New Study.com courses (9/19/19)

[jamshid666]

All of the classes that were upgraded were scheduled to expire on 11/30/2019. Based on that fact, I bet we see History 308 get upgraded soon as it is also scheduled to expire at the end of November. All of the remaining courses that are expiring at that time are appropriately classified as either lower or upper based on their course numbers.

All of Study.com's UL courses have assignments of some kind (and some LL as well), so I'm not sure what you're discussing here?

Not sure if you're referring to me or the post above mine. If you're referring to mine, I was comparing the pros and cons of the Study.com versus Coopersmith Physiological Psychology course - one has extra assignments (Study.com), while the other has essay questions on the exam (Coopersmith).

History 308 is already UL through NCCRS, so it getting upgraded through ACE probably wouldn't change much. However, I still hope it happens in case one of the Big 3 stops recognizing the NCCRS evaluation and lets ACE override it.

HIST 308 is already considered UL through NCCRS, so you can get it that way instead of ACE.

True, but I tend to not pay attention to NCCRS only because they don't offer the transcript service like ACE does.  I know it's silly of me, but that transcript service is kind of like insurance if a provider happens to close up shop.  I don't see that happening with Study.com, but others on this board mentioned some provider that offered classes in Java that were accredited by NCCRS but not ACE.  That company went out of business, and the people that took their courses no longer have a way to prove credit for it.  When you consider I have sources of credit on my ACE transcript that are around 20 years old, it seems to have more longevity.

So if you're going to TESU, you HAVE to use Study.com's transcript service anyway, so putting it on ACE doesn't matter.

If you're going through another school, and the difference is UL (NCCRS) vs. LL (ACE), you're way better off going through NCCRS for the UL credit, and then maybe putting it on your ACE transcript later.

There's nothing that says you can't put it on your ACE transcripts AND use NCCRS, or putting it on ACE even though your school might require a direct transfer of credits like TESU does with Study.com.  You can do both.

I know, my preference isn't logical so much as paranoid about future possibilities.  Here's a question though: if I finish a course at Study.com and it's listed as LL credit but then later it changes to UL credit, would my credit get upgraded or would I have to retake the final exam to trigger a new finish date?

In terms of ace courses you would have to retake the course to trigger a new completion date.  However, study.com and TESU are partnered, so they do not necessarily follow these guidelines.

Not sure what the Study.com-to-TESU transcripts say, but I know that ACE shows the LL or UL designation.  I would say that if a course is upgraded, you have to re-take it to get the new designation.

TESU and Study.com may be partners, but TESU generally follows ACE guidelines, so I would go by what ACE says.

As you can see, it shows the credit recommending agency.

That's cool, will that show up in the "My Documents" section once TESU processes it?  How long did it take from when you sent it from Study.com before TESU actually reported what transferred?
