Was approved to take the APICS CPIM exams to satisfy the concentration in Operations Management requirements for my Excelsior business degree back in April of 2009. After completing ALL the other requirements - including the capstone class - as well as purchasing quite a few dollars worth of books and study materials for the APICS exams, I learned today that, since ACE no longer evaluates the APICS exams, they are no longer accepted for credit at Excelsior. And since six months had expired since my approval was given, that previous approval will not be honored.
So, a couple of things to note for the future:
1. I haven't checked with ACE yet to see if they plan to evaluate APICS again in the future or to ask why they discontinued their evaluation, but for the time being - APICS exams will no longer accepted for credit at most institutions that use ACE as a guide.
2. Your exam and course approvals at Excelsior will expire after six months, so don't get caught out like I just did - take your exams within the given time.
Burn, dude. I had never heard of these...it would have been a great way to satisfy the Ops Management requirement, and much cheaper than CSU Pueblo's class which seems to be the standard these days.
