TECEPs do not need ACE or NCCRS approval because they earn one credit from a regionally accredited college. Regional accreditation trumps ACE and NCCRS approval. You don't transfer TECEPs; you transfer credits earned by passing a TECEP. TECEPs are just internal challenge exams with a fancy name. They are no different from Ohio University exams or any other college or university's challenge exams. When you earn credits from TECEPs, the courses are coded on a transcript just like an online, guided study, or ground course at TESC. The only difference is that you will see "CR" instead of a letter grade. This is the only problem one might have when transferring credits earned by TECEP. The school you're transferring to might be confused by the pass/fail designation. This is the same problem one can run into when transferring credits earned by courses taken at Western Governors University or even Brown University which gives students the option of taking courses pass/fail.

When you want to transfer credits earned by TECEPs, do not ask the school you're transferring to if they accept TECEPs. Ask them if they accept pass/fail credits earned at a regionally accredited college. If they are still confused because TESC's courses come with letter grades, tell them that their challenge exams are graded pass/fail. Challenge exams are usually graded pass/fail, so this should be easier for them to understand.
