I've heard that Skidmore is the only college that will take as many credits that you have accumulated. Most take no more than 90 from other schools. And I have more than 90, many are up to 30 years old. Thanks!
Can you tell us where you heard that, Ellen? It would be interesting to know. Not from Bears' Guide, surely, where my daughter and I say (I think we're right) that the only four North American schools that would consider this are Athabasca, Edison, Excelsior, and Charter Oak.

Dear John, If I remember correctly, I have some related information about it. Please let me look for it, and I will send you an electronic mail. Thus, please keep checking your mailbox. Your friend, Karlos Alberto "El Caballero" Lacaye [email protected]
This is from Thorsons guide but a 1996 addition. "Skidmore does not set a limit on credits accepted in transfer". Edison takes up to 90, I have 129. Dating back to 1961.
I have not seen any restrictions on number of credits from Charter Oak State College. You will have to fit them into an area of concentration. Individualized studies concentration to include a minimum of 36 credits, 27 above the basic level, and a minimum of 15 at the upper level, in a LOGICAL distribution. This is described in a 750-1000 word essay. Dan
I'm not sure where you heard this, but it sounds as though you've been misinformed. I'm completing my TESC degrees entirely through transfer credit and 3 CLEP exams. Maybe you're thinking of the 80 credit limitation on transfer credit from two-year colleges?
You shouldn't have a problem transferring them to TESC, provided that they are all from regionally accredited schools. An exception is that they won't apply more than 70 sh of credit in any one subject, but really I think that in order to meet degree requirements you probably couldn't do that anyway. Some programs at TESC limit the number of courses taken more than 5 or 10 years ago (depending on the program), but the BA program doesn't place any limitation on how long ago the courses were taken. Who knows, you may even already meet the requirements for a degree! If this is something that you are interested in then you really should go read through the TESC site. They have most of the relevant information on the web site, and they even have the entire catalog online in PDF format.
