ACE credit from Penn Foster

[Scarecrow]

Does anyone know how to get ACE to send a transcript to TESC for classes I have taken from Penn Foster? TESC will not take a direct transfer from PF!

Thanks!

From ACE themselves, feel free to ask me specific questions, I have used this in the past many time.

I was under the impression that TESC and EC both accepted classes from PFC?

BTW. Which classes are you trying to transfer over, if you do not mind me asking? I am taking a ENG 100 with them as we speak, which hopefully is already accepted by both schools. Now I am not to sure.....

I'm taking TECH Math and some criminal justice classes.

TESC does not do a direct transfer from Pen Foster bescause they are not regionally accredited. You need to have ACE transcripts sent to TESC. Once you do that TESC will award credit for the class without a grade.

Hope this helps...

Hmmm...According to TESC they will accept the credits from PennFoster for the Systems Analysis and System Design classes. I'm about to enroll for the PF classes so this may end up getting interesting.

Monday morning I am going to call up tesc and see which classes they will take across the board for their BS in CJ.

It is the cheapest alternative for me.

Here is the reply I received this morning from TESC:

"Hello Robert,

Yes if you take both courses it will complete the requirement for the System Analysis and Design I. I will plan them on your evaluation."

I have it in writing and the name of the advisor so I'm going to give it a try.

I spoke with EC today, and they would not accept any of the Penn Foster Classes that were in the 200 level, EVEN THOUGH they are the same subject and Or Class.

Victimology and Criminology are both 300 level at EC and 200 at PFC, well it was worth a try.

I received an update from TESC later in the day:

"Since Penn Foster is not regionally accredited you must have the courses you take submitted to ACE (acenet.edu) for credit and then have ACE send us a transcript to insure you will receive credit for the courses we discussed."

[bobaloo000]

All registered. Established an account on ACE and I'm just waiting for my materials from Penn.

OK, OK, Penn Foster. hilarious
