COSC and FEMA

[alissaroot]

You are correct about it being $60/credit through FCC, and $30 through CCC. I do think that the speed that fema courses can be completed is what holds their appeal. TESC students do get to use around 27 fema credits for free, without having them transcribed through another school. The maximum that I have read in other threads is of Excelsior accepting fifteen.

I looked into using an ACE transcript six months ago, but when I tried to apply for the credits, it seemed to me that the version of these courses that is taught in person at EMI or an extension thereof is what is ACE approved, not the Independent Study versions that we are using. If I missed something, then please let me know, I would love to be able to use the fifteen courses I completed, but I won't pay $60 per credit, and I am not sure I care to negotiate the bureaucratic red tape through CCC, when taking a few CLEPs would be faster, cheaper, or more convenient.

I read in another thread that not all ACE approved courses are right there in the database I was looking in, so it is possible that the Independent Study versions are approved and that I missed them. If you or anyone else knows that they are, I am sure that a post detailing the process to get them transcribed on an ACE transcript will be very welcome and informative. Thanks.
