COSC New Policy - Transfer Credit Updated Info

[bjcheung77]

Interesting. I think that's the best advice. But why did their admissions person tell me something completely different, at least with regard to CLEP? I was told that it isn't even subject to the new cap.  I guess that you can't rely on these folks. It would be nice for the admissions people to be informed about such things, or refuse to provide specific advice without the requisite knowledge. Why not simply refer to the registrar? I suppose that you can still "inform" students without the knowledge of such "details." 

Has the big three status been preserved? Barely. They are putting up ever-increasing and more ridiculous obstacles on the educational path of non-traditional students. At a certain point, the "generous" transfer policy will be littered with so many obstacles and caveats that the standard single school 30-credit requirement will look like a smaller and more straightforward challenge to tackle.

Just curious who you were speaking with in regards to this requirement? I was told by them as well that the CLEP wasn't subject to the 90 credits. I should go up the chain of command and speak with the associate director or something, to clear up some confusion...

I think the Big 3 are making changes, but not necessarily for the worse, it may be to conform to newer requirements set by the accreditation agencies or within the state. Further to that, they may need to make changes to their programs to conform to specific requirements for programmatic/secondary accreditation standards.
