Well--here's the deal as I understand it. If you are not a student of TESC, you can still use their credit banking service to consolidate your credits. Using that service does not make you a student--and it does not convert the credits to TESC credits. It simply records them. In other words, I believe I could have my Musician's Institute transcript sent to the TESC credit bank and they would record my classes in my credit bank. That doesn't mean they would accept them if I were to become a student--nor does it validate them for other colleges. Therefore, there's no real distinction between the credits remaining "raw" or appearing in a TESC credit bank transcript. They are simply raw credits recorded in the TESC credit bank.
Now, although I'm writing this like I know what I'm talking about, it's really just my best guess based on the anectdotal evidence I've found on the forum.
