[New][Help needed] Need some insight/help planning BACS/BSCS

[davewill]

... Also, if someone could double check my spreadsheet that i slightly modified since davewill made it. I just want to make sure that my previous classes do cover everything.
You can find the list of what I have in this thread. I color coded what I think I have accredited to me through my 47 credits. However, if it is wrong, then please tell me so I can correct it and remap my list. Thank you! ...

You didn't insert the spreadsheet into your post.

You didn't insert the spreadsheet into your post.

I sure didn't since I copy/pasted the curriculum into the code field in my previous post and added what I assume would be covered by my transcript.
But I will add it in a second. Just need to change the info from a quick edit to a full reply. Just a moment please.

-.- and somehow I managed to lose my spreadsheet. Great... welp. Let me redo it.

Edit: Adding this really bad rough draft since I apparently didn't save my original somewhere. x.x

Moving onto

Code:

http://www.theinstitutes.org/comet/learning_modules/cpcu_ethics.htm/

which is now $5.

You do not need to do the $5 option. That is for "Continuing Education credit," which is different than college credit. The free version is ACE approved for college credit.

BTW, since you've pretty much decided on TESU, I would go ahead and apply and send your transcripts. That way all of your transfer credits will get evaluated and you will be 100% sure where they fit. Unfortunately, the whole process from application to transfer credits populated takes a minimum of 5 weeks, so you'll want to keep up with your current effort so that you can get started while you're waiting.

Holy shit, 5 weeks? Sorry, didn't mean to swear, but damn. That's quite the wait for some simple credit evaluation.
Thanks for that insight! Might as well submit it and see what happens. Is there any way to expedite that process?

Also, does anyone know of a TESU Application Fee Waiver or Promo code I can use? I tried applying and finding the " ADULT BACK TO COLLEGE-COMEBACK " in the dropdown box, but that has been removed from the list. :/

On day 1, TESU receives a transcript. That starts the clock. Let's say it takes 25 business days to evaluate (it could be less or more). If you send a different transcript on day 20 electronically like ACE, they will evaluate both transcripts on day 25. DSST and CLEP take two weeks by mail, so factor that in by taking any DSST and CLEP exams first. The ACE transcript is a good choice for sending electronically on day 20. So get those courses to ACE during the waiting period. You get only two evaluations as an applicant until you enroll by taking a TESU course or TECEP.

Gotcha. I haven't taken any CLEP/DSST/SL/Study/PLA/etc courses yet. Hence why I was looking to finalize my information for my education road map so I would know where to start since I already have 47 credits from my previous institution. Now, if I apply to TESU, then I will be paying a $75 application fee and sending them my official transcript. From there, I am assuming, I would be given credit for my courses and have a new layout of information as to which coursed filled credits where and what is left to be taken. From that information, create a new spreadsheet that follows the new outline and expedite my credit earning by taking the CLEP/DSST/Study/SL/etc. eligible courses. Which would streamline the process into a faster degree earning track. Transfer in my new credits via ACE and CLEP/DSST. Sign up for their core classes that I cannot take elsewhere and cash out with my degree. Is that correct?

This is all the proof you need that it's a "scam", that they are intentionally delaying evaluating transcripts. The only reason I can imagine for why is that they want to discourage people from sending a new one in every week when they complete another course somewhere else, but they could accomplish the same thing by just charging some small fee.

I don't understand what you mean. If they're going to accept and review all your transcripts on day 20, then where is the issue?

no thanks, I'd rather just wait. i don't like waiting, but it's not really a big impact.
