Degree Completion Advice Pierpont/TESU

[cookderosa]

So tired of my posts not going through!

What I said (and did not just repost everyone's stuff) was that TESU used to say that you had to take Physics I & II w/Labs.  Then, at some point, someone tried to bring in Chem I & II w/Labs, and they were accepted.  TESU changed the website to say Chem or Physics I w/Lab and Chem or Physics II w/Lab, which is ridiculously unclear.  They need to say Physics I & II w/Labs OR Chem I & II w/Labs.

Agreed. There is an implied assumption that someone couldn't TAKE the II course without having taken the I course, but that's not really clear enough.

I don't have time to look this morning, however, TESU used to automatically award I credit if you had II credit- that's not been widely practiced here in this forum, but it was in their catalog for as long as I remember. It's worth looking to see if it still is.

EDIT: I found it, and either I misunderstood or it has changed. Simply, you don't need to TAKE part I to have credit awarded in part II not that they'll award credit for part I.

SEQUENTIAL COURSE WORK
With the exception of English Composition I and II, if a student
has successfully completed a second course of sequential
courses, he/she does not have to complete the first course.
Please note that the reference to “sequential courses” means
that knowledge of the second course is reliant on knowledge
of the first course such as Calculus I and II. Students do,
however, have to complete the minimum number of credits in
each area to fulfill graduation requirements.
