International Student seeking guidance from others
#1
I'm wondering if there are any other international students here. Was it easy to transfer credits? Are there some struggles? Are you aloud to do courses at study com? Which big 3 university is the best choice?

I just posted on the other post: I think international students will probably have to use COSC or EC now, and TESU is out. Just guessing, but from what they are saying on the website, that's what it looks like to me.

Hi, im also international student, but im just starting like you; for most of people here all information about US education system is so easy and natural, but for me everything is so new and confusing.

If your question is about transfer credits from your university in your country... Based in my current research, to transfer credits in this way you must pay for specific agencies; COSC for example only accepts two of this agencies: Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) and World Education Services (WES); you must pay a fee (araound 200USD for ECE for high school and university credits transfer) and they will made the research and give you a document with courses equivalent a total credits transfer.

I think we also need to pay this agencies to certify high-school equivalent level in order to enrolled in college in US.

I am an international student, but I started from scratch, with zero credits. Not sure if my experience counts. But when I was looking to enrol last year, the rule was something like you needed a minimum of 24 credits to enrol. I don’t remember anything about RA credits. So, I gathered 24 credits by completing all the free courses (TEEX, Sophia, The Institutes etc), through GED, and through study.com.

Not all alternative method providers are available to those outside the US.  TEEX being one of them that is not.
I know that OnlineDegree.com (OD) also is only available to those in the US at this time.

By now i can say that:
  • AWR-173-W Information security basics
  • AWR174 - Cyber Ethics
Both courses from TEEX are apparently not allowed for international students... we can start the list with this two...

But i think that no other TEEX course is allowed for international students...
