Newbie looking for the best option

[cookderosa]

Thank you, both, for you input!

One question I have now, is how does TESU show credit for the FAA certifications? Let's say I want to transfer those in to Embry Riddle, how do I go about doing that?

I wonder if there's any benefit to doing the Associates in Aviation Support from TESU. I think I can complete that awfully quickly.

Thanks again.. Ryan

It doesn't matter.... I'm going to try to explain this using a story, because it's easy once you understand it, but it can seem confusing at first.

Imagine every location you earn credit from gives you an Easter egg. CLEP eggs are red, DSST eggs are blue, ABC Community College eggs are green, etc.

You can put your eggs into a basket and take them to TESU. They will look at each egg, accept / deny each egg, and put the list on a transcript. The color of the egg never changes.

When you pick up your eggs and take them to a different school (let's call that school Embry-Riddle) all of the eggs still have color, so the transcript TESU made for you is irrelevant, ER will evaluate each egg based on its color and decide for themselves. If you left ER and went to University of Hawaii, all the eggs still have their original color even though some/all appear on an ER transcript. Nothing can ever change the color of the egg....except:

The single exception is when an articulation agreement exists. In that case, the eggs you bring into the agreement will all be spray-painted a new color IF (and only if) you graduate with the degree that's part of the the required agreement. The degree is what colors the egg. In that case, all the eggs in your basket are now gold, and the receiving college accepts the whole basket no questions asked- you are golden. (community colleges frequently have articulation agreements with universities in their own state- this is how you can bring in extra CLEP or alternative credit when the university isn't particularly CLEP friendly but the CC is)

Finally, if the university is NOT part of an articulation agreement, the gold paint is washed off and each credit is evaluated again.

LOL, not sure what made me think of eggs...but did that help?
