Has anyone had any luck with UOP accepting FCC (Frederick Community College) transcripts...specifically the FEMA courses? Waiting on a call back from my advisor as to whether or not they will accept them. I need 23 general ed credits to finish up a Business Management degree.

Thanks in advance.

I do not know about the University of Phoenix, but the college that I attend which utilizes the UOP format, would not. They stated that because the FEMA courses were pass/fail, they would not accept them from another college.

I hope you have better luck than I did....

Abso-freaking-lutely.

UoP is a ripoff.

Over $1500 for a 3 credit cheesy class??? I work with a guy that did his ENTIRE Bachelors there. He owes over $50,000 in student loans. For a UoP degree. I clued him in to CLEP and DSST after the fact. He turned 15 shades of white.

20 UL Credits to go (7 tests)

You could take 25 DSST tests or 27 CLEP tests for the price of 1 UoP class.

They quoted me 595.00 a unit, I hung up on the dude!

But, for some strange reason they are very popular out here in Cali?

Ah, they are now almost $1800 per 3 credit class. People like them for their easy breezy 5 week do-nothing for an A "classes" that their employer will reimburse. Intel caught on to their charade and disqualified UoP from Intel's reimbursement plan.

One of the folks I worked with received a MBA through them at a HIGH PRICE(Air Force T/A picked up the Tab) and ? is selling pre-paid legal/Pyramid(MLM)

What a way to use your MBA, I would actually go for the Pepperdine MBA that they are offering in town to the military, at cheaper rate!
