post-degree non-traditional credits

Just to be crystal clear, you are applying for a second bachelor's degree in a random major (ASBA, French, physics, whatever...) and pretending you are going to enroll. In reality, you will never complete this program (or you could change your mind or change your major). In your case, it's just a cheaper method of credit banking ($75 vs. $300). If you don't time your transcripts right and need a 3rd eval, you'll need to pay for a TECEP (you can skip actually taking the TECEP).

but if an applied student is only getting unofficial evals, what would you do to trigger an "official transcript" beyond applying? Does registering for a TECEP do that?

Excelsior Colleges does it for $25 and as many credits at you want at one time. Transcript Update Request Form

I would think COSC and TESU do the same.

Excelsior College does this. They charge a fee for the update. Not per test, but per update. No fee for the UExcels. They are added on your transcript "below the degree line".

We might be talking about two different things, but Excelsior seems to charge $270 for credit banking, not $25...

Don't forget TESU is a very rare zero residency school for folks are going for ASBA, AA, and the AANSM degrees. I also remember someone posting here about being able to graduate without enrolling at all. The only significant barrier to graduating is paying $2300. In this instance, the OP simply needs to bank credits rather than earn a degree. That can be done for 2 evals at $75 and then subsequent for the next year for $114 with a TECEP.

Can you clarify? The poster isn't a current EC student and doesn't appear interested in taking additional UExcels?

[Life Long Learning]

You would need to be a EC student or alumni for the $25 version.

Gotcha, thanks.

Doesn't seem applicable here, but a good option for others I suppose?

Normally at TESU in order to get an official transcript you must be an enrolled student but alumni are eligible for transcripts. The credit banking at TESU I believe is only for non-TESU students. So if someone graduates from TESU I don't think they are eligible for credit banking at TESU. Both COSC and Excelsior do offer credit banking.
