ACE Credits to Official School Transcript

[theonlyski]

I guess I'm not understanding this. If they enroll, and send their transcripts, then can't they just get an official transcript from TESU without going through the credit bank?

I received one recently doing this.

I'm also confused about this, isn't this what people were calling 'credit laundering' and telling me to stay away from?

Depending what your goal is and what classes you are trying to add it would definitely be worth it to hold off. For example... Some MBA program require that you have taken business ethics to enroll. If this was a goal of yours and your preferred school required an extra class or two, it would be a good idea to knock those out now. Another example I can think of was a situation I was in during a job application. They wanted a certain number of years of schoolwork in management courses (i think its was 3 years, aka 6 classes, aka 18 credits).
Depending what your goal is will determine whether it's worth it to wait or not. If you need a new job right now it might not be. Entirely situational and dependent on you.

Not really. Credit "laundering" is trying to kind of trick a school into believing that you got credit directly from a school rather than where you actually received it. Credit banking is just paying TESU to pull all of your transcripts into 1 place, and then issuing a transcript. It's really the same as if you were an enrolled student there and transferred all of your credit in, and then they gave you a transcript.

Does that mean instead of ordering a transcript from each school that a person could instead just order the one transcript from TESU and have everything covered?

Depends on what you are using the transcript for...an employer will probably only want the one transcript. A grad school will probably want all of them.
