Canadian College Diploma Credits Transferring as Foreign Credits

[omarbeila]

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.

Wait, I think I've misunderstood again. I thought foreign credits were the SAME as alternate credits, I guess I'm wrong?

In the case that the Foreign Credits are separate from alternative credits, then none of this matters, as I can proceed as planned?

So just to clarify, If I had 90 credits transfer from a Canadian, I could still do 24 credits through sophia, sdc, sl, etc? then the other 6 through TESU and complete a degree?
