Hello! I transferred schools and had to take a semester off from physically attending an institution during the transfer. During that time I took classes online through StraighterLine as the result of poor advice from an advisor (anyone reading this DO NOT take courses at StraighterLine, they are not a real college or university and they do not award real credits, only transfer credits; it's a nightmare). Is there anyone out there who has taken classes with StraighterLine and has been able to add those credits to your OptomCAS application? I am really struggling because it's not a real college that I've attended and their 'official' transcript does not include credit values. I'm not sure how to go about this.

Thank you in advance!
