Pierpont AAS - how to get RA credits

[rachel83az]

The portfolio fee is if you want to do a PLA instead of transferring in credits.

@ECH90 - I would apply, get your graded credit, then apply for graduation as you should have enough credits for a BOG AAS.  Make sure to look on their website to see if you have enough of all the requirements.  They take a while to get everything completed, sending it earlier will speed up the process.  Lastly, while waiting, get some more courses done towards your Bachelors.

Upon further evaluation. I'm going to get the credits and them apply. I don't want to risk the fee below:
“ A $300.00 portfolio fee and $10.00 per credit hour acceptance fee is charged for each portfolio submitted and credit granted after evaluation.”

A portfolio evaluation is not the same thing as a degree audit.  There is no charge to audit your transfer credits to see if you qualify for a degree.

It is a fact that I have one credit from Clackamas Community College and ten from Davar Academy (which is NCCRS).  All the rest are ACE via Credly/Acclaim.

That's interesting. IIRC, rachel83az tried to transfer NCCRS credits to Pierpont and it did not work for her.

In the case of my own AAS (to be awarded 8-6-21 per ROAR) as well as that of a relative which was awarded in June, we were advised that ACE-approved credits were considered to be RA, and that a minimum of one credit must be both RA and letter-graded.

I had similar experience. When I applied, I only had 10 RA credits, remaining 90+ were ACE.

[rachel83az]

Yep. They wanted my NCCRS credit on an ACE transcript and I eventually dropped the issue. I had sufficient credits to graduate and it wasn't worth getting stuck up over just a couple of credits.

For whatever it's worth, I followed Rachel's posts regarding her NCCRS credits with great interest.  But when the time came, PC&TC accepted my Davar transcript with no issues whatsoever.

Bumping this thread...looking for opinion or experience:  would XAMK courses fulfill RA req. for this degree?   Thanks!

[rachel83az]

Once evaluated, the graded ones should be good. The pass/fail ones will probably still be accepted, but you need at least one graded credit.

Thanks!!!  This might be a total unknown, but I wonder if the XAMK health courses qualify for a "concentration" and also wonder if the game creation courses would qualify for information systems?  And, is it possible to get 2 "concentrations?" 

[rachel83az]

You only get one concentration at Pierpont. As for the rest, that's definitely unknown.
