Catch me up, I feel I missed so much - AJ_Atlanta - 12-17-2017
Gang I think I missed way too much the past 3 quarters. I am way out of the loop, it appears we are loosing Psychology at Study.com??
What else did I miss, have we gained anything or is it all bad post ALEXs losses...

We aren't losing Psych, but Study.com courses (probably more than just Psych) are going to be downgraded after 12/31. For those that are ACE- or NCCRS-recommended as UL, they will probably be UL at TESU. For those that are ACE/NCCRS LL, they will probably be LL at TESU. Honestly, it's as it should be. We shouldn't be getting UL credit for courses that aren't UL. Course providers will have to step up their game to get the UL designation if they want it. But it's certainly a bummer for us here.

AJ_Atlanta, what are you missing? Is there some specific set of courses or a degree you're looking at?
Are you going for a BALS/BSBA? There's a loss of ALEKS, but a gain of more Shmoop and Study.com courses.
Create a spreadsheet of what you have completed/need and we'll update you on what's available...

dfrecore - oh that is better than I thought, I was worried they were coming off ACE completely
bjcheung77 - I don't know, I could never decide (so much I want to learn). I have about 45cr and was thinking I should knock out a BOG AAS first.
I am impressed on how much shmoop has added - need to find some reviews.
What else did I miss? Any new amazing offerings?

For the BOG you'll need 12 RA credits and at least one graded class. A combination of TECEPs and UExcels should work.
Also, Pierpont didn't take my A&I Lit...just a heads up.

Yup, the BOG AAS is going to be an awesome choice. Go to WVNCC or Peirpont as they do not have a 3 credit residency requirement, however; you must transfer in at least 12 credits that are from an Regionally Accredited college or university. For the remainder of the credits, you can use ACE, such as Study.com or StraighterLine.

12 - that could be an issue, I am sure my time at UPenn is way past it's time...
RE: Catch me up, I feel I missed so much - quigongene - 12-17-2017
I submitted RA credits from the mid 90s and they were accepted.
RE: Catch me up, I feel I missed so much - Ideas - 12-17-2017
Some history, science, and other Study.com classes are losing UL at TESU.
There's Modern States now that lets you take a CLEP for free.

That is still about a decade newer than mine - time to research some RA school options
