My kid will not be able to work this summer because public pools will probably be closed (lifeguard), so he would LOVE to take Cybersecurity.  It would be awesome.

I'll report back when I know something.

Yep, they called.  Unfortunately, they won't accept dual enrolled students, so I decided not to probe any further (I was doing something else).

That's too bad. I guess the thinking is that if you're currently enrolled then you must not be too affected by the pandemic.

Dual Enrolled as in high school students taking college courses.  You have to have a HS diploma or GED to take these courses.

Duh. I knew that. I really did. In that case, it's still too bad for your son. Sad

Im confuse, are this courses available for credit transfer? Like the BOG AAS  require 12 Regional credits, are this courses help full to qualify for the Pierpont associate degree program.

I want to know so I will enroll and take some courses now.

Yes, I think you can choose 1 free course and get it put on a transcript.  It's RA credit.

So none of these courses could be added potentially on ACE?

So one free class from Purdue would suffice the requirement for Piepont BOG AAS?

Since they don't guarantee credit for these free courses, nor promise credit for them toward their own degree programs, is it reasonable to expect they won't be worth credit?

That's a good question. I'm hoping I can get some answers if they ever get around to contacting me...
