ACE Transcript for Job Application?

What I'm thinking now is I'll just apply saying HS diploma and leave the "BACJ in progress" out of my resume.... Hopefully HR will still send my application to my bosses desk. I'll just personally tell my bosses about my education when I'm just casually talking with them.

I personally would just say that you're working on your BA in CJ, and that you're about halfway through (or 75% or whatever). That's it. No other explanation is necessary on the how or how quickly you're doing it.

I would have to agree, most of my positions I've applied for, I enter in my educational level within the resume and state where I've taken courses.
So, for example, you're going for a BACJ and have 90 credits, I would enter in something like: In progress, BACJ, and not mention the credits.
Basically, if the person needs to know, they'll ask you during the interview how far you've gone with the BACJ or any other questions they have.

That looks like a state park ranger job.

If it requires n hours of college credit in order to apply (I can't remember what's been posted right now), you may not make it through the scrub without some overriding from your HR. You have college credits. They are just from unaccredited sources. If the position requires the hours come from an accredited source, again, you may be boned.

You're gonna have to go have an uncomfortable conversation with your boss and HR, or you may have to pass on this opportunity. I have given up trying to explain what I'm doing (piecemealing credits from the most inexpensive non-traditional sources.) It smells like BS to people with traditional degrees. Now, I can just say I'm going to TESU online, and that placates everybody.

Don't give up on it, and don't sell yourself short though. Your boss will know how to work HR if they like you for that slot.

He said that the job only requires a high school diploma. I think his concern is that he won't be competitive without the college credits. I think he's making the right choice to apply without mentioning the college credits. He would risk being disqualified if he can't present a transcript from an accredited college. It would be nice to see the whole job ad.
