jsd Wrote:Waiving courses for cash is comparing apples to oranges (and sounds like a great plan for TESU to lose accreditation). It's pretty understandable that a school would prefer you take at least some classes with them before they hand you a degree, and outside of the big 3 you're not going to find many places that are flexible with that.
I'm not sure what the alternative is that you're pressing for here? don't allow folks to pay the waiver and force the 16-24 in house credits? That seems like a much bigger shakedown.
Thank you both for sharing your viewpoints! I think one of the beauties of this forum is having so many members who are able to share from a wide variety of perspectives. These differing viewpoints have been crafted over the years in each of us based on life experiences, learning styles, difficulties and accomplishments. The range of opinions is probably infinitesimal.
It's a good thing, really
