ACE Recommended Course

[dfrecore]

Hi Everyone,
On what basis can a school refuse to take ACE recommend courses from SDC?
I initially signed up for the college accelerator plan with SDC thinking that it would be much easier to just take 2-3 courses per month rather than taking time off from work to go to my local CLEP testing center.
To my surprise, when I initially asked my admission counselor at SNHU if they accept ACE courses from SDC said no. Late last week I asked my academic advisor the same question and he said ‘yes’.

I sent him the SDC course names I’m thinking of taking and I’m waiting on him to get back to me.

So question: what would be the reason they don’t accept the courses from SDC especially since the ACE website lists SDC as an ACE recommended institution?

It might be helpful for you to know that SNHU has a partnership agreement with Saylor Academy that is current, so there is a precedence for them taking ACE credit.

I wanted to edit to comment about the ACE website.  That list doesn't mean that the college ACCEPTS ALL ACE credit- it means they participate.  Accepting an AP or CLEP exam, technically, means that they participate.  Still, your academic advisor is better qualified to help you with your SDC list than an admissions rep. They never deal with academic evaluations or credit transfer/ placement.  They're just the sales team trying to enroll you.

I just know from this forum that SNHU takes all kinds of ACE/NCCRS credit.  I've heard from many people over the years that this is the case.  So in this particular instance, I'm going to back to my original statement that the enrollment person is the wrong person to ask, and to ask an advisor.
