Yup, if it's an UL course and hard to find alternative credit options for that course, then yeah, I would try to appeal...  However, if it's cheaper, easier, faster just to do another ACE/NCCRS course for credit, then I would spend the time getting it completed instead of "waiting" for the appeal.

Many of the courses we are having problems with are upper level environmental/geosci courses. TESU has managed to make almost none of them fit the AOS for environmental studies by assigning ridiculous equivalencies that have very little relation to the original course.
