OnlineDegree.com transcript

I asked EC about this and they said that the credits will show as OnlineDegree not EC. It's $40 per transcript which is a pricey transcript. Yes, OnlineDegree courses are free, but you have to pay for that transcript and proctor fee along with not being ACE credits you may be better off taking classes through Sophia or InstantCert. 

OnlineDegree only costs $9 for the proctoring AND you can get a free transcript. Pretty cheap. Once you complete the course you have two options for ordering transcripts - on Excelsior letterhead or free from OnlineDegree.  My daughter used the free method to transfer credits to TESU.  Works fine.

They're still not ACE credits which is an issue at many schools. The website doesn't make it sound like the free transcript works with colleges. They have some weird wording on there! Back when I was going to take a class with them, you had to get the transcript through Excelsior. $40 is an expensive transcript.

You never "had" to get transcripts from Excelsior. They always offered their free transcript service, they just highly recommended their partner college(Excelsior) transcript.

That may be hte case, but that's not what OnlineDegree and CSU Global told me. Both said I had to get the transcript through EC.

Considering that TESU and other schools will not take them from the EC transcript, I find that strange.  I'm thinking that the person at OD you talked to didn't know enough to tell you anything different.
