Thanks for the advice, but besides the nursing courses found here Free Online Courses - DegreeInfo Distance Learning - online degree forum, and the aimes, and fema, and the csi casio, does anyone know of any more courses free or even not free that are self administered, that offer college credit?
I know this probably sounds crazy, but I want to earn a degree soley (or as close as possible) on courses that are self administered.
I'm also unsure of any colleges that would let me do this.
Other then the hopes of TESC, Excelsior, Charter Oak.
Also wasn't there another college or universities on here once that was going to be considered in changing the big three to the big four? Another institution with distance learning that you can earn a degree from testing out and stuff?
And if one of the big three (or four) don't accept credit from all the courses in the world that offer college credit, then I assume I could just trasfer credit from these sort of courses to another college and then transfer it to one of the big three (or four, who ever that institution was)? Can someone therefore tell me which one of the big three is best for this?
I was thinking TESC since they seem to just be great in general regarding credits (other then their reputation for horrible customer service that is).
A few courses I already know about that offer college credit besides the ones I mentioned above are also

Free Online College Courses
(they offer free courses online and even admit on the site that you can write down the courses you take online for free into a portfolio and submit it as pla or life experience,)(it seems that even the PLA assessment option through them is free for non students) I will try this and let everyone know what happens. Perhaps I can earn credits through this life experience and transfer them to a RA college.
Free Online Psychical Courses
(I still donât know if I can get any actual credits to transfer from this college to another, although it does say on the site âCourses vary in credit hoursâ.) Am I to assume that there are credits that can be transferred here and there to whoever will take them?
Universities with the Best Free Online Courses
This is a list of free courses online, however I have no idea if there is any college credit for these? Or if there is anyway to get a transcript to apply for credits if I were to show a college my completed courses. However until I know, I will go through the courses, and mention them for any PLA portfolios.
University of Washington CME: Online Courses
They currently at this time only offer 1 free accredited course for 3 credits in medical. Ofcourse you have to pay for the credits, but they are cheap, and if itâs a selfgraded course, you really canât fail.
Also if take a course at TESC then whatever that grade is, is your GPA when combined with credits.
So lets say you transferred over 117 credits from another source like fema and other courses somehow and then you applied those credits to the hardest courses you could, and took the easiest course you could, and you got an A, then you graduate with a 4.0.
Can someone please share some wealth of information on everything I've said. Thank you.
