ACP credit vs. "direct" credit

[cookderosa]

Oh, no!  I hope not before I manage to finish Statistics.

I didn't check them all, but they look like most expire 3/2018  

It's showing the only 2 stats ACP courses as being Saylor and Pearson- are you doing Saylor?

Hi. This may be a stupid noob question, but if Saylor's ACP status expires, does that mean those courses are worthless after 3/18, or does that mean ACP is itself going out of commission and only ACE/NCCRS will be accepted at Big 3? I'm asking because Empire State seems to take a lot of ACP courses and I get a deal on tuition as an NYS resident. Sorry if it was answered in another thread.

I actually have an email from Saylor's executive director telling me that they are getting ACE evaluation on the courses that are currently only ACE via their ACP participation. I wouldn't worry just yet, I think this will be fine. (ps. that's not at all a noob question- I think it's pretty sophisticated. )

ACP is a subset of ACE - everything (I think) that is ACP is also ACE, so don't worry, you'll still get ACE credit for those courses.

It looks to me like ACE was trying to come up with a group of inexpensive courses people could take and transfer easily back to certain schools - sort of like SL has partner schools that will take their credit directly - but it just didn't all pan out.

"everything (I think) that is ACP is also ACE,"

This has to be true..... though as far as I know, it hasn't been tested and proven true. So, since we're just musing now, looking at an ACP course via Saylor that is not also ACE as Saylor, I wonder what would happen if submitted for credit? You couldn't *technically* get it entered into your account because there wouldn't be a drop-down for it. As an example, go into ACE's database and look at Saylor. You won't find stats- it's not there. It's under ACP, so my question would be *how* to get it on an ACE transcript if ACP folds? Again, Saylor made a point of saying that those courses are going for indy ACE approval, so all of this will probably be moot, but it's still an interesting question.
