The likelihood of ACE going away as an institution is slim. The likelihood of an individual course provider, be it ACE approved or NCCRS approved, is very very high. We've seen a bunch of them disappear just over the past few years. When this happens to an ACE reviewed provider, you're covered if you've already added it to your ACE transcript. As far as I can tell, NCCRS has no backup plan in this situation.

I agree.  There doesn't seem to be any sort of plan for if a provider goes down the tubes at some point.  

JavaOnline.org went under, and they were NCCRS.  Now, they're just gone (no website), and I don't imagine you can get a transcript - and they were 9cr, some UL I think, as well as fairly expensive (at least as far as most courses on here - but decently priced for what you got).  If you'd spent the time and money to take those courses, it would be heartbreaking to lose the credits (although obviously you don't lose the knowledge).

I've actually seen a few come and go like AlignDegree and JumpCourse; luckily they were both ACE, so if you had any of their courses on your ACE transcript, you'd be fine.
