TESC has never evaluated the FEMA classes for college credit the way most colleges (including TESC) require. They just banked them on the transcript. Excelsior got wise to it and now requires that they be officially evaluated before awarding credit. (which is how it shoud be). Frederick Community college and many other do this. If they are 'officially evaluated' and given real college credit then EC will likely accept them.
The only change is that the loophole (mistake) is now closed.
You can continue to use (and I highly recommend) the TESC credit bank. It is a great way to put everything together on one transcript. You can still add classes to it and transfer.
If anyone has anything different please correct me but I believe I am right-on in this regard.

I was under the impression that Credit Banks were more for Professional Use than Academic Use (ie transferring to colleges).
Are there more colleges other than Excelsior and TESC that utilize Credit Banks?
I know that Excelsior and TESC examine transfer credits differently (ie TESC Does not accept CompTIA certifications for Transfer, yet Excelsior does - some UL classes as well) so I wonder if utilizing the Credit Bank from both would allow the same courses taken to fill different course credits and therefore adding credits to your transcripts simply by overlapping and having extra.
