New COSC policy for ACE and NCCRS providers

They may as well shut the doors. If you have to take 30 residency credits, it completely defeats the whole mission of that college. I'm extremely disappointed by this.

It isn't 30 residency credits. It just 30 credits have to be from an RA college any RA college not COSC. But since 6 at COSC is required you can take 24 credits somewhere else (cheaper) and transfer them in. So you can still transfer in 114 credits which makes COSC still one of only three schools that allow this.

I disagree. I feel this completely eliminates the purpose of this school. 

There are other schools that will accept 90 ACE credits and you can just do the final work there. I see no reason to do 90 ACE credits, then go get 24 credits elsewhere then transfer them to COSC.....You might as well just transfer them and finish the degree where you are getting the other 24 from.

First, you can disagree, but that doesn't make you right.  Second, I'm not sure where the "purpose of this school" is written, and how they've eliminated that.  Who gets to decide what the purpose is, you?  On this forum, the Big 3 all allow 95% transfer credits.  That's it.  There was never a rule about what kind of credits, except that ACE/NCCRS was accepted.

Regarding the 24cr of RA, your are assuming that the school you'd get the 24cr from will accept ACE, and many don't.  It also assumes that the 24cr is coming from a 4yr school that offers bachelor's degrees, which isn't the case at all.  My daughter is going to our local CC next fall, and it's completely free.  She could easily do 24cr (or more likely 60cr) for free, then do ACE (which our CC does not accept) and then transfer everything to COSC and be fine.
