Does anyone know if there is any type of official guide out their that lists alternative or economic ways of earning credits that are regionally accredited ?

That's a great idea. I've been thinking there ought to be a book on this also. Something like, "Non-traditional college credit for dummies." Seriously though, it's a market that's yet to be effectively exploited. Sounds like a future thesis topic.
