The only information I can find about this is not about getting the ACE recommendation but getting credit through Charter Oak:
They must have decided it didn't benefit them financially to grant ACE credits, which I think is shortsighted. I think they'd get much higher enrollment for these certificates if people could get ACE credits just by completing them, rather than having to pay hundreds extra to get a college to transcript them.
But hey, maybe that's part of why 2U is going bankrupt.
