Why do WGU and WGU Academy use competency units?

A: WGU uses “competency units” because it emphasizes learning instead of only seat time to reflect the scope of each course. WGU Academy uses “credits” because more students are likely to transfer their courses to schools that are more familiar with credits. In many ways the two are equivalent. Because there’s a seamless integration between WGU and WGU Academy, there’s an easy path to transfer Academy credits into WGU competency units; students can send their Academy transcript to WGU with little more than a click of a button. Sending Academy transcripts to other institutions is, frankly, a bit more complicated but not burdensome.

Is WGU flat rate?

A: The simple answer: to lower the cost and risk for Academy students. WGU’s flat-rate tuition covers a full 6-month term. Academy’s is month to month. And the tuition is amazingly low.

Does WGU Academy offer financial aid?

A: Regular federal financial aid is not available to WGU Academy students, although those who go on to WGU are likely to be aid eligible.

Academy does try to make paying the low monthly tuition as affordable as possible and scholarships are available to those who qualify. Speak to an Academy Enrollment Counselor if you have questions about aid.
