I also completed Straighterline-FHSU-TESC, even after they told people they wouldn't do it. Even though it may be different since they are required to take my credits due to a SOCCOAST agreement.
Point taken. I still believe it's in our interests though as non-traditional students to have this option available. Whether TESC or EC decide to come to the table or not I still have the SL-FHSU-EC option to work with; and I'm quite happy to exploit that.
