Credly/Acclaim

None of the FEMA credits transfer to TESU or COSC, no. You can transfer them to Excelsior but the cost is around $90 per credit via transferring them through Frederick Community College.

Excelsior does not accept all of the FEMA classes either. They're REALLY weird about them. I have some and it wasn't worth the work that Excelsior required or the fees.

Yeah, $90/cr for "free" credits is NOT a good deal.  Considering that there are cheaper options aplenty (CSM Learn, ALEKS, OD, ICC, Saylor, Sophia, Study.com, CLEP, DSST, UExcel, LL TECEP, TEL, etc.).

I'm helping a relative with a degree program, and the advisor had told us that if the FEMA courses come in on an FCC transcript, they will be accepted as RA credit, period.

I know from experience that the advisor may have misspoken, so I'm taking a wait-and-see approach at this point.  But we have an FCC transcript in the hopper, and should have an eval in the next few weeks.

As far as I'm concerned, $90/ea for RA credits, if they are accepted by your school and fit your degree program, can be a viable option and a very good deal.

I agree; $90 per credit isn't that much if the credits fit into your degree plan. Especially if they are accepted as RA credit. 

• TEL Learning - $66/cr but these are only general education courses.
  
• ASU EA - $106 (4cr courses) or $142 (3cr courses) per credit.
  
• Westcott - Somewhere around $166 to $250 per credit.
  
• Clovis CC - $110/cr if you don't live in NM.
  
• NMJC - $89/cr
  
• BYU - $212/cr
  
• UofIdaho - $160/cr
