Shmoop Credits? - asianphd - 09-28-2019
Hello,
Anyone have experience on Shmoop College Credit? https://www.shmoop.com/college-credit/
It is about $88 monthly + $23 for each proctored test. If I able to take 4 tests each month, the cost for each course is only about $45, way cheaper than most credits out there.
But what school will accept the credits?
My target school is either TESU or COSC.
Thank you.

TESU doesn't accept Shmoop.

TESU no longer accepts Shmoop unfortunately. As far as I know COSC still does.

Also I believe for COSC you dont even need to pay for proctoring so it's even cheaper.

I got an email from COSC.

If you have any additional questions please let us know.
It is very unfortunate, because Shmoop courses is quite cheap.

So shmoop is out for COSC?!

In December they were still accepting Shmoop. I wonder if something's changed like TESU, or if this is another case of an admissions counselor being unfamiliar with alt credit.

I'm going to guess that it's either the fact that there's no proctored final required, or the person is unfamiliar with ACE.

This is a hard blow!
Most of my planning is so related with Shmoop credits

At least now you guys have a non-western lit from Study.com to help. Back when TESU quit taking Shmoop we didn't even have that
