Pierpont AAS - how to get RA credits
#1
I know they require 12cr of RA - but are they picky about where those come from?  Do TECEP's and/or UExcel exams count?

Trying to help a friend who can do something with an AA, so this is the best/cheapest plan I can come up with.

UExcels count. TECEPs kind of count. They're not super picky but you do need to have at least one graded RA credit (I.E., can't all be TECEPs).

That's the key.  Right now, the interpretation is that while they are surprisingly liberal in what they consider to be RA credit, you do need at least one letter grade RA credit.

Great, thanks. We may stick with UExcels.

One graded, RA credit? Hmm... where have I seen that talked about around here lately?

Wonder if that would check this particular box?

When I asked, they told me they'd consider ACE (transcript FROM ACE) as RA. However now with it on Credly not sure if that works anymore.

It does.

But they require at least 1 letter graded RA credit.
