Alternative Credit Project

[rvm]

Hello all. I've been away from the forum for a while. I recently received an email concerning Alternative Credit Project, which prompted me to check-in here.

Both COSC's and TESC's websites concerning ACP have the same courses Jen listed in her original post. Both COSC & TESC still appear to accept ACE-approved and NCCRS-approved courses which have an accredited college course equivalent. It seems that's quiet a large number of courses. The courses enumerated in the ACP list are amongst the many ACE and NCCRS approved courses.

Consequently, I don't really understand the Alternative Credit Project. What's the purpose of it? It simply appears to be a sampling of mostly general education courses, taught in a non-traditional setting, which should be acquired in the first and second years of college ... and, which are collected and displayed on ACP website along with vendors which are approved. This has value as not everyone possesses this information. But it simply seems to a repeat of what most degreeforum.net members already know.

Does it impact other ACE=approved and NCCRS-approved courses in relation to what COSC, TESC (and other uni's discussed here) will accept as transfer credit?

Thanks
Robin
