NCCA Accreditation/IAAP CAP

One final thought, sometimes- though not always- it is faster and cheaper to start from scratch. There are colleges (not the big 3) that use prior learning or job certifications as a carrot to entice people to enroll. But, like an iceberg, you only see the top of what that looks like. The rest of the story can be that the remaining credits are time or money intensive- both of which can delay your degree and put you deep in debt.

24 credits is a lot, so it's worth working this puzzle for a few minutes before deciding one way or the other. Also know that it is possible to re-earn 24 credits for under $500 in 1 month. So, keep that in the back of your mind as you research.

Another aspect of the situation is what those credits come as. If they don't fulfill any particular degree requirement for you, then they can count for credit, but not be all that useful. That's one of the nice things about TESU, most of their degrees have substantial room for free electives so people can use more of their random credits. However, as Dfrecore pointed out, 24 random credits are easy to replace online, and some people get bogged down trying to rescue a handful of old credits that aren't worth the effort.

We could help you more if we knew what degree you were interested in, and what credits you had.
