Does TESU still accept Straighterline credits? If so, are they now capped out at 90?
I've been away for a while and now getting back into finishing this degree.
I currently have a mix of Straighterline and Clep credits.
Thanks for any info you can provide!

To answers your questions: Yes, they accept Straighterline still. In fact, they have a "
specialized articulation agreement" with them. (unless that page hasn't been updated, because they're not on the Approved list, just the
Provisionally Approved list)
TESU has a new transfer credit policy. It is now a maximum of 90 credits from all alt-credit (ACE/NCCRS/CLEP/AP/DSST/etc) providers, instead of 90 credits per provider. The rest have to be some kind of RA credit. If you're currently enrolled, you can get them all your transcripts (and take new classes and get them transcripted/in) by March 1st, and you can be grandfathered into the old 90 credits per provider option. If you're not currently enrolled, you are probably out of luck for the March 1st cutoff.

Yes, TESU still accepts SL credits. However, ALL alternate credits are now capped at a total of 90. Of the remaining 30 credits, 6 (capstone/cornerstone) MUST come from TESU. The other 24 can come from any RA source. See
https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...ts_Roadmap for details and suggestions regarding inexpensive alternate credits.

I see. That is unfortunate but what I had assumed by going through some threads on here.
Thank you for the quick response!

You can get RA credit inexpensively in a number of ways:
TECEP exams ($150 for LL, $225 for UL),
UExcel exams (generally $110 + $55 test center fees),
Luna CC ($40/cr + fees = ~$160 for 1st course in a semester),
NMJC ($70/cr)
TEL Learning ($67/cr)
