TESU portfolio tips

See:

Todd Siben is wrong. He's known for being hostile to students going the less-traditional route and getting himself confused. You can try sending Marc Singer an email because his position is higher than Todd Siben's.

Do you know if there students who have received credit at the $379/12 credit rate for portfolios evaluated by TESU who:

• Did not take TESU's PLA-100/200
  
• and who took equivalent PLA preparatory courses elsewhere (such as Kaplan), or, who completed a portfolio elsewhere?
  

I know that forum user FallingWaters went entirely through LearningCounts and received credit from LC and TESU, without TESU PLA100/200. There are likely others, but that user I know off the top of my head.

Here is why I want to know. I was told back in 2013 that I had to take PLA-100/200 in order to qualify for the $379/12 credits rate. Otherwise I would have had to pay the per credit rate to have my portfolios evaluated. I was told that, even though I has successfully completed portfolios at TESU, this did not qualify me for the $379/12 credits rate. So either I was given wrong information at that time (upon which I acted and spent a lot of money that I didn't need to spend, plus it set me back in other ways that I have not discussed here), or there is wrong information being given to other TESU students who are interested in the portfolio process but who have not taken TESU's PLA-100/200.

You already had the director of the program from TESU come on in this very thread to clarify that this was incorrect. I don't know what else to tell you.
