HEADS UP! Transfer Credit Policy Change

[elenlushk]

If I haven't applied to TESU yet, is it possible to transfer 114 ACE credits by March 1st if I'm accepted after January 1st (but I would apply before January 1st)? Thanks for your help.

Due to the current holiday break, this particular situation is a bit more complicated. According to their website https://www.tesu.edu/admissions/faqs-tra...rces-appli, if you apply before January 1st you should be able to still transfer ACE credits before March (you would also have to enroll in a course in either Jan/feb/March). But with the holidays considered you definitely need their confirmation on this to be sure.   I would apply immediately and also email them for clarification. Then as soon as they’re back in the office confirm with them on this.

Effective Jan. 1, 2021, the University will accept a maximum of 90 undergraduate credits for a baccalaureate degree and 45 semester hours for an associate degree from noncollegiate providers regardless of the source of the credit. Noncollegiate providers are those with college credit recommendations from the American Council on Education (ACE) and the National College Credit Recommendation Service (NCCRS). The sources include credit earned from military training and education on the Joint Services Transcript (JST), corporate training, College Level Examination Program (CLEP), the Defense Activity for Non-Traditional Education Support Exam (DSST) and Advanced Placement Exams as well as credits earned from TESU approved educational providers.

If you intend to enroll in TESU and have accumulated more than the 45/90 credits, we will still accept credits above the 45/90-credit maximum provided that:

• You enroll in an undergraduate course for the January, February or March 2021 terms and;
  
  
• You submit your transcript(s) for all ACE and NCCRs recommended courses to us by March 1, 2021.
  

I have currently 72 credits in my evaluation, how much screwed I am? 

I'm a little confused by this announcement but I *think* I'll be ok to stay the course however, I'd appreciate an additional opinion. I completed my associates degree through TESU and recently enrolled in the Bachelor program. I will need another 60 credits to complete the degree (BSBA in marketing). I believe I can take many of my remaining classes through study.com (or similiar) and transfer them without issue. But I'm worried because many of my credits for the associates degree were through transfer credit (~35-40). Would those credits also count towards the max transfer credit amount? 


I appreciate your thoughts...

This really depends on where those transfer credits are from, if they are also non-collegiate providers, then you need to transfer them all before March to be able to do more than 90. You also need to be enrolled in one TESU course in the next three months. If you have 30 or more RA credits then you’re fine.
