TESU - UL psychology is no more! I am PISSED!!

[bjcheung77]

Any update on this? I know several people must be anxious about how this will shake out.
Thanks!

So whats the final word on this? Are study.com courses not going to be considered UL anymore?

There's no update yet, but from the looks of things, it may be downgraded for good...
On Study.com's site, it has a note as a hyperlink, when you click it, it says... Subject to change.
Strange enough, some business courses still has their course continue to transfer as UL.
Most likely because other courses from different providers already come in as UL as well.

The fact that as of today its still being listed as transferring in as UL on the TESU website should count for something in the appeal process if in fact they have changed it to LL (see link below)

wow, i thought Study.com was being irresponsible by leaving up the bad info for so long... but even TESU can't be bothered to update their own site. This whole situation is such a joke.

I was told Fri I would have a final answer this Mon (tmrw). I will refrain from saying anything else at this point until I see what actually happens tmrw. I will let y'all know tmrw by 5 pm my time what they say.
If they postpone again, after 5 weeks now...

So whats the final word on this? Are study.com courses not going to be considered UL anymore? And if thats the case, whats a Psych major to do?

There are other places to go to take the courses as UL - UExcel, TECEP, Ed4Credit, Coopersmith - all have UL Psych courses.

Another question because of this crappy situation, in case they don't honor the courses that WERE UL when I took them, passed them, and sent them in...

I agree, so unprofessional. I have no problem with them downgrading courses, but to do it in this manner is very disrespectful. Students are making decisions, and spending time and money, based on published guidelines, and there shouldn't be unannounced changes like this. Plan the change, announce it, modify the published guidelines, then implement the change. That should be the order. Otherwise it is disrespectful and unprofessional.

I'm sorry if I missed it... but has the issue been resolved?

The original evaluations will remain valid until the end of the year. What made me even more upset was how TESU changed its residency policy no longer allowing TECEPs and portfolio assignments to count toward the residency requirement. They only gave people a couple of months to take the exams they needed. It was unprofessional and unethical. A lot of their students are on tight budgets.

sanantone: "The original evaluations will remain valid until the end of the year."

Forgive me for being dense... but what does that mean? The reason I ask is that I was considering taking those courses if I could get them on my transcript as UL.

Yes, I remember this one too. I can't believe the accredeting bodies let them get away with the way they manage these policy changes. Maybe that's just not something they look into, I guess.

Study got TESU to agree to accept the courses as UL so long as they are completed by the end of the year. That should be enough time for anyone planning to use them to get them done. It sounded like Study might continue to modify their courses to keep them evaluating as UL next year, but no promises.

In the ongoing saga of UL courses at Study.com being downgraded, I received this directly from the University Registrar and Associate Vice President:
Study.com Title/TESU Equivalency   (until Dec 31, 2017)
Biology 103: Microbiology
   BIO-351 Microbiology
Psychology 104: Social Psychology
   PSY-370 Social Psychology
Psychology 106: Abnormal Psychology
   PSY-350 Abnormal Psychology
Biology 106: Pathophysiology
   BIO-316 Pathophysiology
History 108: History of the Vietnam War
   HIS-351 A History of Vietnam War
Psychology 105: Research Methods in Psychology
   PSY-322 Research in Experimental Psychology
History 308: Causes and Effects of the Vietnam War
   HIS-351 A History of Vietnam War
Education 103: Classroom Management
   EDU-319 Classroom Management Techniques
According to this the Vietnam 108 will count as UL through the end of the year.  I thought those who have taken it but were told by TESU that it was LL, as well as those who have yet to take the course, might like to know.  
I have been putting off enrolling with Study.com until I saw how all of this was going to shake out, since what I needed from them was almost all UL credits.  I applied for the Guardian Scholarship after Study.com posted here about courses being accepted as UL until the end of the year, then I received the above email, and then I was approved for the Guardian Scholarship, so everything has come together at just the right time for me. 
I am guarding these emails from Ms. Punchello with my life.
