I wonder if this time the name change will stick. They've gone from Torah College Credits, to Tor College Credits, to Tor Academy, to now this. The new website sure is a heck of a lot better, at least.

Depending on how TESU will transcribe the two CIS courses I'll sign up this week!

It is a really good time for alternative credits. So many options.

and $70 is a great price.

I should point out that it looks like the ProctorU fee is paid by you separately still, so it looks more like $95 a pop. Still not so bad.

I don't know for sure how these will end up transferring, but with so many upper level recommendations, these could be a great option for those at COSC.

Does anyone know if WGU accepts NCCRS credits? There's only one course on here my son needs, but it would be great if he could mark that one off the list.

I couldn't find a any mention of NCCRS on the WGU site. they probably don't, but I don't know that for sure. Worth a call to your enrollment advisor, though.

What class is he looking at on that list?

Management Information Systems - he took Fundamentals of IT at community college but it won't transfer in for that, so he was happy at the thought of being able to knock it out via this method prior to enrolling - but yeah, from all his communications with the enrollment advisor, there was no mention about NCCRS.

There's ed4credit (ACE Recommended), they use proctoru for online proctoring, and the course should be $195.
I'm not sure if Study.com has that course, but you should check it out as well... make sure WGU accepts it first.

I believe there's a CSU Global CBE for that as well
