75% of credits

[oram3189]

I have it mapped out so I can transfer 89 credits into the WGU BSIT.  This will require me to take 32 credits through WGU.  I read that 75% is the max they accept and anything over gets your application denied.  I wonder what possible back up I might have if I made an error and had too many credits to transfer into WGU.  Does anyone have suggestions for what online schools to have as a backup?  I have my A+, Net+ and Sec+ from comptia and soon will have the AAS BOG from Pierpont.

The worst case scenario where you accidentally have too many credits you would just have to request that they remove a course from your transfer evaluation.

WGU will only place up to 75% or 90 credits into a 120 credit degree, you don't have to worry about what they do with the excess, it'll not be in the equation and placed under the 'other' classes field of acceptable transferred credit. Many people transfer well over 75% or 90 credits, they just apply ones that are applicable to the degree and max that out, that's basically it...

I have a similar question for TESU:
 
Will TESU put those excessive credits (I have a prior associate degree and a lot of Sophia/study ACE credits, so my credits might be more than 120) under the “other courses” category in my final transcript? Or will these excessive credits just not be shown on my final transcript? Thank you.
 

 
BTW, I really love your picture of “I have to study”, this is also a very good reminder to me every time I see it.

The reason I am asking the above question is because that I recently learned from UMPI that they do not have a limit of transfer credits in their final transcript as long as I transfer those credits before my enrollment.
So it means that I can transfer all the RA/ACE etc. credits into UMPI if I want to, even if those credits are not related to my future degree.
 
But once I enroll in UMPI, UMPI will only allow those credits related to my degree to be transferred.
 
The advantage of the above UMPI transfer policy is that I can use UMPI transcript as a container which I can put all my credits into it. It might be useful for my future graduate application.
 

 
So I am wondering, does TESU have the similar policy or not?
(So far TESU BACS degree is the one I’d like to pursue most.)

TESU puts all of your transfer credits on the external transcript.

You can transfer credits to UMPI while you're an enrolled student. They will still accept courses that aren't required for your degree program to be transferred in. You can transfer 2000 credits to UMPI. The most that will be applied to your degree is 90 credits. Everyone must complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI and meet residency requirements which vary by degree. Some students transfer in far more than 90 credits and still don't have 90 credits  applied to their degree program because those credits don't apply to the what is needed to complete the degree. When it comes to graduate applications, they still want official transcripts to show where your courses came from. If you utilize financial aid, the transcripts are required as well.

I suggest the University of Phoenix. This school is known for its flexibility and diverse programs, University of Phoenix offers a variety of IT degrees, including BSIT.
