Do you know if there students who have received credit at the $379/12 credit rate for portfolios evaluated by TESU who:
Here is why I want to know. I was told back in 2013 that I had to take PLA-100/200 in order to qualify for the $379/12 credits rate. Otherwise I would have had to pay the per credit rate to have my portfolios evaluated. I was told that, even though I has successfully completed portfolios at TESU, this did not qualify me for the $379/12 credits rate. So I made a choice based on a standard that I assumed would be equally applied to all students. Now it appears that either I was given wrong information at that time (upon which I acted and spent a lot of money that I didn't need to spend, plus it set me back in other ways that I have not discussed here), there is wrong information being given to other TESU students who are interested in the portfolio process but who have not taken TESU's PLA-100/200, or the standard is not being equally applied for some reason.
It would be really helpful for me to know if TESU has given portfolio credit at the $379/12 credit rate to students who did not complete TESU's PLA-100/200. I would appreciate hearing from students who have actually done it, or reading their forum posts if somebody can link them here.
Do you know if there students who have received credit at the $379/12 credit rate for portfolios evaluated by TESU who:
- Did not take TESU's PLA-100/200
- and who took equivalent PLA preparatory courses elsewhere (such as Kaplan), or, who completed a portfolio elsewhere?

BSBA/Accounting TESU (2016). MSA UIUC (2018).
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.
