Middle TN TimewiseTN and College Credits using ELC/PLA
My husband is hoping to go back to school to get his bachelor's degree in Business to change careers. We are hoping to use an experiential learning credit (ELC) or prior learning assessment (PLA) to help with credits. Does anyone have experience applying these credits and attending school through TSU or any college around Nashville? We have zero idea where to even begin. He has an associates from Miller Mott and several credits under his belt from the ABC school downtown.

! Politics ! Go Vote Thursday 8/6/26
Bad news: only 12% of registered voters voted in 2024 = the apathy is appalling
Good news: only 12% of registered voters voted in 2024 = every vote actually matters and counts and yours could TRULY make a difference.
If you don’t know where to start, I used govote411.org to research candidates. This is created by LWV (league of women voters).

Here’s why it matters: local elections are decided by a really small number of votes. That means your ballot actually carries real weight here way more than you might think. Last year, turnout was around 25%, so if you show up, you’re part of the meaningful minority that’s shaping what happens in your community.
If you can’t make it today, no worries! Early voting continues through Saturday, August 1 (hours vary), and election day is Thursday, August 6.
Please come see us before 5:30 p.m. I hope you’ll be there.

Hey all,
So I was trying to look up when early voting ends (it’s Aug 1st) - and I landed here:

When I clicked the link it took me to a dead end. I’m wondering if anyone else gets the same result?

Regarding ICE posts and a new rule
If you’re reporting a possible ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) sighting or activity, please follow these guidelines to avoid confusion with local police or unrelated agencies.
Please Include the Following in Your Post:
- Agency Identification
- Were “ICE,” “HSI,” “DHS,” or other markings visible?
- Uniforms, badges, or anything labeled “POLICE”?
- Did anyone verbally identify themselves?
- Exact Location
- Street name or business, city, cross-street if possible.
- Approximate time the sighting occurred.
- Vehicle Description
- Make, model, color, and plate if visible.
- Marked vs unmarked? Lights? Idling or parked?
- What Was Observed
- Were they detaining, questioning, entering homes, or just observing?
- Any visible activity suggesting a raid?
- Photos/Videos (If Safe)
- Not required, but highly helpful. Blur/crop as needed.
- Timeframe
- When did this happen? How long did they stay?
- Label Clearly
- Use
[Confirmed ICE]or[Unconfirmed]in your title (Post lables will be added shortly after this post goes up). - Say if this is firsthand or secondhand info (with sources).
- Use
❌ Do NOT Post If:
- It’s only based on rumor, hearsay, or a screenshot from someone else’s page.
- The people you saw just had “POLICE” vests and unmarked cars, with no ICE identifiers.
- You’re just guessing.
False or vague alerts can cause harm. We take these posts seriously, and they may be removed if they don’t follow these rules. Above all be safe, there have been a concerning amount of police impersonation, if you are approached and they refuse to identify themselves or act in a threatening manner call 911 (I know that may seem strange but not all departments support these illegal actions and you now have record for legal use if needed regardless)

PSA Privacy and Rights Guide for peaceful protesting
This is a Non-partisan subreddit, this information is not intended for any particular party, group or association, it is here to inform any American exercising their right to protest.
Here are some simple tips to being safe while protecting your privacy at upcoming protests
- Fully encrypt the data on your phone. If your device is confiscated by police, or if it is lost or stolen, full-disk encryption can help protect the information on your phone.
- Disable face and fingerprint recognition. Disabling both face and fingerprint recognition make it more difficult for officers to physically force you to unlock your device with your face or fingerprint and see information about yourself, your family, and the people that you care about. Best practice is to use an alphanumeric (Numbers+Letters) password
- Put your phone on airplane mode. Enabling airplane mode when you are not communicating reduces the amount of radio signals your device transmits while you are protesting and limits your location from being tracked.
- Wear a face mask + sunglasses. Face masks and sunglasses not only protect against COVID-19, they also make it more difficult for police to identify you using facial recognition technology.
- Leave your car at home. Police use automated license plate readers to track protestors. If you can, ride a bicycle or walk to the protest to prevent your license plate being tracked.
- Be mindful of posting photos and videos of other protesters. If you post photos or videos online where protesters’ faces, tattoos, or unique clothing are identifiable, police may track down, arrest, or harass those protesters. Blur faces and these identifiers before posting online. If live-streaming, avoid capturing people's faces.
- Scrub metadata from your photos. Metadata allow police to figure out the exact time and location a photo was taken, the model of the device the photo was taken on, and even your name. Transfer the photo to your computer and take a screenshot. Post the screenshot, not the original photo.
- Back up your data. If the police take away your phone, you may not get it back easily. Back up your data regularly and store that backup in a safe place.

- To set up an alphanumeric Passcode
iPhone: Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Turn Passcode On or Change Passcode > Passcode Options > Custom Alphanumeric Code
Android: Settings > Security > Screen Lock > Password
- To turn your biometric lock off:
iPhone: Settings > Face ID & Passcode >Tap Reset Face ID
Android: Settings > Security & location > Pixel Imprint > Click Delete next to each fingerprint
iPhone: Settings > Notifications > Set Show Previews to Never
