While the ACE Credit website hasn't been updated yet, I did get verification today that it was a mistake on their part and that Visual C# is a currently offered course that is eligible for ACE Credit.
I'll be signing up for it ASAP!

Good news! Make sure you check with tesc advising and even more importantly the registrar.

Penn Foster College was recently reviewed by ACE however the ACE website has not been updated with the new classes. Something similar happened with SL and I told my advisor that it was not updated so they called ACE and fixed the problem.
Unfortunately most people on PF seem to work for a call center and don't have the power (or the will) to do anything for the student.
I wonder what were the results of the evaluation, does anybody here knows something?

Thanks for the info. If Penn Foster was able to get more of their courses (especially their computer science ones) ACE listed, then I would finally enroll into their programs. Wouldn't they want to get more of our money?
Someone should call Connie Dempsey Chief Academic Officer, Penn Foster

Has anyone added this course to their plan? What level does it equate to at TESC? Since the course used to be C++ and is now C# at PF, I am assuming it equates to the same level as C++ did at TESC, C++ Programming (COS-213).

I don't think levels matter for the BSBA CIS program do they?

No they don't matter. But I am doing a second bachelors in Nat Sci and need some 200 and 300 level classes.

I need the same thing you do. What other PF classes have you taken that counts as credit for 300 level at TESC?
