CP78

Hi there. I started at WCU in January and due to the pandemic..all my pre reqs were online though the Summer. I have taken a leave for medical reasons, but was told that currently all but labs for core nursing are still online. So, that includes pre reqs and core nursing classes. I plan on starting back up Nov 21. I was told by a fellow student you has moved on to begin core, that the school really wants to return fully to campus by Nov, but not sure that will happen.

Hi NurseFLowers, Which campus are you attending? I am starting at the LA campus on 1/25. Nervous and excited. Any advice is greatly apprecaited.

Hi there. I am starting at WCU Jan 2021. I have been told by my advisor that any classes taken must have officially transcripts submitted by the end of the first term (which is 10 weeks). So, yes you can be concurrently enrolled elsewhere and completing classes towards your pre-reqs. Just make sure the class will end and offer an official transcipt prior to week 10. I'm currrently taking a few pre-reqs online through straighterline. Self paced. WCU accepts up to 12 transfer credits from straighterline.

Hey there Mayhlee. How are things going for you in the process with WCU. I spoke to my admission rep today and hopefully should know the outcome of my enrollment in the next week or so. I currently registered with straighterline so that I can repeat Chemistry without paying thousands of bucks for it. I took it 12 years ago and I am just not getting it on straighterline. Do you have any advice or recommendations? I was hoping to repeat chem and physiology through straighterline. As well as complete english 2, but this is tougher than I thought.

I attended an online orientation earlier this year and it was explained that they will only take up to 12 credits from organizations like straighterline (CLEP, etc.).

Yes. You can email me at [email protected]

hi TCHU The private loans were based solely on my income. Let me know if you have any other q's. Be happy to help.

anahi - same here. I'm not sure exactly what status that means. Do you? I feel like there is some final step for acceptance, officially acceptance. I signed my financial aide papers on 9/11.

anahi28- I'm planning to start Jan NOHO. BSN program as well. I signed all my financial aide docs so I think I'm good to go. How about you?

I applied to North Hollywood campus. Straighterline is 100% online. You do not need to go through any process of applying. You simply register and then pay for the classes you want to take. From what I understand they provide the study material, tutoring, quizzes and final exams. I think the exam is proctored somehow. It is self pace. WCU accepts up to 12 credits. I priced a chem class with lab to be about $220, which includes their monthly membership fee. That is a heck of a lot cheaper than WCU and my hope it to knock out 3 classes before my Jan 2022 start date. I wouldn't have been able to do that through community college.

Thank you! I did confirm the school I am looking into will accept up to 12 trasnfer credits from WCU.

I know quite a few nurses...as my sister is an RN. I've her group of coworkers who have said that it does not seem to have a negative impact graduating from WCU. one has a family member who graduated WCU and did not have trouble finding a job. I also know a chemoinfusion nurse who told me the same. He graduated WCU and found a job right away. I'm in Ventura county and it does not seem to be an issue around here. I confirmed that mine were recevied within the same week I requested they be sent. The colleges allowed for electronic sending of the transcripts. I called my admissions counselor a few days after they were sent to confirm.

hello all. wondering if you who have recently used straighterline can tell me about how long it takes you to complete a course? I am planning to take phys, chem and eng 2 through straighterline. I know the amount of hours you can devote varies...but just a general idea please.

I received an email from ------------------------------- the registrar with an unofficial proposed schedule. I spoke to my admission counselor and she did say that they would not finalize any of transcripts review and schedule until around Nov, because they are currently working on the Nov students. The one I received was preliminary. Best of luck to you Negin. I will keep in touch to see how your start goes.

Hi All. So I have some preliminary info. WCU sent me a draft proposal of which of my prereqs were accepted. It looks like all my sciences taken at community college within the last 5 years were accepted. Also intermediate algebra at CC along with statistics taken a Los ANgeles Pacific University. I would need to retake Chemistry and physiology because I completed them over 5 years ago. Also need to complete English 2 because I have not yet taken it. I'm not enrolled yet, but looking to start in the Jan session. If so, I will take Chem, phys and english 2 through straighterline. WCU accepts up to 12 transfer from Straighterline. It's online college credit courses, at a fraction of the price compared to WCU, and it's self pace. I've done some research and found that if you are disciplined you can complete a course in about a month. Also update on financial aide- I was able to qualify for $16,000 per academic year through their own centennial scholarship. I'm super happy about that. So in the end I will get $16,000 scholarship money, $9500 federal loan and about $10,500 will come out of my pocket (annually) upfront to secure my seat. I figured that to be about $40,000 of my own between out of pocket and loans. Luckily I can also get some of that reimbursed through my employer. For me, it's worth not waiting for CC program acceptance and earning a BS in an accelerated program. Any questions..please let me know. Happy to help.
