Does anyone know if COSC would accept Public Speaking for the Oral Communication requirement? I looked under the transfer equivalents and I don't see it listed. I just want to make sure before I sign up for it.

I heard the answer was "no" another forum. Study.com works though I believe.

I am looking at the TESU and COSC transfer guides on Sophia, hoping I can find some courses that are accepted at both schools since we are not sure which is my daughter's target college for sure yet. 

Can I assume that if she takes a course that fulfills a requirement for one school, that it would at least be accepted as a free elective at the other school?

Yes, the courses will come into COSC/TESU as general education or free electives, especially if she decides to do a COSC BSGS or a TESU BALS.  I would get her to register for as many courses that doesn't duplicate the ones she already has credit for, skip the 3 foundation courses as they won't transfer to either school (Excelsior actually takes them though!).

Each course allows up to 60 days for her to complete the course, if an extension is needed, she can email to get 30 days.  I would change the start date of the classes that she registers for to a later date.  Just start one or two classes at a time, and keep changing the dates for the remaining courses she registered for (at most it allows is 3 months at a time).

For example, because of the Coronavirus COVID-19 situation and Sophia offered all their courses free, I took a few that I haven't gotten credit for yet, such as the Art His/Project Man/Visual Comm, etc.  I have about 8-9 courses added that doesn't duplicate any of my course credits.  

Even though it's not used for my BACS degree plan, I love learning new things... so, I start 1 course and changed the rest to start 3 months later.  After I am done with one course, I'll start changing the dates again to further down the road until I get all 8-9 done for credit banking in ACE.

@bjcheung77 by foundation courses do you mean the one credit courses? Is this true they don't transfer in as electives?
