ACE Credit explination

[smithgw]

Hello everyone. First I would like to say thank you for the information you all provide in this community. It is what has inspired me to decide to attempt this journey of navigating the labyrinth of the higher education system again. I have applied to TESU and I am most likely at this time most interested in the BALS program ( dependent on review of my transcripts). My last attempt at college was was about 15 years ago and  I was there more because I thought I had to be than because I wanted to. NOW I want that degree. funny how that works. My main reason for posting is to get information about ACE. I don't fully understand what I should be doing there. I have sent transcripts from the 3 colleges I attended years ago and the air force ( CCAF)  to TESU for review, but do I need to send transcripts to ACE as well? should I create and ACE account? I do plan on taking some CLEP/DSST test as soon as I can figure out how to nail down a solid degree plan/path forward.  Thank you for your help in advance, and I am looking forward to sharing with you as this adventure progresses.
