how to verify credits?

[cookderosa]

The other people posting are fairly wrong on this account. ACE transcripts are sufficient. Whatever he hasn't translated into units at a college will fall onto his Joint Service Transcripts under the college level testing section. Even SAT/ACT scores go there too. It's pretty much a catch all for college activity. Once it converts to units however you choose to do it, it will be added again separately as a class under the appropriate heading. I only know this because I'm actively doing it. Now for meritorious advancement based on completed college, he must have actually been awarded credit for the course at the school. That would be the advantage to banking the credits. It should be 24 semester hours to go from E-1 to E-2 and 48 semester hours to go from E-1 to E-3. Starting out at the higher paygrade would balance out the cost of banking the credits and also speed up his overall advancement in the military. :0)

Thanks for posting sierraecho1.
So, here is what my son has:
Here is what he has:
FEMA, 9 (not on an ACE or college transcript)
Community College, 3 (college transcript)
ALEKS, 12 (ACE transcript)
Straighterline, 3 (ACE transcript)
CLEP, 6 (college board transcript)

So, what I'm trying to figure out, is how to consolidate everything into one source, and it seems as if 24 is the "magic number." In other words, he has 24 without his FEMA. So, if I'm reading you correctly, additional effort and cost of getting those 9 FEMA "might not" really be worth it if he's already at 24? I ask because despite all my efforts, I keep coming back to TESC as the only way to get absolutely everything into one transcript. And, the way we would do it, is to enroll and then not-complete, for a cost of almost $3000. I was cautioned AGAINST using the TESC credit bank, and I am not a credit bank fan because it DOESNT work in the real world. I want to be smart and get these on a college transcript, not a bank. So, if I removed the FEMA from my worries for him, we could simply use "any" community college that accepts CLEP, transfer, and ACE? Does that sound right?
