Pierpont AAS - how to get RA credits

[ECH90]

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.

Just to clarify, did you use ACE credits, or TECEPS and the 1 graded credit?

Neither, you can use TECEPS for graded. ACE are never graded. The one recommended or used was the freebie mentioned in the thread... see post#5

TECEP's aren't graded.

Thanks for catching that typo, as I mentioned, neither.. you can't use TECEPS for graded.

Thanks guys, I realize TECEPS aren't graded. I was wanting clarification on Askirs post that said: ”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.” and the reply from ctcarl that said: “It does but they require 1 graded credit.”  when reading this exchange it seemed to imply that other than the one graded credit, you could use all ACE credits for the RA requirement. This is different than the other information I had previously seen so I was clarifying.

So to clarify: you need 12cr of RA, at least 1cr of which must be graded; and the remaining 48cr can be ACE.

The published requirements for the BOG AAS call for 12 RA credits.

In the case of my own AAS (to be awarded 8-6-21 per ROAR) as well as that of a relative which was awarded in June, we were advised that ACE-approved credits were considered to be RA, and that a minimum of one credit must be both RA and letter-graded.

I have never seen either of these two specific requirements published anywhere.  If I had to guess, I would say that they are based on the discretion of the BOG AAS Program Co-ordinator on a case-by-case basis.

It is a fact that I have one credit from Clackamas Community College and ten from Davar Academy (which is NCCRS).  All the rest are ACE via Credly/Acclaim.

My relative had three credits from ASU, two from FCC, and the rest from ACE via Credit/Acclaim.

Thank you! This is what I wanted to know!

Should I apply now, or wait until I have the graded credit?

@ECH90 - I would apply, get your graded credit, then apply for graduation as you should have enough credits for a BOG AAS. Make sure to look on their website to see if you have enough of all the requirements. They take a while to get everything completed, sending it earlier will speed up the process. Lastly, while waiting, get some more courses done towards your Bachelors.

Upon further evaluation. I'm going to get the credits and them apply. I don't want to risk the fee below:
“ A $300.00 portfolio fee and $10.00 per credit hour acceptance fee is charged for each portfolio submitted and credit granted after evaluation.”
