New Study.com courses (9/19/19)

[Zachcleigh]

All of the classes that were upgraded were scheduled to expire on 11/30/2019.  Based on that fact, I bet we see History 308 get upgraded soon as it is also scheduled to expire at the end of November.  All of the remaining courses that are expiring at that time are appropriately classified as either lower or upper based on their course numbers.

HIST 308 is already considered UL through NCCRS, so you can get it that way instead of ACE.

True, but I tend to not pay attention to NCCRS only because they don't offer the transcript service like ACE does.  I know it's silly of me, but that transcript service is kind of like insurance if a provider happens to close up shop.  I don't see that happening with Study.com, but others on this board mentioned some provider that offered classes in Java that were accredited by NCCRS but not ACE.  That company went out of business, and the people that took their courses no longer have a way to prove credit for it.  When you consider I have sources of credit on my ACE transcript that are around 20 years old, it seems to have more longevity.

So if you're going to TESU, you HAVE to use Study.com's transcript service anyway, so putting it on ACE doesn't matter.

If you're going through another school, and the difference is UL (NCCRS) vs. LL (ACE), you're way better off going through NCCRS for the UL credit, and then maybe putting it on your ACE transcript later.

There's nothing that says you can't put it on your ACE transcripts AND use NCCRS, or putting it on ACE even though your school might require a direct transfer of credits like TESU does with Study.com.  You can do both.

I know, my preference isn't logical so much as paranoid about future possibilities.  Here's a question though: if I finish a course at Study.com and it's listed as LL credit but then later it changes to UL credit, would my credit get upgraded or would I have to retake the final exam to trigger a new finish date?

In terms of ace courses you would have to retake the course to trigger a new completion date.  However, study.com and TESU are partnered, so they do not necessarily follow these guidelines.
