I just got the results to my last test in the mail. It was the TECEP English Comp I and I scored a 98. I will fax the transcript request tomorrow to get it sent to Excelsior. It is the only transcript they are waiting on. Officially it will be a B.S. Liberal Studies with an area of focus in Criminal Justice/Protective Services. I ended up using credits form 9 different sources. Here is a breakdown:
Grossmont College - 24 LL credits (Took these classes at B&M in 1996)
United States Border Patrol Academy - 12 credits total, 4 of them UL
American Military University - 30 credits total, 9 UL
FEMA - 13 LL credits
The Backup Training Corp. (transcribed into credit through North Idaho College) - 17 LL credits
DSST - 6 UL
CLEP - 6 LL
ECE - 12 UL
Excelsior College - 1 LL (info lit)
TECEP - 3 LL
I will be the first in my Family to graduate from College! I want to give a big thanks to the people on this board. I learned a lot from here and have been using that knowledge to help family members and co-workers learn how they can do the same thing I have.
Before anyone asks, yes I'm planning on a Masters (or two) but will probably wait a few months to start as we are expecting our third child in October.
