Free electives question - Chef945 - 10-01-2017
So I've got a question I'm curious about, so you all know how modern states is giving free vouchers for clep testing and also how foreign language cleps come in at 6-9 credits sp would it be theoretically possible to sweep through TESU's free elective requirements basically for free using that method?? Thanks in advance

It's theoretically possible to get a LOT of courses through Modern States/CLEP. You could fulfill all of your GE Requirements except Oral Comm & Ethics, all of your LL AOS courses, and all of your free electives using this method. The only limit you would have would be the 90cr limit from a single source, and the fact that none of the CLEP exams are UL.
RE: Free electives question - Chef945 - 10-01-2017
Okay so then factoring that in with the fact that i already have an associates degree and im going for a BALS at TESU im trying to see if its possible to knock out all 27 free electives and then some through free clep by modern states since im doing study.com for the UL/LL stuff for AOS and im trying to be as efficient as possible with the free credits available right now

If you post your credits, I can do a degree plan for you, and utilize as many free credits as possible including the normal free ones, CLEP/MS, and then making sure you know which Saylor courses are available as well ($25 for each exam).

Here it is. I show History of the Vietnam War as LL (HIS-246), and I'm not certain how some of your courses will come in (as 100-level or 200-level) so since you can only bring in 2 100-level courses, I show that you need to take 2 200-level courses to finish the LL AOS courses - which are limited to one of the Lit or Psych courses (listed).
The remaining 2 UL courses you need can come from Study.com.
I only put 2 CLEP exams in Free Electives, with the rest as the other free courses - but you can certainly switch those out however you'd like. But you are somewhat limited, since you have a lot of the CLEP exams already taken or duplicated by a course.
RE: Free electives question - Chef945 - 10-02-2017
Alright thank you so muc!!! I really appreciate all of this! Itll definitely give me a general idea of how to go through this!

Just note that currently the TEEX cybersecurity courses are scheduled to end on 10/31/2017. TEEX is aware that ACE suddenly put an end date on those courses and they are in touch with ACE about it.
