I ask because if so then you may be eligible for a (free) Pierpont BOG AAS to hold you over until your finish your bachelor. (https://www.pierpont.edu/ac/specialprograms/bogdegree)
Be sure to finish your planned PHI-384 (ETHICS - Insurance Ethics, The Institute) credits ASAP - they're free and I believe they are set to expire at the end of this month.
I'm assuming your Shmoop credits are already on your evaluation with TESU; as TESU no longer accepts Shmoop. If they're already on your evaluation and you're in an active enrollment status with TESU, then they are still valid.
What your showing under AOS UL is not listed as UL credits? This could be because they are LL# but came in already at TESU with UL and that is as they appear on your evaluation. If so, like the Shmoop if TESU has already given you the UL credit they let you keep it that way.
For your remaining LL credits it looks like OnlineDegree would have options for you ($9 per course)
When does your evaluation (enrollment status) expire with TESU? How long before you need to take a TECEP or a course to keep active with them? Also the Residency Waiver Fee is currently $2200 with Study.com affiliation (at least until 6/30/19)
I wrote up this plan before Shmoop and TESU had issues. Haven't taken the time to rewrite it with CLEPs and OD courses yet.
All my transfer credits were from a local state university. With the exception of two CLEP tests all these credits are placed in the chart according to where TESU put them. I became inactive (by accident) last month at TESU and have left my status as inactive due to not knowing how quickly I'll be finishing things up and not wanting to pay/put pressure on the situation until I knew for sure I'd be able to enroll in my Capstone very quickly. I'm not there yet, thus inactive. Not sure how that'll effect my transcript evaluation yet. I took my residency waiver with the Study affiliation when I first became active. Does that expire if you go inactive?
Thanks for the heads up on The Institute course! I'll try and get that in today or tomorrow.
Thanks all for the opinions so far :-) I'm feeling so discouraged over how long this is taking, especially knowing that it's taking so long because of money but I need it to make the money (circular problem as old as time, right?).
"Cost: The Institutes offer Ethics and the CPCU Code of Professional Conduct at no charge. If you wish to earn continuing education (CE) credits for passing the 50-question, objective, online exam included with it, a nominal $5.50 administrative fee applies."
Went to start up the Ethics course through The Institutes and saw this. Has it always cost $5.50? Am I looking at the right class? This is the one listed in the resource guide thread.
