Universities in CA that accept Ace (Study, SL, and Sophia) credits

[Hotdogman1]

This is too vague, we would need more information to answer a question like this. What is the student's target schools? What GPA do they have? What do they want to do in the future? Bachelor's and Masters in what? What is their SAT/ACT scores? Do they understand what debt means and how payments would affect them after graduation?

This sounds like a situation where they should be considering dual enrollment over ACE credits. It seems like dual enrollment is available in both NY and NJ. If they don't have the grades for Dual enrollment, they should consider going to a local community college to "speed their bachelors up" then transfer to whatever school later. If they still want to go to California, tell them to consider applying to a California community college that has a transfer agreement with the target school. You would save a lot of money by getting instate tuition (by the time they complete the associates) and wouldn't have to live in the dorms.

I'd recommend CLEP over Sophia/Study just for general transfer purposes. You could get a general idea of what a school would accept via the clep website: https://clep.collegeboard.org/clep-colle...icy-search. They can also be taken for free via Modern States CLEP Vouchers. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Modern_States
