I'm currently enrolled in a traditional brick and mortar university (unrelated major), but want to get a SD degree as well. Here's what I have in my ACE transcript that isn't being used in my current uni: 

-Ethics and the CPCU Code of Professional Conduct (online course)
American Institute For Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters, Insurance Institute of America
AICP-0121


-Developing Effective Teams
SOPHIA Learning, LLC
SOPH-0021


-Essentials of Managing Conflict
SOPHIA Learning, LLC
SOPH-0026



I don't have any CS or SD experience either, just to let you know. Any advice helps. Thank you all so much!


Two things. First off, your choice of grey text makes it very difficult for anyone using the default website to read. You haven't done anything wrong but some people might skip over your post instead of trying to read it. If it's because of copy/paste formatting, next time I suggest choosing "paste as plain text" instead of just paste. Smile  

Second, you say that these are what's on your ACE transcript that isn't being used at your university. Do you have other ACE classes that are being used? What are you going to take/have you taken at the regular university? Due to the nature of WGU, there won't be much overlap but there will be some. For instance, WGU does require English Composition. You can use the same class at both schools. 

For SL classes, these may be covered by what you must take at your B&M school already. However, check out https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/WGU_Academy $150/mo. for all-you-can-complete classes.

So sorry, I've got a dark theme app running on my laptop that basically turns my browser into dark mode. Didn't even realize I was typing in grey. Please excuse the illegibility. 

Basically everything from my ACE transcript I posted is what's on there. I do have an Associate's Degree from a community college (working on Bachelor's at uni), so I might have some overlap with Gen Ed like dfrecore mentioned.

Also, they will want your courses that you're taking at your school now.  There's no such thing as courses being "used up" for a degree.  So if you complete your degree at your current school, WGU will exempt you from any GE credits, as well as look at every course you've taken and apply them to the major if possible.

I see. I didn't know you could use courses more than once, very good stuff to know, thank you. I do have an Associate's, so I might be able to gloss over a few courses at WGU. Thanks!
