How valid is all this information for International Students?

[Geta]

Hey all!  I came across the forum today, and I've spent hours with my head swimming with new terms.  I'm an adult and I want to get a degree purely for personal reasons, and this approach looks fantastic and makes a lot of sense to me.

The thing is, I'm Australian, and I'm just not sure how viable this is for non-American students.  I've searched here but couldn't really find anything on it.

I note that TESU accepts International Students, but I've seen a common first step in the process is to create an ACE Credit Registry account, and that requires a Social Security Number which I obviously don't have (or perhaps a student number).

Even if there's a work-around for that, I'm not sure what else I might come up against in the future, and I don't want to start investing a lot of time unless I know it's viable for me.

If anyone has any advice it would be most welcome, and if anyone can point me in the direction of any existing threads on the subject that would be great too.

Thanks so much.

Edit: Ok, now when I look at my post, I can see some relevant threads below! Not sure why I couldn't find them when I searched before. I also note that the SSN isn't a required field with the ACE account.
