I was looking through someone's degree plan...what does "RA" stand for? The only meaning I could find for it is Residential Assistance?

Just an FYI, for COSC and TESU, they require 30 RA credits total, that means you must take these either by courses at a community college, or through exams such as TECEPS/UEXCELS. Another option is to take courses through a partnership such as TEL Learning, Wescott etc.
Study.com Offer https://bit.ly/3RTJ3I9

wow, did not know uexcels counted as RA credit
I know they're offered by Excelsior, but I always associated them with CLEPs or DSSTs
that makes 30 RA credits a lot easier and lot less expensive

the status of courses at westcott maybe up in the air though
I saw a thread the other day that Brandman University was "moving" to another university system or something
and Brandman is the one who gives RA credit for the westcott courses - so I hope they're still giving grades for westcott
