Alternative Options for Credit - Which one is more popular and recommended? POLL - RANSOMSOUL - 07-25-2016
CLEP & DSST are both the strongest options due to their acceptability and with study resources like IC, they are a lock for someone to earn credits. On a personal choice, I enjoyed ACE (Straighterline, Penn Foster, FEMA, ALEKS) the most because it allowed me to knock out credits in the comfort of my own home. This was not an interest when I started but as time went on that ability became one of my favorite parts of using those resources.

FEMA had ACE-approved courses you could complete at home? All the ones I've seen require classroom attendance. The IS courses aren't ACE-approved.

All of the FEMA courses I took were from home in 2013 (35-40 - would have to check to confirm count). They transferred into TESC no problem at that time. As I type, tagging them ACE is the disconnect. If I recall, I just had them sent directly from FEMA at that time.. This was a good learning experience because I didn't continue on until 2015 and by that time the FEMA credits did not count and they were removed from my account. It was a nice, welcome back party
and these credits no longer have value here afterparty

I had FEMA IS credits applied to my degree in 2011. They were never ACE-approved. If they ever receive ACE approval, TESU would start accepting again.
