I started this thread. Some schools are only about $650 a course, but that is still $4000 to get 6 courses. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Cheapest-grad-schools-per-credit

Do you know if the schools will consider non-graded grad credits? It would be prior learning credit on an RA school transcript. I would guess that they would ask me all sorts of questions about how it was obtained, which I don't want.

We're getting out past my experience here- but I will say that sometimes official transcripts are sent to HR, but that may or may not even be part of the interview process- I can think of 2 times I was asked to send transcripts after my interview as a formality, so in that case, I am 99% sure the person doing the interview didn't see my transcripts. OTOH, there is a local community college that asked me to upload my transcripts with my initial application (adjunct faculty pool) which are "in my file" and I have once before received a request to fill a section (I declined) but that was without even so much as an interview, so.... honestly, I wouldn't stress over something so minor. If you get the credits, you've got the credits - celebrate!
