Rob, Yea... I had been worried about that aspect of it. However, UoP is accredited but just not the right type of accreditation. That was my biggest concern and that's one of the reasons I posted here cause I knew some of you had been through or at least had some knowledge of them. I really want to go to school (never went to college at all, never had the time) so now that I have all this downtime and the online courses are starting to look very nice right now because i stay at home with the kids and it just fits my schedule much nicer.
Cheers guys.... thanks for all the input... it helped out a lot, I should get a call from NSCC really soon..
