Portfolio Assessments Do Not Count as Residency Credits for Per Credit Tuition Plan

[cookderosa]

I just thought this should be made clear since there are dozens of older threads that say that credits earned from portfolio assessments will count toward the residency requirements for the Per Credit Tuition Plan. It was very confusing how TESC worded it. Marc Singer provided SweetSecret with clarification. This is what counts toward the residency requirement:


Thomas Edison State College | Per Credit Tuition Plan

"Portfolio Assessment" should really be called "PLA Course." From p. 91 of the catalog, these are what the acronyms mean.

EP = e-Pack (12 Weeks)
GS = Guided Study (12 Weeks)
NU = Nursing Undergraduate (12 Weeks)
NG = Nursing Graduate (12 Weeks)
OL = Online (usually 12 Weeks)
PA = Single Course, 12-week PLA course
TE = TECEPÂ Examination
PF = Portfolio Assessment
(after completion of PLA-200)

http://www.tesc.edu/documents/College_Catalog.pdf

:Residency requirements are met by earning credits via Thomas Edison State College Online (OL), Guided Study (GS) or e-Pack (EP) courses, TECEP exams (TE) or Portfolio Assessment (PA)."

I must be dense today.....your title says they don't count, but the bold says it does....? I read this as PA DOES count...what am I missing?
