How do The Big 3 + UMPI Handle >20 Year Old RA Credits?
#1
I have some RA credits that are >20 years old. At least for the general education credits, what are the chances that these will still transfer? Or, are they too old to "count" towards a degree in any capacity? In case it matters these credits were earned on the quarter system not the semester system. Thanks!

The Big 3 will all take old credits for GE. Most of mine were more than 20 years old. The coursework in the major for SOME majors are a bit stricter (my TESU BSBA would only take 9cr that were older than 10 years in the AoS for example, but no age limit in the Core).

UMPI will accept 20 year old credits. It depends what they are of course. Quarter credits will be converted to semester credits. If nothing else they'll probably work for general electives. What are the courses?

Good to know. I don't have the list handy, but some general ed credits and some (now worthless) IT credits.

Your credits are definitely not worthless. 

TESU has a computer science degree. However, the TESU IT degree isn't recommended since there are few alternative credits for their program. You could also do a BSBA concentration CIS and then pick up an associate's in computer science for free. 

UMPI has the BSBA project management, which is really a management of info systems degree. 

For WGU, they do have strict limitations on how old credits can be so it would be a lot more work/time to go there.

I brought in almost 70 credits that were 30+ years old. TESU didn't blink an eye. They would have rejected any CS credits that were over 10 years old, but I didn't have any.

I think they'll take them, you just can't use them in the AoS.  They'll work in Science, Free Electives, etc.

They will take old CS credit and you can use them in your AOS. They put a limit on how much you can use in the AOS.
