Charter Oak was the ONLY choice. I was finishing my BS after many years of occasional courses. They gave me credit for what I had done and worked out an individual plan for me. Graduation was fabulous. We had people in our class of 700 from every state in the country. The price of matriculation was small compared to the time and expense of having to take courses all over again at some local university that wanted to put their name on my degree.

Once you pay the $1,080 matriculation fee, their so concerned about getting they did just about nothing for me. They have no reason to charge this fee. They have a cornerstone course which helps you plan your major which costs $600,so your paying twice. Also, they indicate they'll transfer up to 90 credits you need for your major. They transfer all credits from your transcripts, even culinary classes, keyboarding and very old old computer courses you can't apply toward a degree. They transfered a course where I learned Lotus 123 and Word perfect. I still needed to take a more current computer course. I understand I need an updated course, but don't give me credit for it and useless culinary courses and also a typing course from years ago. Financial aid only covers up to 180 credits and then you have to pay out of pocket completely so you don't need to transfer useless courses. Be very careful about what you need and what they transfer. They didn't pay attention to transfering only what I need and once I missed the 30 day deadline to have classes removed I didn't need, they did very little to assist me further about the matter. I was still planning my major in my Cornerstone course when I missed the deadline. The instructors are great and it's definetely not a degree mill. The instruction is very good and the the instructors are enthusiastic and caring.
