Portage Learning

caliotter3 · Dec 21, 2014

Just looked at the individual course fees, they do seem to be too good to be true, certainly less than at other schools. The portage system comes under Geneva College, who issues the transcripts. They say the school is accredited, so I don't see where it would be a problem, but as with all transfer courses, I suppose one should check with the school they intend to transfer to, to make certain.

I used portage for Chem w/lab, Lifespan psych, and nutrition. I finished each class in approximately 3-4 weeks. They're seperated into modules and you have exams after each one. I thought it was very much worth the money. They also have study aids and a 24 hour hotline if you're having problems. Transcript requests are free. I'd 100% recommend it!

The Chem with the lab had two components. A lecture portion and a lab portion, where you would watch the instructor perform one or two experiments and you would take a lab quiz after watching the videos. Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

Thank you so much.

I'll see what colleges in my area accept their credits.

I might just take them over the summer. I just need chemistry and statistics, which it looks like they now have.:)

I second portage. Geneva College is accredited by middle states and classes come on a Geneva Transcript. $182 per credit hour, free tutoring, and no textbooks to buy.

Hey I was curious how the Stats were? I need to take CHem and Stats and I am nervous about taking stats online but would love to hear how it was. Do they explain how to do the problems good?

I also took several prerequisites at Portage and thought it was a great program! Just be careful because some schools do not allow transfer credit of online labs. I was applying to three schools and the community college did not allow for online lab transfers! Good Luck!

Thank you! I am going to Regis College in Weston, Ma. They will accept them. Did you take the Statistics or the CHM 108? I need to take those for the summer and was wondering how they were?

Thanks!

I didn't take either of those courses. The program I will be starting didn't require them. I can imagine they are all structured the same way, which for me was very easy to navigate and learn from. I would print out all the modules and organize all the material in a binder, that way you have the information to study from.

How hard was the chemistry course? Is an A vey possible it hard to come by. I have As so far in all my science courses. Want to hear feedback on this course's difficulty before signing up.
