Alternative Credit Project
#1
ACE has really hit a homerun with this. Their intuitive drop down menu allows you to locate ACE evaluated courses and find guaranteed transfer agreements. LOVE LOVE LOVE this new site. Their address for the interactive page ACE - Alternative Credit Project | The Alternative Credit Project: Degree Completion Planning

Here is a copy/paste list:

Alternative Credit Project™ Course List

On October 21, 2015, the American Council on Education announced the 111 low- or no-cost, lower-division general education courses that would be included in the Alternative Credit Project. More than 160 courses were initially submitted by the 7 non-accredited providers in early 2015 for consideration.
The 7 non-accredited providers selected to join the project include: Ed4Online; edX; JumpCourse; Pearson Learning Solutions; Saylor Academy; Sophia Learning; StraighterLine.
From the pool of submitted courses ACE, with institutional input, selected courses aligned with high-demand lower-division subject areas to undergo ACE’s credit recommendation process. The final pool of courses was based on the outcomes of the ACE faculty evaluation teams and institutional acceptance rates.
Students can select courses and determine which colleges and universities accept specific courses by visitingwww.AlternativeCreditProject.com.

I saw COSC and TESC on the list of participating schools, but I didn't see Excelsior. Anyway, this is nice because some of the non-NCCRS-approved or non-ACE-approved Saylor courses are on the list.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.

Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.

Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.

Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.

Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

That does not mean that TESC does not accept ALEKS. It just means that ALEKS is not part of the Alternative Credit Project. If you have college-level credits on your ACE transcript (like ALEKS), you would still be eligible for credit for them at TESC.
BA, MA, EdS, MMT, etc.
83 hours of ACE-worthy credits
