Some background before I start. I am in in Air Guard, but deployed to Afghan right now as a DoD civilian. Since the Air Guard will pay for CLEP/DSST exams I figured I was going to take a bunch while out here and knock out my CCAF and start making progress on a Bachelor's degree. Turns out there is no proctor here for CLEP/DSST anymore. They pulled the UMUC proctor out in 2016 and are looking to bring another out in the future, but not this year. I only need Speech and one Humanities class to complete my CCAF. This leaves me with my current dilemma...
I have seen in the past that people have used non-CLEP/DSST courses that were ACE-approved to transfer them to TESU or the like, and CCAF accepted them. I know that CCAF will not accept the SL or study.com(or similar) credit directly, but will they accept any of the forms of alternate credit if they are on TESU's official transcripts?
Now, I called CCAF the other day and asked if there is any possibility that they'd accept TESU's TECEP exams as transferable credit, and the lady gave me an answer that just confused the crap out of me. Basically it was a maybe, but I wouldn't know until I tried. I don't want to waste my time or money though. If anyone has had luck with CCAF and TECEPs that would be great news. I can do English Comp II instead of Speech, and one of the Humanities TECEPs and be done with it IF they accepted the TECEPs.
If I absolutely can't use an alternative to taking a regular class, then I can have my organization pay tuition for classes, but there are timelines and restrictions(least preferred method). I can likely get the speech one paid for, but it's the humanities class I don't think I'll be able to swing a justification for. Maybe a Philosophy class could be justified, but I'm not sure.
So, has anyone recently had luck with finding ways to get alternative credits to apply to their CCAF gen ed requirements? Thanks in advance!
