Thank you so much cbrchris for the detailed feedback. I really hopes it works out for you with the course and, ultimately, credit transfer to EC.
Unfortunately, Penn Foster said that the course has been updated. Worth noting is that the reply I got wass that they could not confirm (implies: nor deny) that the new course does not match ICS-0164 (ACE's).
So in short, this isn't the evaluated course. But, is it open to interpretation? I'd say most definitely:YES. I think it's going to be at the discretion of the people at EC. Fingers crossed.
I'm sorry to learn that the course has been a bit of a struggle for you at times and I wish you the best of luck.
I'm still researching options for three of the four required subjects in the MIS concentration (Database, SA&D and Programming Language). I think this will be biggest hurdle in my way of trying to satisfy the degree requirement as fast as I would've liked to (I was hoping May). The alternatives so far have mainly been the ICCP exams (yuck) or the courses from Excelsior (can you say 15 weeks?)
