Our Support Can Be Free ....

We have a free option and a premium support option: The Free Option is available for those willing to have us identify degrees that match their unique academic accomplishments from more than 425 accredited colleges and universities offering more than 12,850 degrees at a distance in DegreeQuest, including Colleges for Working Adults (CWA) who subscribe to our system and can access student records directly, communicating with the students to to discuss the options. A counselor from HERC is assigned to each student, sends the degree plans directly and engages in counseling sessions to ensure they understand their options. A few of these colleges and universities (up to, but not more than three) may send each prospective student one or more detailed degree plans created with our DegreeQuest system, along with detailed information on their institution, and will explain what sets them apart as a great option for the student to consider. (Note: If a college or university sends you their digital brochures and other information, but forgets to send the degree plan presenting where you would likely stand toward their degree, send an e-mail to support@mylifemydegree.com and we will send you the degree plan directly.) To get started with this free support, simply fill out the application for assistance, then send your transcripts and other supporting documents either as e-mail attachments or to our toll-free fax: 866-848-4940.

Those students who opt for the free support will be given access to SOCRATES and the seminar after they have enrolled with one of the partnership colleges or universities that connected with them to present their optimal degree(s) for consideration. Some of the most sought after colleges and universities that have served the more than 190,000 students we have supported in the past subscribe to our system to support our students and can connect with students directly, giving students the most accurate information possible - straight from the source, the receiving college or university. Simply forward your welcome e-mail affirming that you have enrolled with the college to support@mylifemydegree.com and one of our counselors will set you up with access, go over the remaining requirements toward the degree you chose, and explain how the tuition-free courses linked to SOCRATES can help you earn your degree quickly and cost-effectively.

Why should you consider Premium Level Support rather than the Free Option?

We also offer a Premium Level Support for a nominal fee, which federal law allows employers to cover the cost with their existing educational benefits. (Naturally, it is up to the employer to decide if they will allow the administrative fee that we charge to be deducted from employee tuition benefits, but the return on investment that naturally results from our support certainly makes it worth the investment.). With this one time fee, we provide a lifetime of support to the students we serve, from admission to graduation for ANY college or university in the nation. That enables us to help even those employees who are attending local colleges or have already selected the college or university of their choice. We have academic policy information on hand for most of the colleges and universities across the nation, enabling our counselors to guilde employees in the use of the resources that we provide to save them time and money at their local college or university. We grant access to our student support website, SOCRATES, right up front tp Premium Level participants, which students can use to succeed at the college or university of their choice. (There are thousands of links to tuition-free courses from many of the best colleges and universities in the nation that students may use to gain the knowledge they need to earn credit by examinations accepted by more than 2,900 colleges nationwide.) Professional counselors at the HERC will guide students in the use of these resources to help them succeed at the college or university in which the student is enrolled, even if the student has no desire to consider transferring to another college. Many, however, desire to explore options to achieve their educational goals: We empower students to explore degree options from the more than 425 accredited colleges and universities offering nearly 12,850 degrees at a distance, including Colleges for Working Adults who subscribe to our system and can access student records directly, presenting them with up to five of the best options that match the students' unique academic accomplishments, needs, goals and desires. A counselor from HERC is assigned to each student, sends the degree plans directly and engages in counseling sessions to ensure they understand their options. A few of these colleges and universities (up to five) may send each prospective student one or more detailed degree plans created with our DegreeQuest system, along with detailed information on their institution, and will explain what sets them apart as a great option for the student to consider.

To make the educational support affordable to those served by this HERC initiative, we offer a 37.5% discount to our clients from the price charged to the general public, bringing the one-time cost down from $480 to only $300 - the lowest price charged to any of the numerous corporations that have been served by us over the past decade. (To reiterate: If your organization provides tuition benefits to employees, federal law allows this administrative fee to come out of your existing educational benefits. Millions of employees of the corporations we serve are able to have this administrative fee covered by their employer. We would welcome an opportunity to speak with your Human Resource office about this opportunity, should they be interested in seeing their workers empowered to earn their degrees quickly, while saving a substantial amount of time and money along the way.)
