I am studying at TESU to get a second degree, but getting many transferred in credits from alternative sources (popular at this site). I know the final degree will be regionally accredited, but as a teacher, my employers never care much about seeing the diploma, they are interested in what is on the transcripts. Both the school districts and the state governments look at transcripts carefully to determine eligibility for the work (although this depends on the state). Where I work, if you have the credits, you can teach the subject area. If you have a degree in Math, but lack certain specific courses, you might not be eligible to teach Math.
I'm concerned if the transcripts look odd, having used ACE credits from alternative sources, e.g. with ".com" in the name, they might not be recognized as valid credits, as the credits are what they look at, not the final diploma. Worse, could someone be accused of fraud by showing such a transcript with credit earned from these valid alternative sources? I wouldn't want to have to hire a lawyer to prove the degree is legitimate, just because it raised red flags in HR.
Does anyone know what a TESU transcript looks like? Or from the other of the Big 3? Has anyone heard of someone having an issue with the transcript from their employer?

That doesn't really show any alternative credits, except a CLEP.

Nice. I thought they listed "straighterline, study.com, institutes for blah blah" etc.
We are all on the same side here, trying to better our lives....so let's get along and help each other out.
Learn a trade. Gain technical skills. Make money, then use this money to get a degree...if you have the desire.

It would be MUCH longer if you had taken 120 units at TESU because it would have entries (with subtotals) for each term. My 7 year CC transcript with only 60+ units looks like War and Peace with withdrawals and retakes.

Coursera: Stanford Machine Learning (2019)
TESU: BA in Comp Sci (2016)
TECEP:Env Ethics (2015); TESU PLA:Software Eng, Computer Arch, C++, Advanced C++, Data Struct (2015); TESU Courses:Capstone, Database Mngmnt Sys, Op Sys, Artificial Intel, Discrete Math, Intro to Portfolio Dev, Intro PLA (2014-16); DSST:Anthro, Pers Fin, Astronomy (2014); CLEP:Intro to Soc (2014); Saylor.org:Intro to Computers (2014); CC: 69 units (1980-88)
