We know only the info provided by you and your posts, you may have 120+ credits from Coursera, Sophia.org, and other providers combined, but without creating a spreadsheet, you're not going to know how many credits will hit your institutions that may work for you. You're already rejecting some institutions because of possible deployment, we don't know when that time frame is either...
At the time being, you can only decide on the CBE or Big 3 options, if none of these fit, you'll have to do some research into other institutions not mentioned on the board. My suggestion so far remains exactly what I mentioned earlier in my post #7 - compare spreadsheets, decide from those institutions on the CBE & Big 3 and decide which one is closer to finish with least resistance. Hmm, Excelsior might fit the bill if you have 113 credits or TESU will if you have 114 credits transferable... What you should be concerned about is both what you mentioned, and the transferability of the credits you currently have.
Member Wrote:Hello! BJ,
I hope this email finds you well.
I am pleased to share that I've made significant progress. I have successfully transferred my Sophia credits and units from other colleges to UMPI. However, I need your assistance with an issue I encountered. I transferred a total of 101 credits, but only 69 were granted, leaving 51 credits unaccounted for. Could I kindly request that the advisor reassess my transfer credits? I have the remaining degree requirements from UMPI, along with the transferred units, and would appreciate your support in resolving this matter.
Thank you
It's great you're providing an update, but I can't access the file, nor do I have the basic info. What degree again? I can't help without knowing the full picture. It's best to have the advising success coach send you a highlight of what you're missing, then complete the Sophia.org or Study.com courses recommended on the WIKI.
I am regularly amazed with the breadth and depth of the collective knowledge of members of this forum. I have spent enough time here, and at the sister site, to be reasonably familiar with the primary transfer friendly universities commonly recommended here. If one of those programs worked, I wouldn't have posted requesting advice.
Surely there are at least a few regionally accredited, online universities with asynchronous courses, non-proctored exams and normal writing requirements that accept 90 hours of ACE credit. Perhaps I am mistaken.

The military can usually arrange on base proctors that a school will accept. Have him check if he has a "Military base education officer".

Thanks Ares. My brother is volunteering to defend Ukraine. There is absolutely no educational support, especially for foreigners like my brother. I know the US military provides a wealth of education benefits for current and former soldiers but my brother is a diabetic and they wouldn't accept him.

Ah OK so if he is not a member of the U.S. Military then I agree that his best option is TESU and transferring in 114 credits.

UoPeople has been "pending RA" for some time. Unless things have changed a lot while I haven't been active, I wouldn't pin many hopes on them getting RA (yet).

It's only two classes but I don't know how my brother could take those proctored classes with his unstable internet

Nothing has changed. They're still pending and have a lot of things to work on before they can move in the process. Welcome back!
