Thanks Publius2k4 and defscarlett. I really do appreciate your help. If I thought I had to take another FEMA course I would have done it when I did the rest. According to the TESC list each FEMA course I took is one they accept. No credit value is listed on the TESC list. According to the FEMA list each course I took is worth 1 credit, though the number of CEUs varies. As mentioned previously, CEUs don't apply to a degree, so I just looked at the number of credits each course was worth. I needed ten credits, so took ten of these 1-credit courses. I what I find confusing here is that I specifically mentioned sending the transcript to a college and FEMA sends a transcript that only mentions CEUs, not credits. As long as TESC looks up each course and gives me the appropriate credit for it, that's fine, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of FEMA sending a transcript? I guess it's proof that I passed all the finals for each course, but it really seems odd that they would send a transcript that only mentions CEUs to a school that doesn't use them. Oh well.
There is only one other FEMA course I can find on TESC's list that is one I would consider taking just to be on the safe side, but I'm really ready for my Capstone, so will get the other FEMA out of the way today if I end up doing it at all (though at this point I'm leaning toward taking it simply because I want no unpleasant surprises regarding my final evaluation. Yikes. Had I taken just one more Straighterline course this wouldn't be an issue. Oh well. We live and learn, don't we? Many thanks everyone.
Stop the presses! I just took a look at Lady Grace of Pemberley's degree plan. She took the same three FEMA courses I took that were listed as less than one credit of CEUs and listed them as being worth 1 credit. I might still take one more FEMA anyway, just for good measure, but it is heartening to see that someone else has these same courses listed, but for 1 credit each instead of less.
Many thanks again one and all!
