I sure hope that's not what COSC did, anyways, the thought of COSC being seedy is leaving a bad taste in my mouth as they were my initial choice before I chose TESU.

I imagine that there was a set time-limit that they had to be in the program, and they waited at least that long before leaving. But I wonder what made them leave? It would be interesting to hear the reasoning.
Not that it makes a huge difference, because they accept the credits. But I'm just wondering.

They probably had to give the money back or didn't stay long enough to get it. I was just making a joke.

That's the way I'm reading it too...wth?
So, if you ALREADY accept ACE credit, why wouldn't you be listed on the ACP? That's very bizarre. I wish I knew the real story- it's so suspicious that ACP advertised the Charter Oak relationship in Sept only to have COSC walk a few weeks later. Hmmm.... there has to be a missing piece.

It seems like we are jumping to a lot of conclusions here. There is no reason to assume COSC has done something unethical just because they are no longer a partner.
I don't know what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future.

I'm more interested in why they stopped the partnership. It just seems strange since there seem to be possible benefits and very little extra costs to the college/university itself, especially with a school that accepts alternative credit anyway. So maybe ACP charges a yearly "membership" fee to schools or something? It's just interesting.
