Difference between ACE and NCCRS?

[kietro]

The course I'm considering is through Study.com, so I think I'll be good. I have to send TESU my Study.com transcript anyway, so the NCCRS credit shouldn't be an extra hassle to deal with.

I did the same thing and it worked fine for me. (The particular Study.com course I took, BUS 209, was NCCRS- but not ACE-approved. It is also listed in the Study.com’s TESU course equivalency list.)

Here’s a little more on this, for what it’s worth to anyone working on a COSC or WGU degree (sorry if this is common knowledge!)...

I ran the same course by the registrar’s office at COSC. They told me it wouldn’t transfer because it’s not ACE. However, COSC’s website says they take NCCRS. I pointed this out to COSC, and they acknowledged that they accept NCCRS, but that they couldn’t find Study.com’s BUS 209 on NCCRS’s list—although it is. I left it at that, but I assume that if I had sent them proof they would have accepted it.

I talked to WGU once and they suggested I “stay away from” NCCRS-recommended courses that aren’t also ACE. (In particular, WGU suggested Straighterline and Saylor courses, along with CLEP and DSST exams.)

Hmmm, well now I'm not sure what to do. I know each school is different, but I'd be afraid TESU would give me trouble over the NCCRS-only approved course. I'm trying to find a course that will satisfy the Oral Communication requirement but doesn't include any speeches. I might just have to suck it up and take an ACE-approved course with speech assignments even though I can't speak formally worth a crap.

If I hadn’t already fulfilled the public speaking requirement, I would have tried to satisfy it with Study.com’s COM-120 Presentation Skills in the Workplace. It’s NCCRS but not ACE. It transfers to TESU as COM-290 Presentational Speaking. The entire course is only 27 easy quizzes and a final. Just for fun (what’s wrong with me?), I took all the quizzes. I think took only an hour or so to get through them.

That's the same course I've been considering! I've read that it fills the oral communications requirement for some, but not for others, and that you may have to ask TESU to place it there. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will work.

I am doing into to comm with straighterline right now using the $50 off coupon, pretty easy so far and same thing, record speech and put it unlisted on youtube

Did I miss the $50 off coupon? This is is the first I'm hearing about it.

Someone at SL told me they can pretty much always offer the $50 off. On August 4, they gave me a code to redeem it. It may still be good. I’m pretty new here and don’t quite know the etiquette... can I post the code, or is that something more suitable for PMing?
