Since it is now regionally accredited. Do you think this might be a great way to get some RA credits, especially for computer science? I’m thinking of enrolling, taking a semester and seeing if it transfers in. I just need to fill some RA credits for TESU.

UOP—I assume you mean University of the People, which is more commonly abbreviated as UoPeople. "UOP" can easily be confused with the University of Phoenix, another very popular institution.
With a $140 course assessment fee, this could be an affordable way to obtain RA credit. You could earn 5 courses worth of RA credit in just 4 months by taking 2 courses in one term and 3 in another. After that, you would need 5 additional courses, which could be completed via a flat-rate TESU term, bringing you to a total of 30 RA credits.
Degrees: BA Computer Science, BS Business Administration with a concentration in CIS, AS Natural Science & Math, TESU. 4.0 GPA 2022.
Course Experience: CLEP, Instantcert, Sophia.org, Study.com, Straighterline.com, Onlinedegree.org, Saylor.org, Csmlearn.com, and TEL Learning.

You can't take random courses at UoPeople, there is a path to follow.

Also, you are not a student until you finish first 2 classes, one of them is UNIV101 which must be taken at UoPeople (impossible to replace through alternative credit source).

Oh, I see I’ll start using the UoPeople abbreviation. I have 9 credits from my community college days. I think this way I can just do 2 courses which will put me in a decent spot. Thanks a lot! I’ll let y’all know if they accept the credits, I’d assume they will now.

ahh dang that sucks! Well, I guess it’ll take a free elective place or the gen ed, so it’s still something i think I'm going to do still. Would’ve been nice to take one of the computer science classes right away though

Actually, with you mentioning that I still have to take two classes before even starting the actual school, It might not be worth it. I could just try the teceps or epacks instead.

I mentioned in another thread that, UoPeople Bio I and II should come into TESU as Bio I and II with labs. Thus, the ASNSM Biology can be done extremely cheap now, no longer a need to use the online community college Biology classes anymore!
