My ECE Evaluation got me 65 Semester Hour Credits!!

Ahh, thank you Saharapost! And AlbaTiVo, I think Sahara just answered some of my questions!

Thank you both so much. I don't know what to do now because maybe my husband is right that TESC will not take the credits from Brigewater College? I am pretty sure it's accredited, but it's in England, so how would I find out? By checking the England accreditation system or the American Acceptance of Accreditation? I really would love for him to get into TESC, because it's so inexpensive for New Jersey residents and his company already has an agreement with the college which would allow him to get a lot of credit for what he already knows from doing his job.

Hmmm, I guess it couldn't hurt to have the transcripts sent from Brigewater College to ECE. He is not in a rush to finish. I am in school now, and though his company has full tuition reimbursement, it's only for approved classes. So, that means since I am in school now, only one of us can afford to take more than a couple classes. Well, as soon as we have a little extra money, I will try to encourage him to have his transcripts sent.

Thanks so much!

Thank you, Getiton1. I am assuming by EC, you meant Excelsior College.
In my case, I never applied to Excelsior College, I applied to TESC. Before applying to TESC, however, I had to evaluate my foreign credits from a NACES member institution such as:
Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) http://www.ece.org,
World Evaluation Service (WES), World Education Services-International Credential Evaluation Expertise
Education Perspective, Educational Perspectives || Home
or any other evaluator accepted by TESC.
I went with ECE. Here is a list of TESC's application requirements for foreign students and accepted evaluators:
Thomas Edison State College: Apply as an International Student

This was what I did. I registered on ECE website, declared my two year studies in Nigeria (except my high school) and the London School of Journalism Diploma program. I paid for the evaluation, ordered official transcripts from those institutions where I studied (to be sent in sealed official envelopes to ECE). Upon receipt, ECE evaluated them and sent copies to TESC. I paid for rush service (additional $80 to ECE) so I can have the evaluation ready in 3 days. If I had not paid for rush service , it may take up to 20 days or more (if am not mistaken). While I got 65 credits from the evaluation of my 2 years undergraduate studies, I got zero credits for the London Diploma program because (according to ECE), the program was not accredited. So, in essence, unaccredited programs get zero credits, it seems. I know most of the credits (aside the ones suitable for Gen Studies) will fall under electives/free electives at TESC. My Straighterline, TEEX, ALEKS courses are the meat of my credits.
