Online Degree Questions and Answers
How much should I expect to pay
for a Life Experience degree?
The fee for an approved degree
varies with each college or university. Generally
the range is
from $400 to $700. Some institutions offer discounts to Alumni or
students seeking multiple degrees. Review the website for the
schedule of fees,
charges and promotional offers.
Are all
Life Experience degrees the same price?
Again, this varies with each
intuition. Some have one fee regardless of degree level
–
Associates, Bachelors, Masters, etc. Other schools have separate
fees for each
degree level. There is usually an applicable
shipping charge associated with the
degree. Check the
website carefully and review the schedule of fees.
Are the degrees legal and is it
legal for me to mention it on my resume?
Yes, your degree is perfectly
legal and can be included on your resume or CV.
However, you need
to be aware that a potential employer or institution may require
a degree from a school recognized by a Regional or National accrediting
organization.
Do I get a transcript and what
does it say as far as grades?
A student record or transcript
is normally provided with the degree and includes all
relevant
courses. Grades are not used and Pass / Fail will appear on the
transcript.
Will my Employer have a Problem
with my Life Experience Degree?
Between 5 and 10 percent of
people do experience some difficulty because of life
experience
credit, or a non-traditional transcript, but this means that 90-95 percent
have no problem when it comes to job placement or career
advancement.
Will these institutions stand
by me if an employer calls for verification?
Some online college and
universities provide third party verification for employment
purposes via a fax number or mailing address. The information
provided is usually
the Degree and the Date of Graduation. A copy
of the transcript is also a possible
option for a fee depending
on the school. If this information is not posted on the
website,
check with a customer service representative to see if verification
services
are provided.
