Credit-by-Exam from CSU Global!!!!!

Double-posting here for the benefit of those using the search feature for these exams:

I just got confirmation from the registrar that COSC does not accept the CSU Global CBEs for credit:

"Tedium,

Unfortunately no, we do not accept those Challenge Exams as credit. CSU treats those courses as transfer credit to test out of their requirements, because of this they are not designed to be transferable to other schools. Essentially they are treated as “non-resident credit”, and we only accept transfer of “resident credit”, aka courses actually taken at the school. I hope that explains it properly. Let me know if you have any questions."

Just in case anyone else was looking to use them.

Yep, there is a difference between TECEPs and CSU Global CBEs that I didn't think would matter, but it does. CSU Global CBEs are more like Uexcels, except Excelsior has obtained ACE approval for Uexcels. CSU Global CBE credits are designated with an "EX" similar to how Uexcels are designated with an "X" on the transcript. TECEPs are not ACE or NCCRS evaluated, but COSC accepts them because they are treated as resident credits rather than transfer credits. TECEP credits look no different than other credits on a transcript except that they are pass/fail. The course codes are exactly the same as they are for their online courses.

However, TESC has already confirmed a few times that they will accept CSU Global CBEs. I wonder how Excelsior would treat them.

Sorry for the editing, but I think COSC's line of thinking is inconsistent. They accept FEMA courses from an organization that is not even a college. FEMA courses don't have ACE or NCCRS approval.
