TEEX courses, RA? - Kartvelian - 03-13-2019
Are the free (and low cost) courses from TEEX considered as being RA credits, i.e. coming from a regionally-accredited university? Or are they similar to Study.com and Sophia courses, that go through ACE?

They go through ACE.

These are non-credit courses offered by an extension service. They need ACE approval to be transferable.

I was speaking to a friend about this testing out stuff and how great it is, and it turns out she has 12 credits from a CC. I was thinking something like the Pierpont BOG might be good for her to at least get some sort of qualification on her resume. I dont think she'd ever do a bachelor, but the AAS might be within her reach.
Any suggestions on a fairly cheap and quick course(s) to get those final RA credits that Pierpont requires?

A TECEP or UExcel class should meet that requirement, I think.
RE: TEEX courses, RA? - Kartvelian - 03-13-2019
Aren't the UExcel's $225? I know that's cheaper that a college course, but it does make the AAS cost baloon a bit, when compared with OnlineDegree and Study. com.
A lot of the feedback here seems to reflect that the TECEP's are no walk in the park. $75 might be manageable to her, though. Are there any fairly easy TECEPs?

I believe that 12 RA credits is sufficient the BOG AAS.

That's correct. I brought in exactly 12 for my BOG.

12 is the requirement for Pierpont. Just need to make sure not being able to produce a transcript won’t be an issue for them later. Pierpont might get it addressed, but they might not.
RE: TEEX courses, RA? - Kartvelian - 03-13-2019
Awesome. I could swear I read somewhere om this board that it was 15 credits that were required. Only 12 is great news! You guys are amazing!
I will talk to her and maybe i can talk her into taking this up. She needs to get out of retail!
