HEADS UP! Transfer Credit Policy Change

[rckola911]

Yep with only 90 credits you will need to cough up and take 10 classes with them, boom your at 10k already +
The day of reckoning has begun

You do NOT need to take 10 classes at TESU to have enough RA credit. There are also cheaper options out there such as WGU and UMPI.

Ah thankyou, i have misunderstood! thankyou thankyou!

Question: How would this affect a Data Science Degree from TESU?
I will have 90 credit hours of my General Education completed and submitted by March but the remainder of my degree is from Statistics.com which I believe is through ACE!!!!

If TESU doesn't work for you anymore, maybe look at WGU or Purdue Global? They both have an analytics program. Purdue Global takes a LOT of transfer credit. You do need to complete 25% of the degree at Purdue Global, but if you can get that done quickly, it's not bad. They have an analytics degree in the Excel Track which is a competency based program. My husband is in this degree and he's cruising through it.

I would expect TESU to raise fees in July, so I would look into those other options if it were me. Unless you'll be close to finishing at TESU in June.

This is horrible news for me. I was going to take it easy for the rest of my degree journey. Looks like I might just take the easiest route.

My plan was BSBA CIS and ASNSM CS.

Now it's looking like I might just have to go with BALS and ASNSM CS to get everything submitted before March. With the BALS I'd immediately have enough credits for the capstone also but I wouldn't take that until I got all of the ACE stuff out of the way.

No, you do NOT need to take 10 classes with them. You only need to take 2 classes + 8 classes from somewhere like TEL Learning. 8 classes from TEL Learning is $1600. You can still get a degree for less than $10k all-in.

forgive me for sucking at search, but does TEL Learning come across with a GPA?

Yes. TEL Learning courses are transcripted as coming directly from one of their partner universities. If you check the "how it works" page on the TEL Learning site, it says that you get a letter grade for the courses you complete.

You have an uncommon situation; I would reach out to TESU and see what impact this change will have on you. There is a partnership in place with statistics.com (I assume this is the degree path you're on with TESU) - https://www.statistics.com/degree-progra...gree-tesu/

that's also my plan, BALS and ASNSM CS

TEL comes through on an RA transcript (the schools actually use TEL courses at the schools as their courses they offer which is why TEL can also offer them without it being "credit laundering.")  Anyway, when you register, you have to choose the school you're going to transcript the courses through right from the beginning. The transcript is from one of 4/5 schools.

It does say "Upon successful completion of a course, a partner university will award you credit and provide a transcript reflecting the letter grade earned." So yes, graded credits rather than pass/fail.

This does suck, but for those that can't get all 114 on your evaluation by the March deadline, it's not the end of the world, because there are so many sources of affordable online RA credit now. This would have been much worse 10 years ago.

Apply, work like hell, take SOS-110.....Profit.

If I were starting this from scratch, and were going for a Liberal Studies degree, I would give UMPI a serious look.
