Just went through all 17 of these in the ACE database, all of them are recommended for credit until at least August 2023, some much longer (into 2025 even).

While there are many situations where a school might accept ACE recommendations and not NCCRS, I've never come across a school that accepts NCCRS recommendations but not ACE.

My guess is that Study.com has recognized that getting these reviewed by both ACE and NCCRS is unnecessary and is moving away from NCCRS.

If they are also ACE approved then you could still earn transferrable credit for them.

A little further down on the page, Comp Sci 331: Cybersecurity Risk Analysis and Management, looks to be getting significantly more difficult on Nov 14th, with an additional assignment and a handful of extra lessons. Just in case someone has it on their radar.

[ss20ts]

With so few schools accepting NCCRS it is most likely not worth the cost to have courses approved by both NCCRS and ACE.

[SweetSecret]

Agreed, it seems this is there way of telling everyone to hurry in finishing, because they don't know who's planning on transferring them to an Ace versus NCCRS accepting school, and they probably don't want to bring that up and receive a bunch of emails back asking about the difference between Ace and NCCRS. Keeping it simple.

[bjcheung77]

Yeah, keeping the process simple and streamlined is best, ACE has a "credit bank or registry" now with Credly, NCCRS still is within the provider. It's somewhat redundant having a second evaluation agency, but if they really wanted, any course that doesn't meet ACE requirements can be kept with NCCRS... that's the only reason I would even consider NCCRS at this point.

Nice they gave a week notice and not be email so I’m just finding this out through this post. So it’s effective tomorrow. I am in for about 2000 words on a 3000 word assignment plus have an vid presentation. For bus 324. 

So I wonder if these two assignments they are adding are in addition to or replacing the current one.

Yes, I almost found that update by accident. I took BUS303 yesterday and saw a notification about it after I signed in. I agree that a one-week notice period is inadequate. BTW, I suppose they are in addition :-(.
