I received a reply form Kaplan and they said that the 3 ACE credits are for completing the quizzes on the course itself. There is no need to pay for the portfolio submission first.
So, I completed the lessons and quizzes on the course, submitted a request through ACE and it was approved in 24 hours.
3 free credits
I'm assuming they will go into free electives, i'm really not sure how it will transfer to TESC....maybe student success or something.
As for the course: The course is focused on building a portfolio for a PLA from Kaplan, it guides you through all the steps needed to complete and submit the portfolio, for a price of $1500 as I mentioned in my last post. However, it is not $1500 for 3 credits, from reading the guides it seems up to 1 year of a degree can be awarded for an extensive portfolio.
The portfolio could be useful for those people that have an extensive work history, and can prove they have those skills at college level. I noticed quite a few people here that are getting degrees but already have many years career experience in IT, or business.
