It's the end of an era! I'm tempted to get my kids to knock out a few before the end of the month, but I know neither of them would be at all interested in the subject matter, so I get that it would be for the wrong reason.

predictable but still too bad

Coopersmith -- was popular for its Linear Algebra -- https://www.coopersmithcc.net/shop/
I'm sure it has other popular courses, but Linear Algebra is the one I remember seeing people talking about all the time

Still very curious what happened with that first January 16th group, as all of those orgs are closely related to each other. COSC must have found something they didn't like.

Those FEMA classes have a special place in my heart. They were the first alt credits I completed.

The only FEMA courses I would recommend getting before they go Kaput are the ones that make up the FEMA IS PDS, I recall there being 7 courses so it would be 7 credits towards your COSC degree. COSC made several changes, gone are the days where you can transfer in 17-33 FEMA credits, it's now 3-9 max.

I can tell you offline if you'd like, though I don't think I should comment publicly on exactly what we know about why COSC did what they did.
I will say three things:
1. It has nothing to do with any COSC objection to any Coopersmith course, assessment or course materials.
2. The answer lies in the wording of your question; and
3. It was merely step 1 in COSC's move away from non-collegiate learning
From what I've been told, come summer (though I don't know what role the COVID-19 outbreak may change their plans), non-collegiate learning sources will have to be reviewed by COSC directly for them to accept transfer credits. We could apply using this process too, though I don't know if we will.

shaas, ah yes, I knew this would happen!! They're following in the footsteps of TESU in weeding out alternative players by creating an "approved provider directory" listing or something along the lines to "evaluate" on their end further how these courses matches up to a real class, it's like another internal audit of each course before they'll accept it.

January 16th was the day after Martin Luther King Jr's birthday
