Am I understanding this correctly about Shmoop and TESU?

Any advice on where we should go from here?  Is it worth it to look into other schools?  He was going for his Professional Studies degree as he liked the mix of business with humanities type classes and that would help him the most in his future.  It doesn't seem like there are any other degrees like that at COSC and EC.  

Is it worth it to jump back on the Aleks courses or will TESU give up on these too?  He earned Intermediate Alg last summer and was halfway to Col. Alg before they didn't renew ACE last year.  I don't know whether he should do that if TESU might just not approve these either since they aren't proctored.  I am not sure how many more credits he can "lose" without just giving up.  Losing over half your earned credits in 1 day is rough, and I don't even know what is best anymore.

No, TESU does still take Shmoop Credit because it is ace approved. There are certain courses that TESU will take from them but you have to ensure you look on the forum and only do the one that they will take.

The email I got from TESU the other day said Shmoop was suspended totally, as of now. I would not do any Shmoop courses with the intention of transferring them to TESU until that's resolved. I'm still going to do a few for COSC
