I flew through 42 credits in 12 weeks. Now I have to spend 12 weeks on just 3 credits and I'm so eager to just be done. But many here have finished 40-60 credits in just three or four months. There is no reason you can't get 80 by end of the year.
No I haven't enrolled yet. I applied and they gave me a preliminary review.

sorry I replied to the wrong message earlier! Yes this is so encouraging. I'll remember to fit in the capstone. They mentioned something about needing a certain amount of credits first?

I was wondering something along this line as well. Will law schools accept undergrad degrees that have NA credits in them?
BSBA/Accounting TESU (2016). MSA UIUC (2018).
Need help with portfolios? I earned 18 credits at TESU through portfolio evaluations. Nine of those were for upper level accounting courses. My advice for PLA/portfolios:
TESU portfolio tips The first post has the Portfolio Checklist I created. Page ten has the actual narrative I wrote to receive credit for ACC-440.
Using Straighterline's Financial Accounting as a substitute for TESU's Intermediate Accounting I? Don't do it if you are an accounting major and/or want your CPA license. They are not the same course and I think TESU has erred in accepting the SL course as Intermediate I. I made this discovery here:
Intermediate Accounting II.

Excelsior is regionally acc so I will be fine. My question really wasn't about getting accepted into law school, it was about steps to getting the BA in 8 months. The school I am applying to will accept it. Acceptance into law school is not based only on transcripts. Your LSAT score, GPA, letters of rec and personal statement also play a large factor.

Having an NA AAS I am also a bit intrigued by this. You just sent in a transcript and they automatically applied the credits to your evaluation? As far as I understood, at EC you had to go through a petition process and the number of credits was capped at something like 30.
Ok never mind what I wrote above, it's been a long time since I looked at
Excelsior College » Transferring Credit From Non-Regionally Accredited Schools apparently they'll potentially accept any of my NA credits too from PFC since they are listed under the DOE. I might be changing my plans to go through them instead of COSC now for my BS...

They didn't accept all of them but they accepted enough to make it worth my while.
