Other Schools Accepting Alt Credit

[terryd5150]

My main three target schools all accept ACE credits; none of them are part of the Big 3.

Even outside of my chosen schools of interest, I've run accross others that accept ACE (and one I think accepts NCCRS). None of these are Big 3 schools either.

Keep in mind that while other schools may accept ACE credits, it's also common to see a limit on the amount of non-traditional credits that can be brought into a degree plan. I've seen both 30 and 60 credits used as the limit during my searches.

That means you have to supplement with either RA or NA credit - if your chosen school accepts NA.

Some, but not all, of my target schools will accept NA; likewise for the "others" I mentioned.

The downside is that none of the schools I'm referencing will allow the total amount of credits to be transferred in that the Big 3 do. All of them have a residency requirement of 30 credits that must be completed at their university.

That's pretty much the standard practice once you step outside of the Big 3.

That's a non-issue for me as the Big 3 don't offer the major(s) I'm considering; however, that could be an issue for BSBA/BALS seekers.
