Credits Transfer Cost for TESC EXAM, Excelsior Exam, SL, CLEP and DSST - sanantone - 09-21-2014
That is not what it says. It says that you can transfer a maximum of 80 community college credits. You can transfer up to 120 credits from regionally accredited, 4-year colleges/universities. They just say 120 credits because most bachelor's degrees are 120 credits. They technically do not have a residency requirement. You can transfer in an unlimited number of non-traditional credits (CLEP, DSST, SL, etc.) in addition to credits from other colleges (except for community colleges which have an 80 credit limit).
TESC's calculator does not include the Per Credit Tuition Plan. Don't even bother with it. It's a little messed up.

It's also been that way for years. When I started looking for schools back in 2009, I tried using the cost calculator and it was telling me that it was going to run me a few thousand for transfer credits. That's one of the things that made me shy away from TESC back then. Afterwards, I got clarification on it (no, there's no extra charge for transferring credits in). But it was serendipitous for me, as I ended up at EC with the degree I wanted. They really need to either fix, update, or ditch that calculator.

I think there might be a requirement to have an online calculator or is that only for for-profit colleges?

If you are using the TECEPs to fulfill the residency requirement for the PPC tuition plan, and if you only plan 8 TECEPs to make those 24-cr and fail one, using another credit source (SL, for instance) will put you short on your residency requirements unless you find a different TECEP for another degree requirement. If that is your plan and you want to factor in a buffer for possible failure, you might want to factor in/plan 1 or 2 extra TECEPs to your degree plan.
