Shmoop

I know that TESU does not accept Shmoop, but does COSC still?  

What courses are accepted?

I think all of the Ace approved ones are accepted as of right now.

If I were spending my money, I wouldn't pay for a Shmoop course at this point. If I ALREADY had Shmoop credit, I'd shell out $75 and get my COSC application started ASAP.
This is kinda like when scientists predict a volcanic eruption. There is usually a period of caution before the eruption- could be days, could be weeks or a year.... but it feels an awful lot like something is happening to me. Time to evacuate and land somewhere safe.

I want to emphasize that it is almost unheard of for a program to revoke credit that is ACE evaluated while it is still ACE evaluated. I mean what we have happen here from time to time is a course expires, and may or may not renew. That's not what is happening with Shmoop. Shmoop still has ACE evaluation for college credit - so let's say that no one at COSC is paying attention to what TESU did, if that's true, then they're going on their merry way and of course you'll get all the credit because it was EARNED DURING the dates that it was approved. In theory, those credits are good for 20 years because of when you earned them. So, that TESU reversed themselves is pretty huge. I can't imagine that other schools don't know this- how could they not?

Someone with a better memory can help me recall that this happened once before, but I can't remember the credit provider - they went in and adjusted the ACE accounts after the fact. If memory serves, people had ACE credit actually removed from their ACE transcripts, but that's going way back.

You are probably right,but Charter Oak does their own thing with FEMA credits,GRE subject exams,etc.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry a ton about it, especially considering that for $88/mo for unlimited courses, it's not like you're spending a lot of money on them. I'd gather up as many Shmoop courses as possible if you liked the format or could deal with it.

I'm probably being paranoid... said the people of Pompei LOL.

No seriously, I have no more insight than anyone else- and their ACE credit is still in effect through 8/2019 if nothing changes.
