Possible misrepresentation of the new COSC policy

[dfrecore]

Based on trends we're seeing on the forum, more people are looking to complete all their credit from online alt. credit providers than from CLEP or DSST exams even before COVID hit, so if they don't accept 113+ credits from alt. ed. providers, they aren't likely to be the first-choice option for many students, and not really a full-time member of the big 3 anymore.

I still say they are one of the Big 3 until they no longer accept 114cr of transfer, and require more than 6cr in residency.  Once they require 30cr in residency like most schools, THEN they'll be out.  But until then, they are just a bit more difficult for SOME people to get the credits, but really, I think most people on this forum already have some credit, maybe from past schools.

Also, they're the only one of the Big 3 that requires a lab science.  Does this make it a bit more difficult to meet the GE requirement? Yes.  But does that mean that because of this requirement, they aren't one of the Big 3? No.  It's just an obstacle to be overcome in their process.  It's like TESU's residency waiver, or EC's Enrollment fee - something that makes it more difficult for some to overcome, but it's not impossible.
