Also, my understanding was all the micro bachelor's programs cost at least $100 per credit to be put on a transcript. What am I missing?

You're not missing anything, the Verizon option doesn't have these classes available for free... I tried both my accounts, one with Verizon and the one I used for EdX MicroMasters for TESU.  There are no freebies that can be done for credit on the Verizon one when I tried a few months ago, I haven't tried now...  Here's the previous thread: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-edX-Verizon-Skill-Forward

"physically" dialing the office and asking + detailing the course/links + sharing urls (the cert has a "verify" url on it also). and they generally said "yep, I see that its accredited" (paraphrasing, but they basically read back the ACE page credit section "word 4 word")

"The Big Ask" now, is a residency free option, now the the "old" PP-CCTC BOG is defunct as an option (Please, forgive my ignorance of "stuff", I am fully self taught 1-man'ing this run of mine)

PS: Same convo's, I generally got "OAC Politics" (Ontario's old "academic credit/13th grade", which is seen as a 100-series "intro to politics" 3 SH/Credits) okay'ed as accepted

Interesting! I thought that they required a Credly transcript, but if the ACE guide itself is sufficient...

This is awesome news, since it means that CS50 can now be taken as a for credit course! According to edX, these are the CS50 courses with corresponding credits.
