South Texas College - CBE Programs

[HogwartsSchool]

South Texas College has several CBE programs that are affordable for in district it's $850 and out of district it's $910.  
For out of state, it's roughly $1500 for a 7 week term - I wonder if international students are charged this rate fee.

I tried enrolling and they wouldnt accept my AAS degrees from a community college in Oklahoma. I have 120 credit hours altogether between them and WGU, and they only allowed like 30 credits to transfer in. None of my ACE credits would transfer, either, and I have Saylor, Sophia, and Straighter line classes. 

NOT worth it unless you are starting new. Same for TAMUC. For some reason they don't like Tulsa Community College or WGU. I would have to do a ton of classes again. 

I'm doing the Coursera IBM cyber cert now and plan on taking a TEEX program then transferring to TESU or Charter Oak to finish.

Have you looked into UMPI?

Did they tell you the reason they wouldn't accept your courses?  That's always important, and they normally give you a reason.  The most common: 1) they aren't RA credit (probably not the case here); 2) they aren't college-level (meaning developmental, or for a certificate program or something like that); 3) they don't fit into your degree plan (this is THE most common problem).

So, until you get an answer about the REASON, you don't have anything to go by.  It could be that they didn't get your transcript, or they got several transcripts, and did those, and didn't get to the CC YET, but will.  All kinds of things can happen.

Your best bet is to call them and ask WHY.  That is what gets you information you can use (and it may help with other schools going forward).

There's a certain number of upper division credits one needs for a bachelor's degree. There's not much they can with multiple AAS degrees that probably had nothing but lower division credits. AAS programs are heavier on the major area of study than general education, so if the associate's major doesn't match with the bachelor's degree major, most of the AAS courses won't fit into the program.

Texas also has a common core for general education requirements that public colleges and universities must follow.

I figured this was the case - between GE and UL, the courses just didn't fit into the degree plan.  But that's different than "they didn't accept the credits." So it's important for them to get a more detailed explanation of what's going on.
