West Virginia Northern CC AAS BOG

[humbleAMG]

Anyone notice these folks are not very responsive? At this time, with my completed courses, once I knock out my Eng 101/201 classes I might just apply for an AS with TESU instead or go to Pierpont.

EDIT: Of course once I posted the above I received a phone call back. The end out acceptance email/mailers once a week. I

Here you go, varJosh.

I started a thread yesterday. http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...nning.html (I didn't think of posting here earlier.)

KayV, could you give me some input?

I want to say that WVNCC required College Algebra or above but I don't remember for sure. In your case, I don't think it would matter beyond being able to use the Int Alg for the requirement and College Alg as an elective.

Yes, I recently talked with one of their counselors and they confirmed College Algebra or above must be taken.

I have two exams left with Study.com. If I took English 101 and 102 with them, would all my credits fit into this plan? Here is what I figured from a template (I think it was KayV"S). Would this be worthy investment or should I just concentrate on my BA?

Edit. The Classes marked in yellow I have not taken. My signature includes all the classes I have taken. Also meant Study English 2 not 1! Also does Pierpont accept the CLEP comp?

Pierpont only requires intermediate algebra, if that helps.

Can anyone explain the "credit hour posting" fee?

I read it here (highlighted in red):

It doesn't apply to anyone doing transfer courses to the college, you won't be subject to those fees.
However, for individuals missing courses and wanting to do a PLA for portfolio credit, it's $10/credit.
Example, I want a portfolio of 30 credits, that's gonna cost $300 and the evaluation fee of $300, total is $600.
If you transfer in 60 credits, you ain't got anything else needed, no need for the portfolio fee.

Can anyone explain the "credit hour posting" fee?

That's only if you decide to go for PLA. If you submit a portfolio and you're successful at proving your prior knowledge, they have a small $10/credit charge.

In case anyone was wondering... here is what the diploma looks like.
