    Probably nothing or next to nothing. FEMA credits, as I understand, are used as free electives, which you have to find out where they might squeeze in. Ask an Excelsior advisor.

    DSST Intro to Law Enforcement
    CLEP Intro Business Law
    CLEP Principles of Management
    CLEP Information Systems & Computer Applications

    On a per-credit-hour basis, these tests are cheaper than transcribing FEMA credits through FCC. If you're going with TESC, then I think the FEMA credits are still cheaper (FREE is still cheap!).


    Thanks for the response,

    Since I am starting from scratch with 0 credits is TESC a better choice since they accept the FEMAs Raw?

    You will have to make a credit bank at TESC which costs about $500 or so, unles you are in the military then it is $250

    TESC is tough to deal with. They won't answer any questions w/out paying $75.00 registration fee. Their customer service is flat out bad as far as I'm concerned.

    JimiT20:

    Cinderly is correct. You can fill all your free electives at TESC with FEMA credits and you don't have to credit bank them (as an enrolled student) or have them transcripted by Fredericksburg College. You simply have FEMA send your transcript to TESC and you get your credits. I saved a ton of $$$ and time by filling all my free electives with FEMA credits which I accomplished in a matter of hours!

    Best of luck!
