COSC New Policy - Transfer Credit Updated Info

[openair]

We've all speculated, but here it is from the Registrar at Charter Oak, verbatim:

TECEP, Uexcel have no transfer credit limit because they are regionally accredited testing programs.
CLEP, AP, DSST are ACE providers and are subject to the 90 cr cap.

So there you have it. You can still test out of 114 credits, provided that at least 24 credits are from TECEP or UExcel. Big Three status preserved!

Interesting. I think that's the best advice. But why did their admissions person tell me something completely different, at least with regard to CLEP? I was told that it isn't even subject to the new cap.  I guess that you can't rely on these folks. It would be nice for the admissions people to be informed about such things, or refuse to provide specific advice without the requisite knowledge. Why not simply refer to the registrar? I suppose that you can still "inform" students without the knowledge of such "details." 

Has the big three status been preserved? Barely. They are putting up ever-increasing and more ridiculous obstacles on the educational path of non-traditional students. At a certain point, the "generous" transfer policy will be littered with so many obstacles and caveats that the standard single school 30-credit requirement will look like a smaller and more straightforward challenge to tackle.
