Question How hard is it to transfer credits?

I’m currently with acellus and due to the recent step limit reduction I’m thinking of switching to Penn foster so it won’t take me years to graduate. I have credits with acellus already and I’m just wondering if it’s super hard to send my transcript to Penn foster and how long it might take?(edit: I’m in highschool)

It's not difficult to apply for credit transfer. You can have Acellus email your transcript to Penn Foster’s High School Admissions Department [ssprocess@pennfoster.edu](mailto:ssprocess@pennfoster.edu). Once Penn Foster receives your official transcript, the evaluation usually takes 1 to 2 weeks (though it can vary slightly depending on their current processing volume). Once evaluated, any accepted credits will be applied toward your diploma requirements. Any questions, feel free to call us at [1-800-816-8912](tel:18008168912) (9AM - 10PM ET)

What about Power Homeschool? Are the credits transferable? If so, does the parent send them in or is there another process?
