The Challenge? Jerry E. had two obstacles that he came to us to help him overcome. First, he had received professional training which he hoped could be applied as college credits and second, he was having a hard time finding local institution which would accept his previously earned Associate Degree.

How We Helped?Professional Training – College Credits. With our assistance Jerry received 16 semester hours of college credit for the professional training he had completed on the job.

Transfer Credits. Jerry had previously earned an Associate’s Degree in a technical field of study from a nationally accredited college, but found that the local colleges in Colorado where he lives now would not accept the credits he earned.

FYI: It is a common practice for most regionally accredited colleges and universities to not accept transfer credits from nationally accredited colleges.

With our patented process and technology platform, we were able to minimize loss of credit in transfer as our system is designed to find which regionally accredited colleges and universities match your goals and who is willing to accept your national accreditation credits in transfer. We also gave Jerry numerous degree plan options along with a detailed breakdown of costs for each program.

Jerry was able to apply 84 semester hours of credit toward his baccalaureate degree, which saved him more than $36,400 in tuition.
