But WGU accepts national accreditation, so something doesn't make sense.

Was it just that your credits didn't fit into a degree plan?  Or that they "rejected" your transcript from that school outright?  Just trying to figure this one out too.

These are important questions, because in order to help others (and ourselves) when something doesn't fit into the generally accepted behavior of a certain school, understanding why is very very important. There are enough people here with a collection of experiences that anything out of line with norms is a big red flag. Schools tend to be very predictable in how they handle things. When something doesn't fit, there has to be a reason - and sometimes that reason is that THEY have made a mistake (it happens) but other times it could be something new and helpful to others here. eg. maybe they won't take NA credits older than X years... that would be something *new* for people here to know - not saying that's the case, just trying to explain why it is important and why everyone is asking you about it - the "why" matters because it will matter at only this school or will matter at all your schools. That's important to know.

(I also have a NA degree from a school that is now RA, so I totally understand- but if I were to apply to a school that accepted NA credit, there are still reasons my credits could be disallowed.)

Apparently not from AI.
I do think some of it has to do with how long ago I went and things aren't lining up. It's been frustrating and I wan't to put my energy into getting this rolling.

I'll reach out to them to see what they say.

Called and sent an email for specifics as to why they didn't transfer. Waiting...
