Does TESU typically take 25 days to review transcripts?

[collegechick]

I'm getting impatient waiting for TESU to review my transcripts. They've received all of them since last Friday (11/11/16). Their auto response says this can take up to 25 days?! That's pretty ridiculous. Have you all had to wait this long?

25 business days. Mark your calendar, and try to put it out of your head, because it will be a long wait.

Ugh! Thanks for your response

If there's anything you haven't sent, or if you get anything else done soon, get them sent in. When they finally do sit down to do it, they will generally evaluate everything they have in their possession, even if it came in more recently.

To give you a bit of hope they received my transcript on the 11/7/2016 and my evaluation is now complete on 11/14/2016. In addition check your academic evaluation on my Edison it may be half done.

Thanks for the tip. I wish I knew exactly what other classes I need, because I'm ready to hop onto Saylor.org and other platforms to knock off more credits! I wish I could be working on a class right now in the meantime.

That's hopeful. I just logged in again and they haven't begun my evaluation.

They normally take the full 25 business days from the day you apply to complete the eval. So, if you applied on 11/1, then even if they received your transcripts by 11/10, they still wouldn't have your eval completed until 12/6.

Keep in mind, they change the "25 business days" thing occasionally, so that could change. Did they give you a time frame?

Also, you probably won't see if they "begin" your eval, you will just see a completed eval when it's done.

Also, you could definitely start on classes that you 100% for certain need:
1) Something for the Info Lit requirement, like World Religions (DSST, SL, Study.com), A&I Lit (CLEP) or Tech Writing (DSST, TECEP, Study.com)
2) An Ethics course, the free one is good: Insurance Ethics
3) something for the Civic Engagement requirement, like American Government (CLEP, SL, Study.com) or Comparative Politics (Saylor, TECEP)
4) some UL courses you need (unless you think any of your courses will come in as UL - you had to have taken them at a 4-yr college, and they have to be considered UL at that college): Managerial/Corporate Comm (TECEP/Saylor), Business Comm (SL), Marketing Comm (TECEP), Org Behavior (DSST, SL, Study.com), Substance Abuse (DSST), Vietnam War (DSST, Study.com), Soviet Union (DSST), MIS (DSST), Abnormal Psych (TECEP, Study.com), Pathophysiology (Study.com), Microbiology (Study.com, SL), Research Methods in Psych (Study.com), Social Psychology (Study.com) - I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones off the top of my head for a BALS.

I just went through this.

Not only does it take weeks, but that's not the end. Then you need to schedule appointments with a counselor to see what they say you need to do, my first one took a week to book. I am still ironing out details. hrugs:

you don't *need* to have a meeting with a counselor, it's just a good idea to. If you already have everything mapped out through the forums, no need to talk to them about your plan. I never did.
