Course Equivalency Guide
Course Equivalency Guide
The course equivalency guide is created by each partner schools’ admission/registrar department which identifies the how each accepted StraighterLine course is aligned with the school’s offered courses.
Each school’s course equivalency guide is different and a course may be accepted as a general education or higher-level course at the school depending on the course.
