Thank you
Because it seems to be for New Jersey residents only, already said by TESU and other forum members

No such limitation. My son signed up for 7 and we are not in NJ.
RE: Goal: BA or BS in CS or IT - rachel83az - 09-11-2023
The first page of that thread says it's probably for NJ only. The rest of the thread confirms that anyone can take them. I am also not in NJ and have signed up for seven TECEPs.

I only have 6 courses pending in order to finish the BS in CS from UoPeople, currently I´m taking Information Retrieval and Web Programming 2, if I keep taking them from 2 in 2, I´ll be finishing for March 29th.

I transferred the following courses to UoPeople:
Study.com Philosophy 101:Intro to Philosophy -> PHIL 1402 Introduction to Philosophy
Sophia Calculus I -> Calculus
Study.com Data Structures & Algorithms -> Data Structures
Study.com Introduction to Operating Systems -> Operating Systems 2
Study.com Discrete Mathematics -> Discrete Mathematics
Study.com Database Management -> Databases 2
Study.com Artificial Intelligence -> Artificial Intelligence
Everything else I took at UoPeople, I first started there in 2017.

With UoPeople taking Sophia, SL, and Study.com, it became a lot quicker/cheaper to get a degree there.

I can't find an equivalent list for SL or Study.com, but here is something someone made
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jYSgm5gXVhAC1FxLfrTAZ1v4ZrxPAUhoAL6NwOTQOS0/htmlview#gid=1888705900
I'm curious what are the major elective requirements for the CS degree? How many total credits and can you pick what you want?
RE: Goal: BA or BS in CS or IT - MrPanda - 09-17-2023
You could also take Saylor´s College Algebra in order to transfer it to UoPeople. I couldn´t do it because when I took the Saylor´s exam, it was only NCCRS, not ACE.
I think that Saylor´s Software Engineering could transfer as Software Engineering 2 at UoPeople (not 1 as in the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jYSgm5gXVhAC1FxLfrTAZ1v4ZrxPAUhoAL6NwOTQOS0/htmlview#gid=1888705900), because Saylor´s SE is Upper Level, and in the Uopeople: SE1 is LL, and SE2 is UL.
In the link they also mentioned the Google IT Support Certificate could work for "Communication and Networking" + electives, and that Sophia´s Intro to Web Development could work for Web Dev 1 or Web Dev 2, but I was not offered any transfer for any of those (I got offers to pay for transfers even for courses that I already had).
However, I had to appeal for SDC´s Artificial Intelligence since I was not offered any credit for that course at first and later it got accepted.
I also was not offered any credit for the Google´s Project Management Certificate (I got offered transfers even for courses that could work as electives, even when I already had my electives filled).
You can´t pick anything inside the major.
72 credits in the major and 15 elective credits.
You have options to take courses like "Cloud" or similar computer courses for the electives, but those are actually free electives, as I have them filled with Art History, Emotional Intelligence, Principles of Business Management, Globalization and Statistical Inference.
This is my UoPeople Audit, where you can see the credit´s distribution:

On nine days I´ll re-start my Study.com account, I only need one more course from them:
Computer Architecture, while being there, I´ll also get Managerial Accounting as my 2nd course, and I´ll be done with Study.com.
Months ago I copied all the transcripts from the lessons, so I´ll try to learn a bit before going back in order to try to pass the exam with a good enough grade so I could skip the 2nd assignment that has brought so much suffering to many of our fellow forum posters.
