You don’t need to register with Western Governors University (WGU) before enrolling in Study.com courses — but it’s smart to coordinate your plans with WGU first.
Before enrolling in Study.com courses, it’s a good idea to:
Review the WGU–Study.com transfer guide to see which courses apply to your intended WGU degree program.
Contact a WGU enrollment counselor to confirm how specific Study.com courses will transfer.
Determine a study plan that keeps you on schedule - Study.com courses are self-paced and can be completed in as little as a few days!
