This makes about as much sense as anything else they do at NCU, i.e., none. Can't imagine NCU would be doing this unless someone told them to.
I'm thinking it's the NCACS's way of saying "you gotta quit taking all those lame SCUPS credits towards an RA doctorate" without actually saying it.
Since SCUPS (Cal Southern) is applying for DETC they can't tell NCU not to take only unaccredited credits in case SCUPS actually lucks out and gets DETC accreditation. So they just said screw it, no DETC from anybody either, no nothing but RA.
Plus who knows what all else NCU has been taking in transfer. They had all kinds of connections with diploma mills overseas (besides SCUPS) and might have been taking that stuff as well.
This makes those charges of "administrative chaos" at NCU continue to ring true. Just one more reason to steer clear of the place. There are plenty of other schools that welcome DETC credits, so why think twice about a place that probably won't even be awarding doctorates by the time you graduate.
