I believe they will take 60 LL ace and up to 30 UL ace

for the rest, you will have to go check out their website

The website's not terribly helpful.  It's pretty much standard com/tech college stuff.  I'm trying to figure out how they compare to the Big Three in terms of an AA/AS/AAS program.  They don't seem to offer a Bachelors program at all.

With that said, if you can transfer in 60 ACE credits towards an Associates, that's pretty impressive.  Do you have any experience with this school at all, or did you just come across the promotion and post it here?

75% transfer in it looks like.

Other than that, the school is Regionally Accredited.

Yes, it’s a community college in South Carolina.

You'll need to cross-reference the list of programmes with their online offerings. Not all are available for distance students.

Pity, because some of those engineering and manufacturing ones would be wonderful.

Looks like most (maybe all?) of what is available online for free is in hospitality and computers/IT. I was disappointed that their business programs aren’t free, they offer more subjects that are traditionally upper-level business courses than most of the community colleges I have seen. $1,000+/ course out of state? Nope, hard pass.
