    Wait don't answer that!

    I called Andrew Jackson today. I needed to pick up a few more credits so I can get them over to Clovis. If I take 9 credits in the fall I will have met all the in house requirements with Clovis. Then I only need 15 credits of anything to get done. Any who, I was talking to the lady at AJ and she told me to send my transcripts over (by email) and she would look at them. Here is what she said AJ would give me for what I have:

    20 credits PF
    12 credits AIU
    6 credits Clovis (when I get done this month)
    30 credits for my Peace officer license
    6 credits for my A&I Lit clep

    That’s 74 credits I would be walking in the door with. And 12 credits will only cost me $620. I would end up spending over $2,400 plus a few more cleps. The cool thing is the semesters are only 3 months long.

    They will transcribe my peace officer license into classes on my transcripts.
    They also will take FEMA!

    I won’t be able to use any FEMA because of my 30 credits for my Peace officer license but if EC takes DETC and AJ will put them on a transcript (which I'm not sure about) as classes taken then that might be a cheap way of doing it.

    I asked the question above because I can't seem to stay with one school. I even just paid $75 to EC to do an eval for me. I always finish the classes I enroll in. I just can't seem to stay at one school; my wife thinks I'm crazy.

    For 86 units (74 + 12) do you earn an AA?

    My recommendation is to stick with Clovis and earn an RA degree.

    Bear in mind that your non-RA units may not transfer to a RA BS program

    I plan on going on to EC for my BS. My issue is cost. For six credits at Clovis its only $232 but if you are in fall or spring and want to take more than 6 it crazy expensive. I registered for 9 credits for fall and it was $850! I was thinking about taking classes with AJ, building up some more credits, picking up an AS in CJ along and then wrapping up with Clovis in the summer. In the summer at Clovis it would only cost me $650 for 18 credit hours with fees.

    I know the value of an RA degree. I know the value of a NA degree. I choose RA over NA. But it makes sense in my head to wait till summer and just knock it all out in one semester. I don’t know.

    Are you getting close to the maximum number of lower level or community college credits allowed by EC?

    You should also be trying out to see if your BRS from NationsU can be transferred?

    Interesting that you choose a thread title which is a question you don't want answered.

    I don't know if $94/credit hour is crazy expensive. Clovis' out of state tuition is less expensive than in state tuition for me:

    Tuition and Fees - Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College

    I'd bang it out at Clovis.

    I feel your pain. I told my wife I'm done telling her my plans since I change my mind so much.

    Until I’m 100% on which school I will finish at, I’ve decided to stay put at FHSU.

    I've looked at Clovis' tuition chart and honestly, I can't make any sense out of it. Just to confirm what I've read in this thread, a person can take up to six credit hours at $39 per credit hour but if you take more than six at a time, it jumps to $95? I'm rounding up to the nearest dollar on these figures.

    If you have any questions I can help you. I just wanted to add in the summer you can take up 18 at the instate rate. I'm going to take four classes at AJU and 2 at Clovis. All I need is one more to get my AGS. You only need to take 15 hours to get a degree at Clovis so if you have taken 45 elsewhere then you can wait till the summer and take your 15 on the cheap. Once someone gets done with this one General Studies degree you only have to take 15 more credit hour in the subject you want your second degree in. So you can knock out your AGS and then take 5 business classes and get AS in Business. I hope this sheds some light on them for you, I know you did not ask all that ;)

    I just looked at your profile, with all those degrees why are you looking at Clovis?

    I'm not seeking a degree at the moment. I'm just doing a little research. ;-)

    My understanding is that Frederick Community College will transcript FEMA courses.

    Wow it seems like this school is not in compliance with its accreditation regulations, the reg says no more than one-fourth of the program for experiential or equivalent learning (including challenge/test out credits) , are you in a BS which is 120 credits? One fourth would be 30 credits, but they seem to have given you much more:

    DETC C.9 Page 14

    Undergraduate Degrees: A maximum of three-fourths of the credits required may be awarded for transfer credit or a combination of transfer credit and experiential or equivalent credit (including challenge/test-out credits). For no student, however, may the credit given for experiential or equivalent learning (including challenge/test out credits) exceed one-fourth of the credits required for a degree.
