I'm sad WGU is only for US citizens. I hear lots of good things about it but can't join in.

Yes, I'm wondering if there are alternatives outside the US to get a full undergraduate or master's degree online at your own pace.
The UK has Open University which has been around for a long time (since 1969) and has a really good reputation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_University
In Canada, Thompson Rivers University offers a bachelor's in computer science as a fully distance option. On the French language side, Université TÉLUQ (part of the Université du Québec network) also offers a BS in CS.
Oregon State has a online BSCS program
A few Canadians can sneak in, depending on location.
I saw a blog post a few years ago about a Canadian dude getting an exception to go to WGU. You might just email WGU and ask if you can get an exception.
