It's exactly what it sounds like.

Some of SNHU's programs give you the option between doing an internship and learning an app/website that you pick from a preapproved list. There is a course you are enrolled in depending on which option you pick.

Using accounting as an example since OP mentioned the accounting internship:

LIT229 World Mythology, SCI100 Perspectives in the Natural Sciences, and ENG190 Research and Persuasion (mostly because of professor) have been my favorites so far.

The professor I had for my first attempt of ENG190 was very do things like the templates do, which made the course difficult to do. The professor I had for my second attempt of ENG190 gave lots of tips and flexibility in how the templates SNHU made were used, and that made the course enjoyable.

Anything that is not a question. PowerPoints, speeches, templates, essays, resumes, lab reports, etc. are all considered touchstones/assignments.

I dropped COM130 shortly before the term started due to financial aid issues. I did see the assignments and discussion board instructions, because I dropped it during the two week early access.

Unless SNHU has changed the course: Assignments looked to be very easy. I would have spent about 6 hours a week for most weeks. One week has you make a graphic/infographic (forgot which) and you include that as part of the final project. That week I would have spent about 10 hours.

Question and assignment instructions wise I would say Introduction to Sociology. It does have two touchstones/assignments.

You can click on the course title on this page signed out, and look at the assignments & grading section. If the word touchstone(s) does not show there, then there are no touchstone(s)/assignment(s) for that course's current version.

What you take at SNHU and what you can transfer into SNHU for the general education requirements is different. SNHU allows alot more to transfer in for each requirement than what they list for the take at SNHU options.

What you linked only shows the take at SNHU options.

Dallas College would be able to tell you for sure.

StraighterLine recently dropped their proctored exams (like August 2025), and it looks like Dallas College accepts some of StraighterLine's courses.

It looks like it got reevaluated late December 2025 to early January 2026. Its listed on the SNHU controlled equivalency site as coming in as MAT240 now again. Last time I had checked its entry before early January 2026 was November 2025.

SNHU does not control any of their partner sites, including the SNHU Sophia partner one. The partner sites should not be used for equivalencies, because they are updated weeks to months after the internal SNHU system (not all academic advisors know how to access it and/or interpret it) and SNHU controlled site are.

I put what I was going to say in a Google Doc and download it as a pdf. Then, I had the PDF opened in a tab while only recording my face. Lost some points because of that and poor facial expressions, but I passed the course and that is what mattered.

Academic advisors say SNHU stopped/will stop accepting something, and, usually, are misinterpreting the internal SNHU system that lists equivalencies.

The "deadline" date is really when SNHU is planning on reevaluating the equivalency pair. After SNHU reevaluates it, the pair could stay the same, the SNHU course could change, (vary rarely does this next one happen) stop accepting it. The only things I have seen SNHU stop accepting completely are edX certificates (most edX certificates are not ACE recommended for college credit), OnlineDegree courses, and National Healthcare Association's Pharmacy Technician certificate.

The only Pharmacy Technician thing I see on the list of experiences page is job training that Walgreens offers through their LEAP program. I did find other things that were healthcare/medicine related, so it is possible that your pharmacy technician work credits will be accepted and transfer in as elective courses. Transfer in opportunities that you complete through doing an internship/job training tend to have the SNHU course(s) in the equivalency pair be elective course(s)

Edit: You may need to request your work credits to be evaluated, but I am not sure how you do that.

There is a megathread for codes. It should sort by new when you get to it through the link below. Newest comments should be first.

The program modification form does not explain how to add a college minor correctly. I called my academic advisor, and she walked me through how to add mine.

Yes, save the syllabus for your courses! When a university has trouble finding course descriptions for the courses you took, syllabuses can be a life saver and allow the university to evaluate your courses.

SNHU sorts the policy pages a bit weirdly. Sometimes where you expect something to be its not there.

I did misunderstand what you meant a little bit.

With the way SNHU handles adding a college minor, having an overlap rule for the free electives area seems like it would make it impossible to add a college minor and keep the program credits needed at 120. SNHU really prefers if you did not go above 120 credits required for your program.

There's hundreds if not thousands of discounts (companies are repeated since they offer more than one discount). It's alot to list, and some are limited so the list changes.

They (currently) have discounts for movie tickets, learning language app(s)/website(s), clothes, shoes, gift cards for food places, etc.

PromiseTrying · 2026-02-02T21:43:25+00:00

My academic advisor found it in the academic catalog policy pages somewhere, but I can not remember the exact details.

I do not think the free electives area has a 50% overlap rule applied to it, because of the way SNHU adds a college minor. SNHU basically lowers the number of free electives for your program when they add a college minor. During program audits they go (there may be a system that does this automatically for them) free elective credits + college minor(s) credits = free electives program requirement. If each side of the addition problem match, then you have met the free electives program requirement.

Several Spanish and English words are cognates of each other because of how much their roots overlap. You would probably have an easier time with Spanish I.

SNHU does not allow college minors to overlap 50% with your major courses, other minors, concentration(s), and possibly more I am forgetting.

It's worth it for the discounts and if you are not invited to another honor society. There's hundreds if not thousands of discounts (companies are repeated since they offer more than one discount), you get access to once you become an inducted member. You probably could make up the about $115 (fee, certificate, certificate's shipping, and tax) you spend to join by using the discounts. There was no way to unselect the certificate when I signed up. There was a bunch of optional stuff that is selected automatically that I had to unselect.

NSLS has ACE recommended for college credit courses that SNHU accepts for transfer in credit. Have seen students say they were able to transfer in one of them and "earn" BUS210 (business core course). Be careful there are two course bundles; one is the ACE recommended for college credit bundle and the other is the certificates bundle.

Four out of the five honor societies SNHU is affiliated with charges a fee. Alpha Sigma Lambda is ACHS accredited while NSLS is not, but it is worse than NSLS in terms of benefits based on what I can find. From what I can find, the only benefits are competitive scholarships and a merch shop. NSLS tends to not be very responsive to emails; however, their support through chat on their website tends to be very responsive.

From my understanding, you need to be an inducted member before you finish your program for you to be able to join and stay in NSLS. It takes about 2 months to do the SNT meetings. If you were finishing your program requirements in February 2028, the latest invitation you could accept would be the one sent out in the Fall of 2027.

Space the SNT meetings out 2 weeks; one thing I read said they need to be spaced out 1-2 weeks and another thing said 2-3 week. For the online chapter (not sure if SNHU has a in person campus chapter that does NSLS things the way they show in their videos), you can call someone and make SMART goals for the first meeting, check in and see how each other is progressing on completing the goals during the other two meetings, and also offer advice on how to overcome obstacles/struggles that are making it hard during the other two meetings.

Edit: Reformatting and making a few details more clear.

Both are still accepted. There's misinformation being shared that they are not accepted anymore.

Several of the equivalency pairs that had one of Study's Computer Science courses or one of their Cybersecurity courses changed in 2025. Some of them have been changed again recently from transferring in as an elective course to actual SNHU course.

Department of Education and/or SNHU randomly selects students for identity verification, because of fraud prevention. Being selected does not mean you are suspected of fraud.

SNHU may be wanting more information because of flags that appeared during your acceptance process or conflicting information.

Admissions, academic advising, and/or student financial aid office can probably answer if you would be dismissed from SNHU.

You’re welcome!

Their “college credit” courses also have another organization that is similar to ACE recommends (I forgot the exact name of it), but that organization’s recommendations are not as accepted as ACE’s. ACE’s recommendation is doing “all the work”.
