[QUOTE=mkraus1224]JackZack you are a bit mis-guided. Most courses at UoP are 5 weeks in length not 6. You also leave out some crtical information, did your friend take any breaks between courses?
I know they are 5 weeks - that was a mistype. My apologies. My Friend did not take any breaks, except for the few weeks when UoP was processing him as a new student.
You also mention that you took CLEP and DSST testing and that your friend did not. CLEP and DSST testing is an advantage over no testing as you can easily study for two weeks and take a test to get you out of a course.
Yes...that's exactly true. I hope it was clear that I took CLEPS and that they are a time-saver. My time spent at my college was greatly reduced by that. I make the point that TESC was very flexible in receiving CLEP/DSST, and from my understanding UoP will not accept the quantity that TESC will. Hence, saving me time.
Lastly, you state you can not take more than one class at UoP at a time. This is also not correct. You can take as many classes at a time as you want, that is if you can afford to pay for the additional classes out of pocket as it is the lender that will not allow you to take more than one class at a time.
I am very surpised to hear this and thank you for making it clear. I was told that you could only take one class per 5-week semester, without any exceptions. This certainly is a difference. I would find it hard to take two or three classes in a five-week span, but that's besides the point. Thanks for the input
