Penn Foster Degree Program - Will it transfer to TESU?

[harrypotter]

I completed my entire associate degree at Ashworth College. Started beginning of 2016 and just finished last month. It would've taken me 6 months to finish the degree if I had my tuition paid in full (which is cheaper) per month. I transferred to New England College - Online, they accept your entire associate degree in any study and will take associate degrees from Ashworth (and im assuming other NA schools). There's 7 terms per year & you can take up 2 courses (8 credits) per term (except in your first term) so if transfer your associate degree from ashworth you can graduate in 13 months or less around 9 months (with extra credits from places like study.com/jumpcourse.com/ saylor, etc) . Another important note- New England allows you to concurrently enroll with other colleges (i'm going this route - just let them know your'e doing so) - so you can complete self paced @ ashworth & complete normal courses with NEC.

So, clearly they've made an exception for you (or a mistake). I'm not making an insult, just an observation that your experience differs from their written policy.

No worries. Yeah I read that as well in their catalog. Seems like they need to update their policies. I've emailed the registrars office a few times asking about NA credit and also had a couple of transfer evaluations done.
