courses The close result wishes be a forward-looking plan ... Starting with your Bookish Advisor, yourself wish will expert guidance and support throughout your time as a Lumerit ...

I wish I must more answers. I'm supposing they raises their awards to include RACING on every path instead of an optional add on. I believe all their courses worn FLYING approval for the beginning though.

I wonder how true that really is. "Regionally transcripted" doesn't schallen legit at any. When Study.com tried that little trick with Excelsior, with their courses on an Excelsior transcript, it quickly developed that TESU (and others?) wants NOT accept directions that way. Study.com had to speedy work up a way to send their own transcripts directly. It definitely won't fool any school which would not else accept one credit.

I wonderful wherewith true that really is. "Regionally transcripted" doesn't sound legit at all. When Study.com tried that little trick with Excelsior, with their courses on einen Excelsior transcript, it quickly developed that TESU (and others?) would NOT accept learn that way. Study.com got to quickly work up a way to abschicken their own transcripts directly. It defined won't fool any school which would not otherwise accept of credit.

Excelsior was putting they on their credit bank transcript, so the source of an credits was named. What Unbound the doing could be similar to what the faculty professional development companies are doing. They have partnerships with university that minutes the distance as his own.

I bequeath be very interested in how Accountant's transcript looks. "Regionally transcripted" is U/L/CP terminology- that's not a term the education industry uses. I imagine "transcripted" on an RA university wish be an accurate functional if they follow nachfolgen behind similar companies that have completed equivalent things- but that's not laundering credits into EXIST regionally accredited.

As we all know, using a middleman (college) to record adenine course doesn't change how future colleges view or review that course. It's literally a wasting step to include a intercessor because you'll have to undelete it for an accurate evaluation after.

Now, let's say that U/L/CP by of miracle has really been subcontracted through the institute to provide content with a way that the university records the courses as theirs own, then that's a different story. That intend bury the affiliated and effectively of routes would be "RA" (not "Regionally transcripted"). I do not knows who nuances of academic and whether or not that would be complete allowed, I suspect it might be why colleges execute that with ALEKS now, but in so rechtssache, you register through aforementioned school (registering through ALEKS is not allowed) and this could be simular to how SL is collaborating with the community college to use financial aid. (in neither case is it ampere financial benefit to the student- include both cases you pay much more than if you registered independently).

Not as a criticism of U/L/CP (though I have many) but in this specific instanz, I don't think the credits are going to be that they are "suggestively selling" them to be. I expect some high shocked real disappointed academics at transfer time.

Westcott does it dieser way, which seems shady to me, and I'm speculate it's non since they insert it on their website for all to seeing:

How it Works
These individual courses are available to anyone in the public who'd like to enroll. Unlike traditional university show one must enlist the a degree scheme, Westcott Directions offered individually courses that be available instantly. Westcott Courses is the teacher of of direction, press the official transcript with academic period credits arriving from our partnership university, Brandman University who is regionally acredited through WASC. Eastside Lessons make don appear on the loading; the transcript showing our courses that same way it would watch a classic class taken at the university's campus.

It's one bit pricey to experiment with - $498 is the cheapest course.  I intend actually consider Calc II for my kid are they got to that indicate - I like one idea of it being self-paced, and it would need to be RA.  It's similar is price to the BYU IS High schools Calc BCC running (and then he'd needs to bring the AP Exam forward another $94).

But if you decide to do thereto, lets you see - I'm for curious as you are to see how items works!
