@Chilow, follow the Pierpont WIKI, I would do the ASU 1 credit class first and you can then apply plus send that transcript to Pierpont. For your Google and Sophia.org classes that generate ACE recommendations for college credit, you store that in your Credly account and can send unlimited transcripts free, I would do them in batches though as you don't want to overload the number of transcripts and provide extra work each transcript you send... Thus, do one provider at a time, transfer the credits, such as finish all the Google cheapies/freebies first, TEEX, then send the transcripts, do the Sophia.org (all of them) and send one final transcript from Credly.

I just registered for an account with ASU. Got the confirmation email stating to wait 2-3 days for my ASURITE ID.

Can you clarify your comment on the Credly account? Should I register for that now? Should I complete the 1 credit ASU class, put it in Credly immediately? Sorry, not familiar with how Credly works. When should I register for Pierpont? Do I wait until I have 60 credits from Sophia before transferring to Pierpont or do it all at once?

You're going too fast and rushing things, I would review what's in the current thread already. ASU 1 credit can't be placed into Credly, as it's not an ACE recommended for credit class, it's a graded RA class that transfers directly from ASU to Pierpont through Parchment, total is $25, plus the $15 transcript fee, you can apply to Pierpont anytime as it's free to apply, sending in transcripts can be done over time. Once done, sign up for Credly, complete all the Sophia.org classes that do not have touchstones, send them to Credly all at once. Don't do the Coursera/TEEX until your subscription for Sophia.org is over, otherwise, you're wasting monthly membership on freebies... You can do the Coursera/TEEX certs/classes that give you ACE credit, once done, send those to Credly and another from Credly to Pierpont.

That makes more sense. I got confused because I remember reading somewhere that Pierpont doesn’t accept Parchment. Thanks for the tip on not starting the non Sophia classes to save money!

This is true when it comes to Sophia classes. Parchment is fine for other colleges and universities. ASU is a university, so ASU Parchment is fine. Sophia needs to go on Credly.
