Looking into language teaching related degrees

It's also completely possible that you won't be able to register for free because you're not already a student, but the only way to find out would be to try. I would register for the 1-credit TECEP to see if you get charged for that. If you don't get charged, pick 4 more TECEPs to try to take. If you do get charged, oh well. Don't bother with the others.

Clarification: whether you get charged for it or not, do NOT take the 1-credit Medical Terminology TECEP. Just pay for it and ignore it.

Oh wow. The wording does imply current it's for students but who knows. I might be able to confirm this for everyone, given the timing.

I'll burn "pay for MT TECEP and don't take/ignore it" into my mind.

WGU does not allow for any transfers once you're enrolled, but everyone else does.  Some caveats:

Excelsior now charges $300 for each eval after the first one, so it's recommended to take all 113cr (and possibly a few more just in case) and send in ALL transcripts prior to getting your eval from them.

UMPI requires permission before taking outside coursework, and though they seem flexible now, I would advise that people take all courses and send them in prior to enrollment, because you never know when they will change their policy.

TESU allows for unlimited evals once you become enrolled.  And, from 10+ years of experience with them, once you get a course equivalency that you're happy with (either because they did it right or because you appealed it) and once they put a course on your eval, and you have it where you want (either because it's where they put it or you requested that it go there), it's basically locked in - even if they change equivalencies going forward, they won't mess with your eval.

Thanks for confirming that post-eval coursework basically gets locked in regardless of equivalency changes. I couldn't get the copy-paste to put your reply in quotes hence the forward slashes.

To whom this may concern: I emailed SpanTran and they said to send photocopies of scanned documents (signed w/ university stamp). You can get them translated beforehand by a certified translator (this should be considerably cheaper here but YMMV). Otherwise, they offer a translation service after the fact (after they receive the transcripts). They then offer options for evaluation services, also after the fact.
