Hello,
Anyone have experience on Shmoop College Credit? https://www.shmoop.com/college-credit/
It is about $88 monthly + $23 for each proctored test. If I able to take 4 tests each month, the cost for each course is only about $45, way cheaper than most credits out there.
But what school will accept the credits?
My target school is either TESU or COSC.
Thank you.

Also I believe for COSC you dont even need to pay for proctoring so it's even cheaper.

I got an email from COSC.

I will include a link below with some information about how to have international transcripts evaluated prior to applying. We are not currently able to accept credits from Shmoop. If you have any additional questions please let us know.
It is very unfortunate, because Shmoop courses is quite cheap.

In December they were still accepting Shmoop. I wonder if something's changed like TESU, or if this is another case of an admissions counselor being unfamiliar with alt credit.

I'm going to guess that it's either the fact that there's no proctored final required, or the person is unfamiliar with ACE.
