Fema Credits & Tesc

[mlwilliamsiv]

Does anyone know what the maximum number of FEMA Credits is that TESC will accept for the Business Administration Degree? I've been researching other posts on here and someone else stated that the maximum number was 15 credits for a Bachelors in Business degree, but that was for Excelsior College only. I still am not sure about TESC's policy on the issue. I just would like to know because I don't want to take ALL the Fema courses, just to find out that I will only get credit for say 15 or so. If that's the case then I will only do the minimum number of FEMA courses to reach the maximum number that TESC will give me credit for. If anyone can help me on this matter it will be greatly appreciated.

P.S: I am not enrolled at TESC that's why I can't call them or email them about this issue. THANKS

From a Loyal Degree Seeker,

This is the closest answer I could find.

I don't think you need to be enrolled to find out this information, just to have applied.

Credit Banking

I received my credit bank transcript today from TESC. I would like to share one section of my transcript relating to FEMA Independent Study Courses with the forum.

I had FEMA send a copy of my Independent Study Course transcript direct to TESC. I sent no copies of my certificates, not even notarized copies. My FEMA transcript had 46 courses listed and I received credit for 37 courses. All courses were worth one credit, except for IS-009, which was worth 2 two credit hours.

My credit bank fee at the military rate was $250, giving me the credits at $6.58 per credit hour. It would be lower if I figured in the fact that I had other courses that were not FEMA related on the transcript.

Credit (37)
001, 002, 003, 005, 007, 008, 009, 010, 011, 015, 111, 120, 139, 195, 208, 230, 235, 240, 241, 242, 244, 271, 275, 279, 288, 292, 301, 324, 346, 386, 393, 394, 513, 600, 630, 631, 632.

022, 055, 100, 200, 317, 340, 362, 650, 700.

Have Not Taken (yet)
253, 330, 331, 336, 800.


Credit Level of the 37 Courses

200 level - 16
300 level - 2
400 level - 0


*** The figures above do not count the two US Fire Administration (FEMA) self-study courses, Q118 & Q318, for which I got one credit each. One was a 300 level course and the other a 400 level course. The two US Fire Administration courses were ACE evaluated for college credit, while the FEMA Independent Study courses were not ACE evaluated.
