Criminal Justice UL courses - ab10365 - 06-26-2020

Hi I hope everyone's doing well.

I'm wondering if anyone has successfully found UL alt. credit sources for TESU's Criminal Justice AOS courses.

I need to find UL credit for 5 of the following:
  • Criminology
  • Law Enforcement (Offered at Lumerit, TEEX, & CSU Global but it's not clear if it's UL.)
  • Procedures (Offered at Lumerit; Level is unclear)
  • Corrections (Offered at Lumerit; Level is unclear)
  • Juvenile Justice (UL credit can be completed at SDC)
  • Research Methods
  • Ethics in the Justice System (Offered at Lumerit; Level is unclear)
  • Juvenile Delinquency (Only found as UExcel but it turns out it's LL)
  • Gangs
  • White Collar Crime
  • Forensic Science (Does TEEX Death Investigation satisfy this?)
  • Terrorism
  • Critical Thinking for Homeland Security
  • Counterterrorism
  • Homeland Security: Preparedness, Prevention, and Deterrence
  • Protecting the Homeland: Response and Deterrence
The only UL Criminal Justice course Study.com offers is Juvenile Justice. I also see that there was previously a Law enforcement DSST exam but the ACE website says it hasn't been recommended for credit since 2014 :/. I also see that people previously used Propero but are those still accepted at TESU? For some reason I feel like I read that the're no longer accepted. I could be wrong.

Can anyone clarify if any of the Lumerit courses come in as UL? If not, where else can I find UL credit? 
Who can I email at TESU to answer these questions as well?

Check Penn Foster on ACE, because of what it says here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Unofficial_List_of_Course_Equivalencies_for_Penn_Foster_%26_Thomas_Edison_State_College

First, as it says on the website, the list of electives is a guide, and you can bring in other CJ-related courses; so the TEEX course will work, and comes in as AOJ-340.

Juvenile Delinquency (Only found as UExcel but it turns out it's LL) - it IS an UL course (exam), but it's TESU's policy to bring it in as LL.

These Lumerit courses are all LL via ACE.

CSU-Global doesn't allow you to take SSA's unless you're an enrolled student taking at least 1 course.

Thank you for your response. When I checked ACE's website, it seemed that all of the courses that were previously recommended for UL credit haven't been renewed, & that all the current courses are recommended for lower level credit.  Some of them I only missed by a few months, but some haven't been renewed for years  Sad. Still thank you for the link. I'll contact TESU & cross my fingers lol. I only really need to find 3 more courses since the TEEX Death investigation course is considered UL.

Wow you are a LIFE SAVER. I was starting to believe that I'd have to take these courses at TESU (which I would like to avoid if at all possible). Thank you so much!
