College to convert ACE credits - Miyabi - 03-12-2023
My husband has about 90 ACE credits from the military. He needs to take a single class through a RA college that will accept those credits and convert them to semester units. He does not need to complete a degree.
Looking for cheap, easy, and fast.
Any ideas?

You need to explain what you mean by "convert them to semester units". We know a few colleges that accept ACE credits, but that only helps you earn a degree at that school, or perhaps use them for employment or licensing purposes. It will NOT help you use them at a college that does not accept ACE credits.

This probably for liscening or employment purposes. For example in my state to be a substitute teacher you need 60 college credits. I never actually taught but I applied and got the job. I was told as long as the credits were on an RA transcript and showed 60 it worked. My CLEP counted for this purpose and combined with CC creidts, CLEP on my cc transcript I had 60. The lady told me you could have all D-'s or all Gym classes they didn't care as long as it was 60 on an RA transcript.
Another example was I applied for a grant funded job that required 24 college credits same thing. ACE, CLEP, anything counted as long as an RA transcript showed 24 credits.
I think you best bet is TESU. Apply to TESU and take the medical terminology TECEP (1cr test out). The cost would be the application fee and the cost of the TECEP. TESU accepts a lot of military credit.
Plus added bonus if wanted he would have one year to chip away at an associate and/or bachelors degree before having to re-enroll. Dont go as credit banking student I think that costs more. Just apply and pick a program if he doesn't actually complete it. Also if he is still in the military TECEPs count for residence so if the credits lined up right it would only be 3-4 more test outs and 1-2 more classes for an associates degree. 4 teceps+1 class for aa, asnsm and 3 teceps+2 classes for aas, as.

It sounds like you need to get your JST credit on a transcript for a job or promotion or something similar.
The one RA credit sounds like you are applying for the Piedmont AAS program or something that requires it.
Is this correct?
If so someone here will be able to help you with a clearer plan than I can.

Bonus!! Application fee is waived for military and veterans. There should be a link on tesu website that shows hwo credit comes in for some military programs.

You may not NEED a degree right now, but it's kind of difficult to beat Pierpont. Take the $25 ASU class, spend $99 on one month of Sophia for the necessary 5 classes, add the 90 ACE credits as electives, boom! You've got both an AAS and the credits listed on an actual transcript. TESU would be only marginally cheaper and you wouldn't even get the AAS.

The only benefit is TESU MIGHT accept more criedts.

To clarify this is for a salary bump based on credits earned. Ace credits are not accepted unless they have been accepted and transcripted by a RA college.
Basically, we're looking for a college where he can take a single college class and that would allow him to transfer in at least 12 of his ACE credits and show those credits on a transcript.
He has zero interest in, or time available to, pursue a degree and there is no benefit to him having a degree vs the transcripted credits at this point in his career. (We're old.)

You could utilize the credit banking system at TESU or Excelsior university. Either or will provide a transcript of credits.
