I have been reading through some threads this morning and have a little bit of confusion.  Does Pierpont still require the 12 RA credits or is it down to one RA credit that can be obtained from ASU?

As of right now, you only need 1 graded RA credit. They currently count Sophia credits as "RA credits". This could end at any time, so the sooner you get your AAS the better.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA

Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)

Thank you, I have 90 or so Sophia credits plus the CLEP for American Govt so hopefully I can get the degree.
