It has nothing to do with how much they charge you. The first 12 credits will always be $379 and each additional 6 credits is $215. There is no other price listed for the portfolio assessment fees.
I feel like we are talking past each other. FOR ME, it has a lot to do with how much they charge. $379 for 12 credits is a lot cheaper than many other routes, especially for the classes I need. When you said that "...It's not a requirement for the price. It's a requirement to submit a portfolio at all..." I don't see how that is substantively different from what I said regarding needing to take the intro sequence in order to qualify for the $379 fee. In other words, if one must either take the intro sequence OR have successfully submitted a portfolio anywhere in order to submit a portfolio at TESU, then this qualifies them to get credits at a really good price. I don't think we are in disagreement, we are emphasizing different aspects.

Need help with portfolios? I earned 18 credits at TESU through portfolio evaluations. Nine of those were for upper level accounting courses. My advice for PLA/portfolios: TESU portfolio tips The first post has the Portfolio Checklist I created. Page ten has the actual narrative I wrote to receive credit for ACC-440.
Using Straighterline's Financial Accounting as a substitute for TESU's Intermediate Accounting I? Don't do it if you are an accounting major and/or want your CPA license. They are not the same course and I think TESU has erred in accepting the SL course as Intermediate I. I made this discovery here: Intermediate Accounting II.
