ACTFL CREDITS to TESU

[Seagull]

Would it be ok to send the credits to TESU in more than one method to ensure they receive them?

[dfrecore]

So Spanish superior level translates in SPA-310 and SPA-311?

AND SPA-335 and SPA-336 for the WPT?

That's my guess.

Note that so far, none of these duplicates the CLEP, Study.com, SL, etc.

I just sent it directly from Acclaim a few weeks ago.  I didn't hear anything back but it showed up on my Academic Evaluation a couple of days ago.  All credits added without having to jump through the hoops from the last time I sent to them.  Last time I had to get a print out notarized and then send it to TESU.

Looks like Acclaim sends them on March 15 and TESU will stop accepting all alt credits on March 1st.

TESU advisors say they never heard of acclaim.

So I am sending them in directly fron LTI paying the $20.
They send it with a certificate. 

As for academic evaluation, they have received some previous courses scores but they are really dragging their feet to make courses appear on evaluation. (Other courses not LTI)

Plus they are very insistent on asking students to drop TECEP for enrollment. They want students to enroll in full courses. Especially if the TECEP doesn't fit anywhere on degree.

TESU is not about to stop accepting alt credits entirely. And the advisors haven't heard of a lot of things and are wrong about many other things. Only contact them when you really must. Otherwise, they're more likely to just confuse you and hinder your progress.

Agree, only that they have to be nudged often otherwise thay sit on those received credits, I see them on the unofficial transcript but nowhere marked completed in the planned course category slot on acad. Eval.

First, I'd almost never ask TESU advisors anything, they're pretty worthless.  They may not understand Acclaim, but they will know ACE - Acclaim is just the transcript provider for ACE courses.  But the advisors don't see them, transcripts go to the registrar.

All TECEP's will work for enrollment, and will fit in Free Electives at the very least, so they'll all "fit" into any degree.  But it's their job to try to get people to take courses there - they have no incentive to try to help you save money.

I would ignore them.  Actually, I wouldn't call.

I know, but nothing happens at all if I do not call at all. 

I have been writing to transcripts and registrar. Because I need those credits.

So far they said as long as the certificates come in, for ACTFL exams and have the date stamped of when I took exams, even if acclaim is received after the deadline, they will honor them. So they say. 

Now it is just a waiting game as LTI just confirmed acclaim credits will be only available March 15.

Again, as stated by someone earlier - you can still bring in ACE/Alternative credit, you just can't go above 90cr after March 1.  Do you have any RA credits?

Yes some, but if I bring other ACE credits in, do they apply or replace what I want? I have more than 120 credits, most already applied to academic eval (except UL ones of course)

Let's say I bring in UL credits, do they bump LL ones which I can then replace later with RA ones?

Yes - if you bring in UL credits after March 1, you can ask TESU to replace the LL with UL.  You can also choose which LL courses you want to replace LL ACE courses.

I would make sure that you have a good copy of your eval on Feb 28th (or earlier) so that you have proof that you have X number of ACE credits on your transcript; they may try to take it down to 90cr when they start replacing things, and they shouldn't.  So just make sure you have proof.
