Urgent college credits
#11
You have options: 1) TESU: Complete CSMLearn if you need math and afraid of that subject, InstantCertCredit if you need American Government, CLEP/Sophia.org for the bulk of your lower level. You can use ACTFL/Study.com for the Upper Level requirements. 2) UMPI: Pretty much the exact steps for up to 90 credits, but the 30 credit requirements will need to be completed at UMPI.

Here is the kicker, from reading through your "older posts and posts from the last two days", you've been taking your time with credits over the years. That signifies to me, the UMPI may not be your best option, as "life happens" and other commitments have been taking up your energy/time, the momentum isn't there to finish UMPI degrees in 1 or 2, even 3 terms. If you hit 4 terms, the cost/energy/speed to finish is exactly the same as TESU.

You can try to have the "credits banked at TESU" as you did before, but I would get in contact with them first. Review my last post which you quoted. ACTFL/ACE/CLEP is not recognized by CHEA/USDOE, they're not "institutions or schools". You really need to contact your employer or team that's evaluating your credentials and credits.

I will call tomorrow and ask the certification place to see what would satisfy the credits that I need. The reason that through the years I have taken the time with credits is that I wasn’t really committed to get a degree before.I was petty content with my position. I want to in the future teach Spanish and move away from Special Education. The UMPI BLS education studies minor is perfect fit for my next career move. I now just need to map my credits in Sophia learning and Spanish Clep. If you have suggestions for credits I will appreciate it 
Spanish Clep 
Sophia Learning 
Instantcert for American government 
Study.com for Math ?  Can you tell me what else to take in Study.com 

Thank you for all your input and time.

Spanish on InstantCert maybe easier than trying to deal with CLEP. Finding an open CLEP testing center is still challenging across the nation. They have online exams now but there have been issues with them based on posters here.

You want your math from Sophia - College Algebra and Introduction to Statistics. On Study you want to take Introduction to Biology with Lab unless you have a lab science already.

I'd see how you do with classes on Sophia before 100% going for UMPI. UMPI is CBE so you're all on your own without and schedules or deadlines. I say this as someone who has graduated from UMPI. I never thought I would be up for a CBE program until I tried Sophia and learned to make my own schedule and sticking to it.

If you want a quick eval, TESU is a terrible option, they take the longest. I'd do EC or COSC, they're fast (like a couple of days).
