Saylor in the Alternative Credit Project

[Al2010x]

So - I can barely wrap my brain around the cool options opened up via ACE's Alternative Credit Project. I thought it would be helpful to share the courses offered through Saylor. You'll notice the course numbers in the Saylor catalog are assigned ACP QUALIFYING COURSE numbers, which is how it appears on your ACE transcript. For those that don't remember, these courses were not ACE evaluated before, they were only NCCRS accredited- making transfer harder for some students.

Saylor courses cost $0 and you only pay $25 proctor fee through Proctor U when you are ready. When you pass the final, you put the class on your ACE transript. ACE now guarantes transfer into specific colleges that are on record saying they will accept these courses. TESC and COSC are on the list, Excelsior is not. I don't know if EC accepts these or not, if you're a student, check first.

So, just for emphasis, each of these 3 credit courses costs TWENTY-FIVE dollars TOTAL. That's 8 bucks a credit. :willynilly:

Do you believe if any of these will be considered UL at either TESC or COSC?
