Ok, the other guy was definitely a spammer, but the site is legit, and it is NCCRS-approved for a lot of law and civics courses. NCCRS-only obviously limits its usability, but it looks like a $35 proctor/admin fee per course, no other costs (aside from parchment costs for transcripts). The proctor is some kind of asynchronous audio-only proctor service called " Voice Proctor" that uses voiceprints for verification.
No idea if either TESU or EC would take these courses, or as what, but seems like it is worth a discussion, even if the introduction was spammy.
Followup: The exams are multiple choice, award letter grades starting at C for 70%. The same organization ( https://nationalparalegal.edu/) that runs LawShelf runs the VoiceProctor service.

The introduction wasn't the best, but these do look like genuinely useful courses for some students. Assuming, of course, that TESU and/or EC accept them. It'd be great if we could get someone willing to guinea pig one or two courses to see if TESU/EC will accept them.
The exams are also open book.
If these are accepted, this could be an amazing resource for students who can't or don't want to use video proctoring for one reason or another.

Edit Reason: Link to TESU's Approved Provider Directory
)
National Paralegal College is on the list of "Provisionally Approved" providers, so TESU might accept the courses.

EC hasn't shown any reluctance in taking NCCRS courses, and actually, TESU hasn't either. The only issue you're going to find is that most are non-liberal Arts courses, so they will be free electives in most cases.
Unfortunately, COSC has a paralegal degree - but does not accept NCCRS credit. That would have been a good fit.

Interesting. National Paralegal College is DEAC-accredited. I wonder if that Provisionally Approved would extend to this offshoot.

The REASON they take credits from here is because they're NCCRS (they've been that since 2013). This is not new. DEAC has nothing to do with any of this, as TESU does not accept NA credit.
It's similar to Penn Foster - the school is NA, but TESU takes ACE credit from them - the fact that they're NA is moot.

Sure, TESU and EC generally accept NCCRS credit. But it won't necessarily come in as what you might expect. For instance, there are multiple Psych courses on Coopersmith that only come in as free electives. I think EC has rejected a couple Coopersmith courses for requirements, too, but I don't remember which ones or why. So, they might accept LawShelf's "Accounting", but it might only come in as "Accounting Elective" and not as anything useful.

National Paralegal College started the projects for LawShelf and VoiceProctor to try and expand their reach and offerings, they're also now making it "easier" to graduate with an Excelsior degree as some of these are upper level, an Excelsior BSLA requires just 10 UL, you can get all 10 for $350 now, plus the other ACE/NCCRS credits, it'll only cost you the 7 residency credits to finish off the degree...
