UPDATE ON MY PORTFOLIOS
I initially wrote here that I would be submitting three portfolios but I determined that I could do one more. So I did ACC-406. Between Tuesday and Wednesday I uploaded all four portfolios (ENG-216, ACC-340, ACC-406, ACC-440) to my TESU Google Sites account. I paid for them this morning ($379) by telephone with my credit card. By so doing, I am now enrolled in the April term. I am now awaiting receipt of the SME's (subject matter expert) contact information. Once I receive the contact info, I will give this person access to my portfolios. I don't know how long I will wait to receive the contact info, nor do I know how long it will take for them to review the portfolios. The review process seems different than when I last did it, and I'll update again when I have more info.
I will say this for now: it seems like it is possible to enroll in the term first, then do the portfolios during the term. But I personally would not do it like that. I would obtain the CD/LO (course description/learning outcomes) and work on the portfolios before enrolling in the term. This way, if something comes up while working on the portfolio, there's no time pressure to finish.

Need help with portfolios? I earned 18 credits at TESU through portfolio evaluations. Nine of those were for upper level accounting courses. My advice for PLA/portfolios: TESU portfolio tips The first post has the Portfolio Checklist I created. Page ten has the actual narrative I wrote to receive credit for ACC-440.
Using Straighterline's Financial Accounting as a substitute for TESU's Intermediate Accounting I? Don't do it if you are an accounting major and/or want your CPA license. They are not the same course and I think TESU has erred in accepting the SL course as Intermediate I. I made this discovery here: Intermediate Accounting II.
