FEMA & FREE College Credit courses

[japhy4529]

Just got off the phone with Red Rocks Community College

Red Rocks will transfer ALL FEMA ISP Courses to college credit.

They transfer based on the 3 credit rule, where they look at each course, pair 3 like courses, and utilize that to satisfy a 3 credit course.

Red Rocks is part of ccconline.org and has an Emergency Management Associate's program.

By taking all FEMA ISP Courses, you satisfy the Emergency Management 10 EM class specialized program they offer. They charge $15 per credit to translate FEMA courses into college credit.

Red Rocks will accept up to 45 transfer credits and require you to take 15 Red Rocks credits to satisfy their Associate's Degree

Tuition for Red Rocks is $225.40/credit for out of state tuition and $136.40/credit for in-state (Colorado)


Potentially, if you do not have any previous college credit, this is a perfect way to satisfy 45 credits through FEMA, and take 15 credits of online courseware for less than $3000.

I do not know their policy about translating FEMA courses to college credit without the intent of pursuing a degree program. The gentleman who spoke to me was EXTREMELY polite and helpful, and I did not want to offend him.

Hi,

This is good news, thanks. However, will Excelsior accept FEMA ISP courses that are transferred into credit by Red Rock CC? I noticed in the communication from Excelsior, that they will only accept these credits from Clackamus or Frederick CC.
