COSC and Studycom credit limits

[ztkerls]

Charter Oak has a limit / cap on the number of Studycom credits you can apply to your degree.  This has been confirmed twice this week - once by a colleague and once by me both with their registrar.  It doesn't apply to all ACE credits, just Studycom.

Bachelor’s degree the maximum number allowed from Study.com is 87 credits.  

Associate’s degree the maximum number of credits allowed from Study.com is 45.

Thanks for the heads up. This is strange,since Straighterline and others should also be limited since they have a similar format to study.com.

you'd think..... but I asked that specifically.  It's Studycom only.  (and FEMA which we already knew)

Does COSC accept FEMA? I feel like I've seen threads about it but I haven't seen a clear answer.

I don't think there is any other single alternative method one could use for an entire Bachelors degree at COSC besides study.com. The others just don't have enough course variety and enough upper level. Maybe use 100% Davar for a business degree? Maybe use 100% Coopersmith for a psychology degree?  But using just one source of credits isn't always the most practical.

COSC will accept up to 9 FEMA credits if the credits are related to the degree. If the credits are not degree related then the limit is 3 FEMA credits. If the credits are on an ACE transcript then they do not count toward the cap. 

That is what I found on their website:
