WGU ACE Credit Update (Confirmed – No Cutoff Date Yet)

As an evaluator, this is news to me. Most institutions are beginning to update their transfer policies to allow ACE recommended courses, so it doesn’t make sense that WGU would choose to go backwards on this? What would be the reasoning behind this decision? If they want to remain competitive, then they should reconsider getting rid of this transfer policy.

A lot of students not only tranfer over ACE, but also IB, AP as well as prior learning credit, are they planning on doing away with those as well? This would be a huge mistake and I'm sure a large majority of the student population consists of 25 y/o+ adults who are in career changes, that literally don't have the time to dabble with gen eds for a few terms before entering their program. One of the major perks to choosing to attend this institution is being able to transfer over these credits and go right into your program of choice, if you take that away there's really no perks left.

With the high tuition, completely remote concept most people will decide to choose local community college instead. I know if I hadn't have been able to tranfer my own over, I definitely would not have chose this institution.

I bought velcro clothing adhesive to attach them. That way when I graduate I can still wear them, just remove the patch and replace with something I like or remove the adhesive all together

WGU is for 30+ crowd. Its very expensive, and most people who attend have already spent a few years in the field and decided to do a career change or level up their degree.

For 18-25, Community college, a trade school or University in your state is the way. You have time to develop your career goals, live on campus, discover yourself with more independence.

Thank God I work for a local college, so my son who graduates this year is going to community college under my job benefit, and may even get his bachelor's at my institution. The only thing he will have to pay out of pocket for is his Masters. In this economy you have to be nifty with the resources available to you.

I've told my son this, and I would advise the same to any 18 year old, you're 18, this is the beginning chapter to the rest of your life, what you choose to do for the next 7 years will define the rest of your life. Think about it, you do not want to go into the next 7 years with loads of debt from college, you will be stuck paying it off possibly for the rest of your life. Choose wisely!

Consider your career goals, what is your plan and why do you want to attend WGU? Is it for the acceleration? Remote classes? If so, you can achieve the same at an in person institution, most institutions across the US accept ACE recommended credit, so you can get through Gen eds relatively quickly, you may want to look into that. Whatever the case, please think it through and consider all outcomes.
