WGU Now accepting North Carolina Applicants

In the event that there is someone like me out there on this forum (A NC resident that was interested in WGU), WGU has now received approval from the State of NC to begin enrolling NC residents. According to the email I received this is for all programs. Just FYI.

I received that email as well. I just spoke with an enrollment counselor again, to get my final info set to submit my application.

They weren't accepting NC residents before?

No because a lot of states have deemed WGU another fly by night school/scam.

Care to cite the sources for that allegation?

They suspended enrollment in North Carolina some time ago. I was in the process of applying when it happened so I was not able to attend. I was on the fence anyways since my enrollment guy was being overly aggressive.

It halted enrollment because they did not get approval from the state university system.

Glad to see approval was made though.
