This is the closest answer I could find.

I don't think you need to be enrolled to find out this information, just to have applied.

Thomas Edison / FEMA / Credit Banking
Thomas Edison State College / FEMA Independent Study Courses

Credit Banking

I received my credit bank transcript today from TESC. I would like to share one section of my transcript relating to FEMA Independent Study Courses with the forum.

I had FEMA send a copy of my Independent Study Course transcript direct to TESC. I sent no copies of my certificates, not even notarized copies. My FEMA transcript had 46 courses listed and I received credit for 37 courses. All courses were worth one credit, except for IS-009, which was worth 2 two credit hours.

My credit bank fee at the military rate was $250, giving me the credits at $6.58 per credit hour. It would be lower if I figured in the fact that I had other courses that were not FEMA related on the transcript.

Credit (37)
001, 002, 003, 005, 007, 008, 009, 010, 011, 015, 111, 120, 139, 195, 208, 230, 235, 240, 241, 242, 244, 271, 275, 279, 288, 292, 301, 324, 346, 386, 393, 394, 513, 600, 630, 631, 632.

No credit (9)
022, 055, 100, 200, 317, 340, 362, 650, 700.

Have Not Taken (yet)
253, 330, 331, 336, 800.


Credit Level of the 37 Courses
100 level - 19
200 level - 16
300 level - 2
400 level - 0


*** The figures above do not count the two US Fire Administration (FEMA) self-study courses, Q118 & Q318, for which I got one credit each. One was a 300 level course and the other a 400 level course. The two US Fire Administration courses were ACE evaluated for college credit, while the FEMA Independent Study courses were not ACE evaluated.
