I don't think they were lying. I think the handbook is poorly written.
From Figure 1 (page 2)
Combined Maximum Credits (48 hours): Standardized Exams ,Challenge Exams, National Guidelines, Special Assessment, Portfolio, Traditional Transfer Credit (non-WV system), Traditional Classes + 12 Credits (Regionally Accredited Institution Required) =60 Credits Governors A.A.S.
Does this mean you need 12 RA courses from within the WV system?
"12 credit hours from a regionally accredited higher education institution. A minimum of 3 credits may be required at the host institution. Petition for exception to the residency requirement may be made to the Chief Academic Officer of the host institution." (Page 3)
Ok, so 12 RA credits with a minimum 3 residency credits at host CC.
"Credit awarded through extra-institutional credit will not count toward 12 credit hour residency requirements" (Page 5)
...So 12 credit hour residency minimum?
"Twelve credits completed at regionally accredited institutions. At least 3 of the 12 credits hours must be completed at the institution awarding the degree, if required by the home institution." (Page 10)
...So back to 12 RA credits with a minimum 3 residency credits at host CC
