Crippling self doubt! (aka starting college at 40!)

Looks like you can get up to 9cr for a private pilot cert:

I've definitely read some conflicting things. It seems like you can only get credit for the pilots license/ground school if you're enrolled in their aviation degree.

Am I wrong to assume that most of the alternative credits will basically go towards my free electives requirements, with the exception of those things that are requirements and fit with those (like Math courses from Aleks etc)

I went to flight school in 2004, so I would fall under needing additional review. My pilots license is also from the CAA (Canada) and not the FAA (USA) so I'm not sure it would be worth all the work for what may end up just filling electives. Either way, it's good to know. To me, ground school wasn't much harder than taking the written test in drivers ed, but I know most people struggle with it. I lost my medical a few years ago due to health issues but my fiancé is also a pilot, so I continue to fly with him. I could easily fo and take my ground test at Frederick Flight Center since that is where we keep our plane. It would be similar to having to go take the written for your drivers license and it would be easy enough for me to just retake it. 

I'd rather spend my time sorting out my FEMA credits and what, if any of those, I can use. I want to say I've got at least 30 credits, including the Emergency Management Institute Professional Development Series. You can definitely tell the times when I was stuck in a location where there wasn't much to do and the internet only worked well for certain things. No cell service + VPN that only seemed to work to connect to FEMA.gov + plenty of time to kill = FEMA IS courses completed! 

I know about the ability to transfer them via FCC at $88 per credit but I wasn't sure if they would transfer to meet any requirements other than the 27 free elective credits that I need. The free elective credits would definitely be worth it and its not too bad at $88 per credit. Thoughts? 

I'm going to go read through some of the threads on FEMA IS credits to see if I can find an up to date, accurate response on the FEMA credits since several of the big 3 contradict themselves with "less releases saying they'll accept them and the FAQs that say they won't.
