What are FEMA credits?

[KayV]

If you are absolutely certain that you don't want to get an associate degree from Charter Oak, then you will need to pay the $515 Credit Registry fee to COSC. They will put all of the FEMA credits on your transcript and you can send it forward.

If you decide to get an associate degree, you would pay the $75 fee to enroll. The only class you have to take at COSC is the Cornerstone. Everything else can be taken online or by testing.

Here is an idea of an AS through Straighterline classes and FEMA.
