That said, regarding these UL credits, anyone familiar with Study, InstaCert and SL Upper level courses in something other than a science or tech field? Lib. Arts, Communications, General Studies..for transfer to Cosc. I would soo love a comprehensive list of UL COSC courses and their equivalencies from other sources. Seems like the collective experience here might have that.
Thanks, and pardon if this list already exists and I just didn't search properly for it.
A public list does not exist, some of us have lists but will not post them here because they change frequently. It would get out into the world, and then people would use the list (even ones years old) and be sadly disappointed when they didn't work.

They just extended their ACE recommendation until 6/30/2020 and their online testing or over the phone.
I know you're going to love this as it's not really proctored, you just use a PC or the phone and call the subject matter expert. For example, if you know two Romance languages such as French, Spanish, you can get your entire AOS completed if you score an advanced/superior level. Moreover, each exam is $105 for a max of 12 credits, or $210 for 24 credits!
Here's my last post about it: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-ACTFL-Foreign-language-credits-extended-till-2-29-2020?pid=305804#pid305804

Wait, so you're saying if I take the ACTFL OPIc and ACTFL WPT Internet exam on this page and pass, I'll get 12 UL and 12 LL credits? So 12/15 of my UL course will be completed?

Wait, let me think on that... *3 seconds later* Where was I? Oh yea... Yes, if you do two ACTFL languages and take the Death Investigation course from TEEX , for example, and if you score high enough for both languages, you have the 15 UL required for a BALS at TESU - it's the cheapest/easiest/fastest option for a degree <period>.

They have one in English. Is it worth credit and can someone do that if English is their native language?

How does credit transferring work for these exams? Do I just need to order the "Official Copy of Certificate" for $10?
Just want to make sure the Death Investigation course is the one here?
Besides the Capstone and Information Literacy course I have to take at TESU and the Civic Engagement requirement, I only need 15 UL credits left (or 3 if I can pass the language proficiency exams). Do I only need to take and transfer one Study.com course to receive the discounted $399/credit rate? I was planning on completing my Civic Engagement requirement and the last 3 UL credits on Study.com, unless Death Investigation is a course relatively easy and more preferred?

Nope - TESU won't take English - you can only use these for Foreign language credit.

I can't imagine that any school in a country that has English as a native language would accept an English test for a foreign language requirement.

Correct. ACTFL stands for "American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages." English isn't one here in the US.
