If I leave, its strictly due to the cost. I don't have a problem with them charging what they do; I certainly didn't have to choose them.
"Lumerit Courses are pass/fail ACE credit and won't count toward your 150 graded regionally accredited credits. These courses are identical in utility to study.com and Straighterline. In my opinion, these are a complete waste of time and money. I would have advised you to take 0 of these. I know you spent at least $450 here."
I don't believe that all of the 150 credits need to be from accredited courses. As far as I can tell ( I'm going to continue to research), the bachelors degree must be from an accredited school, and it appears the 48 credits in accounting & business courses must have accreditation. So I believe that credit by exam courses can be used in the bachelors degree, just not the UL accounting/business courses.
I'll continue to investigate, thanks again.
I rest my case. You don't know, and your VERY EXPENSIVE advisor is useless. You've come to a free internet forum to get advice from volunteers. I can help you, but from this point on, I'll need a monthly check for $1000.
