WGU doesn't take everything ACE takes either, just fyi.
And it was a huge deal when they stopped taking Shmoop because it was so unusual. And it was for a specific reason, not because there wasn't a pre-approved agreement. The pre-approval is certainly new.
WGU was never considered part of the Big 3 partly because of how they differ from ACE/NCCRS acceptance from EC, COSC, and previously TESU.

WGU was never part of the Big 3 because they don't let you transfer 110 credits or whatever

Maybe soon... "Big 3" will be "Big 2"

I think they may be focusing on grad students more like sanantone said. Two days after graduation, they sent me an offer for a Presidential Scholarship towards grad courses. There was also a lot of grad students at graduation, at least much more than I was expecting.

Were you trying to submit instacert directly or through your ace transcript? TESU still accepts ACE/CCRS but it has to be on an ACR or CCRS transcript and since instacert is on that list the credits should be there. Now whether TESU does equivalency for the courses or not is still up to them.

Do we know what SDC courses are no longer accepted by TESU? I knew this would happen when some people kept posting how extremely easy a particular SDC course was.

InstantCert has directly confirmed that their credits are NOT being accepted right now. It's not about the ACE transcript, it's about not having pre-approval agreements in place.

The two SDC courses that they said were "no longer accepted for credit" were Microbiology and Healthcare Informatics.

Are they no longer accepted for credit at all (like not even in Free Electives), or were they referring to a specific degree and saying these courses weren't equivalent?
