Penn Foster Offering single course sign-up option on website now???

[emichele20]

Ok, so if I took the C# class at Penn Foster as part of my degree plan, that would be 3 ACE credits as far as TESC is concerned, right? It wouldn't be community college credit even though Penn Foster claims to be a community college. Am I right about that? I need to make sure since I can't do anymore CC credits.

Okay you may be pissed about this one but this course was only available for ACE credit up until 2/28/2011 and I do not see another course in the national guide that replaced it. I do not think that you will be able to transfer the credit over to tesc at all. Even though Penn Foster has national and ace approval it doesnt mean that it will transfer over to a regionally accredited community college. See Below:
