COSC New Policy - Transfer Credit Updated Info

[natshar]

If this is the case then this change isn't as big of a deal. Many people on this fourm already have RA credit or CLEP credit prior to start starting their journey here. Also, some plan on using CLEP, TECEP, DSST or RA credit all along. And still others would at least be open to doing CLEP or RA credit etc if they had to. Plus Idk where military falls into this. Sure this will affect some people but a lot of people on this fourm don't even use 90 ACE credits. Think of the adults that come in here with RA credit from years ago trying to finish their degree. And even if you take into account taking 24 cheap RA credit, it would be cheaper than TESU if you choose a cheap source for RA credit. 


Sure these changes might affect some people, but it really isn't that big of a deal.

Also defining the big 3. The big 3 = the ability to transfer in most of your credits, at one time this was 120 credit. If any of the big 3 started requiring 30 credits AT THEIR SCHOOL then they wouldn't be in the big 3. This is why WGU isn't part of the big 3. The ACE part doesn't matter, the big 3 just means you can transfer in almost you whole degree. There are only 3 schools in the whole country that allow you to transfer in this much credit. Most schools require 30 credits in residence for a bachelors. That is what makes the big 3 unique and the big 3. The whole using CLEP, ACE, etc is just a loophole people found out along the way.

WGU requires 25% of the courses to be completed there - so 30 credits. That's definitely not like the Big 3.

Yeah I know that. I said that in my post.

But the good thing is WGU is still a good school to transfer credits to and it could be cheaper and quicker than COSC. But they only offer limited majors and some people don't like the pressure of having to finish courses quickly. Because if you take a bunch of terms it gets pricy.
