Canadian College Diploma Credits Transferring as Foreign Credits

[omarbeila]

Where did you see that Canadian credits would transfer in as community college credits? How old is that info? TESU made changes to require RA credits awhile ago. What you're seeing could have been before these changes. They make changes every year.

I just misinterpreted the information, besides CLEP, do you know what counts for community college credits? Not that I'm opposed to CLEP, I just want to see all of my options.

There are three limits at TESU: 90 community college credits, 90 alternate credits, and 90 credits from a foreign institution. Since a degree is only 120 credits, a single student can't hit all of these limits in one degree! Foreign credits are NOT counted as alternate credits. But they're also not community college credits. Community college is a US thing. So, you've still got the ability to bring in up to 90 alternate credits (not that you need to) for your degree.

Looking at your plan, if you're not near a CLEP testing center then I would suggest taking the English Comp TECEPs. The online CLEP exams are NOT for Canadians (last I heard) but only for Americans located in the US. ModernStates is, AFAIK, also only intended for Americans and not for Canadians. Once you count testing center fees, the CLEP would only be slightly cheaper than the TECEPs.

Civil Engagement - Take this from InstantCert instead. It's only $45 there.

Natural Science - Take the science courses (Human Biology, Environmental Science, Intro to IT) at Sophia while you've got a subscription.

You can also fill your LL AOS courses with several Sophia courses. See here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...egree_Plan The exact number depends on how you feel about Statistics. Canadians may or may not have access to TEEX courses. I'm not sure.

Hey Rachel, thank you for the information and tips to save money. I've actually gotten a Voucher from ModernStates for the College Composition CLEP already, maybe they accept Canadians (I'm also currently in Egypt, near a CLEP Testing center, and they still gave the voucher to me while knowing that information). 

Anyways, I believe I might not be screwed as I thought I'd be, I just need to find 30 community college credits. 6 are through TESU Cap and cornerstone, and 6 are through College Composition. Therefore, I need 18 credits (6 courses), through community college. 

I guess my question now is, what provider counts towards community college credits? Is it exclusively CLEP/DSST? 

Thank you!
