Mortuary School to AA Credit Questions

That's what I would like to do, but I don't know what I need to take or how to get my credits to go where they need to go

Read the links in my last post. There is a lot of detail on the wiki about how to get the Pierpont BOG AAS. 

I would start with the Dream Academy while saving up for Sophia. The Google IT Professional Support certificate is 12 credits and is super easy to complete. I don't know if you are allowed to complete additional certificates, but I would do so if you can. More free credits!

That's exactly what you need to do, please read the last post #9 from Rachel83AZ again as you're asking how to start when the links tell you each and every step within the wiki. That guide is as straightforward as possible, stick to it and don't deviate from it... Moreover, I also suggest going the Sophia.org option instead of CLEP/MS... (and the Saylor.org option when you need to later if you decide to get a Bachelors afterwards).

Is this the one you're talking about?  It's a free trial, so I could pass it within a week you're saying if i sign up?

I see this, but my original post was about how to transfer credits and if my credits were even worth anything.  I was trying to get that sorted before starting other classes etc sorry I'm very confused

Unfortunately, your courses are NA. These do not easily transfer to most colleges and universities. The cheapest and quickest way forward is for you to IGNORE your existing credits and follow the instructions on the wiki here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pierpont_C%26TC

You can try sending your existing transcripts to Pierpont, but I do not think they will be accepted.

@slaterjack, This is the reason you should only start with the Pierpont BOG AAS thinking as if you're starting from the beginning/clean slate... Your courses you've taken will go into your Bachelors degree under the electives, it can be Excelsior University, as that would be your cheapest option later. Take the required NCCRS upper level credits to finish off the degree when the time comes (60 credits from your Pierpont, 30+ credits from your current credits)...

Ok I will read that Pierpont info then, thank you.

Since you're trying to get things as cheap as possible, you might want to sign up for these FREE credits: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...pid=370635

It's possible that they might not transfer to Pierpont, but the courses are only a month long and it's potentially another 6 free credits if it works.

Oh thank you, yes I have already started the IT Google cert so I am continuing on.

EC accepts NA credit, so you could easily switch to them after getting an AAS at Pierpont. Since you don't have much in the way of GE (i.e. English Comp, Social Sciences, Math, etc), you could definitely get the Pierpont AAS and then send those credits along with your NA credits to EC to continue on with your Bachelor's degree.
