Let me start off by saying thank you to all of the contributors to this forum. The information I have gathered since joining has been invaluable. It has also been the kick-start I need to complete my degree.
That being said, I have a few questions that I am hoping can be answered. I am working toward finishing my degree and have two realistic options in mind. My goal is to complete my bachelors in 2017 via exam and the occasional Straigherline/ Saylor course – Ie. Micro and Macro econ, etc. I am fortunate enough to be a strong test taker and have taken advantage of resources like completing 12 ALEKS credits this month alone. (Knowledge gained from this forum)
My main question really lies in if anyone has ever gotten a credit evaluation for a Paralegal Certification. I have a 300 Hour Paralegal Cert. from Rutgers University, which, as I just came to find is somehow not ABA approved... If anyone has any idea how many credits, or if this would be worth credit in any way I would really appreciate the info.
Thanks!

I'm guessing this was a continuing education program? Meaning you didn't have to apply to be a student at Rutgers University? If so, it's unlikely. CEU type programs are so hard to get turned into credit - you almost have to do a Prior Learning Assessment. Now, on the other hand, if you were a student at Rutgers, it will be on your transcript - you can just send that over and get credit. Depending on your college and major it will probably be an elective.
