Those look pretty good! Thanks for lettings us know that they've increased in price for the courses... I remember it was $45 and $75 for a few of those courses, so they bumped it up $10-$20 respectively for the courses... not a bad deal though, still a pretty good option for free elective credits, non-proctored goodness...

I should probably point out that currently those courses have expired ACE status. They may get renewed, but I'd wait until then to take them.

Thank you for sharing this. My wife is almost done with all of these. How did you get the certifcates though? The link says the form will be coming out in the future. Did you just send an email or is there a way to enroll and pay the fee? Thank you

If your wife isn't quite done, she might want to purposely delay a bit. Right now, these courses are not ACE-recommended. In the future, they should be. Hopefully.

She isn't doing it for credit. She just finished her BA in Criminal Justice. This was just for knowledge and the Certificate. I have had experience with ACE and recertification. If they are going to recertify them they will grant the time in between. Nothing has changed and no new version.

Hey KUJO!

It was a pain to get the certificates. When I emailed my application, there was no info on how to pay. I thought they would contact me. Nope. I waited two weeks and then called them. They said that they were waiting for my call. I was able to immediately pay over the phone. They then told me that the certificates would be processed within 5 to 7 business days and I would receive an email. Nope. I waited two weeks past that and then called them. They said that they were just waiting on the Department Manager to sign off on the certificates and I should receive an email in 3 to 5 business days. Nope. I waited another two weeks and then sent an email with all the details to the woman that I had been dealing with (Robin Crawford), the general Department mailbox, and the Department Manager. The certificates were mailed the next day. Funny how that works. It was a pain and took two months but I wanted the certificates.

It looks like they have taken the form down. Maybe they are waiting for ACE to renew. You can always email them at ilepse@teex.tamu.edu or call them at (800) 423-8433 and ask how to get the certificates.

Happy New Year!

Hey! I sent my form in around the 11th after finishing up the non credit courses. Then I made my purchase around the 13th. On Friday the 21st Ms. Crawford emailed me and told me she was getting ready to order my certificates. fingers crossed they will come in soon.
