Atabasca University for TESU UL CS courses? - TrailRunr - 03-12-2016
Atabasca Univeristy is an online school that is regionally accredited in the US by the MSCHE, so we are good there even though it is in Canada.
I saw past postings, but nobody said if it was Canadian dollars or not. But that may have been when the CAD was at parity with the USD. The CAD has depreciated a lot versus the USD. The cost is CAD$1014, which is around US$770. That is about half the price of a TESU course under PCTP. We are short 3 courses for TESU CS UL and 1 capstone outside of the MIS DSST and CSU-G Sys Analysis CBE. So the savings is around $1400 after paying for 7 passed TECEPs (it's like getting paid $200 for each TECEP you pass). If you are going Enrolled Options, the cost is similar for each school.
Register by April 10 to start by May 1

Athabasca U does not accept DSST exams or Clep exams. They are very slow in evaluations. Very slow. They are not as generous is granting upper level as I thought. They also require course outlines for ever course they do not grant upper level too. It's painful. I had a friend apply and it's been nothing but stress and heart ache for her. The premise of this school is great. Getting it done is another question.

This is for outbound transfer of credits to TESU. I couldn't care less about inbound credits. But now I know I shouldn't bother to get a degree from them.

Bump to see if anyone has considered this option for UL CS transfer credits.
