This is because each school is different, and will bring in things differently. For instance TESU brings in credits without rounding - so a 5qcr = 3.33cr, 4qcr = 2.67cr, etc. Same thing with course numbers - put the course number down from the school you took the course as, because it may make a difference.
Also, just because it might cause some confusion for someone - Acclaim was just the name of the company that transcripted the courses, and is not a replacement for ACE credit. These are ACE credits. Now, Credly is the company that transcripts ACE credits, but you don't call them Credly credits, they are ACE credits, and the transcript is from Credly. (Acclaim was an arm of Credly, or a former name, or something kooky).
That makes sense. Thank you for clarifying about how the credit system works!

It's hard to recommend a bachelor's in Data Analytics simply because we don't have a quick and cheap path for that, and that seems important to you. He'd have to spend more time and money than for the other two choices, but it is available.
Yes, I think being able to "check the box" quickly is most important right now. I think UMPI looks like it has a good path for him. Thanks!
