Questions - Credit sources and transfer

[sanantone]

That is not what it says. It says that you can transfer a maximum of 80 community college credits. You can transfer up to 120 credits from regionally accredited, 4-year colleges/universities. They just say 120 credits because most bachelor's degrees are 120 credits. They technically do not have a residency requirement. You can transfer in an unlimited number of non-traditional credits (CLEP, DSST, SL, etc.) in addition to credits from other colleges (except for community colleges which have an 80 credit limit).

TESC's calculator does not include the Per Credit Tuition Plan. Don't even bother with it. It's a little messed up.

Don't even bother with it. It's a little messed up.

It's also been that way for years. When I started looking for schools back in 2009, I tried using the cost calculator and it was telling me that it was going to run me a few thousand for transfer credits. That's one of the things that made me shy away from TESC back then. Afterwards, I got clarification on it (no, there's no extra charge for transferring credits in). But it was serendipitous for me, as I ended up at EC with the degree I wanted. They really need to either fix, update, or ditch that calculator.

I think there might be a requirement to have an online calculator or is that only for for-profit colleges?

I have some credits from Australia, Canada and a certificate from "Japanese-Language Proficiency Test"

Willing to transfer credits to the Accounting degree in TESC.

Below are the list that TESC will accept,
Is anyone have experience about this, and I want some advices.

Thank you

If I fail the exam, when can I take it again?

After finish all the Credits, how long will need to process the degree. (Graduation certificate and document that shows what course i took in the degree)

You must wait three months before retesting. You can also apply for an extension for a nominal fee. The extension will give you an additional 60 days to study. Thomas Edison State College: TECEPÂ Policies and Contact Info

Graduation Deadlines/Guidelines: Thomas Edison State College: Graduation Information TESC allows for exceptions but this page highlights the basics.

Thank you for your links.

I am wondering, If i fail the exam, can I use other source for that credits? such as SL


For the Graduation.
I am not understand this issue thoroughly, is it mean I will get the diploma and transcript after fall? or just 10 days after the graduation date which written on the site?

Your name and degree will be presented to the Board of Trustees on the date of your graduation. While degrees are conferred to students after approval from the College’s Board of Trustees the annual Commencement ceremony for graduates and their guests to attend occurs in the Fall.

[bricabrac]

Yes, if you fail the TECEP you can use another source for the credit. Which TECEP are you taking?

You will receive the diploma with student copy of the transcript 10 bus days after your graduation date (4x/yr). TESC holds a separate commencement ceremony for all grads in September.

I am not taking any exam yet, I am still planning.
For some reason, I need to get my degree as soon as possible.

Because TESC need minimum 24 credits from them, I just planning which exam should I take.
As the 3 months period, I think I will take the Exam that I am good at.

Thank you for your helP~

If you are using the TECEPs to fulfill the residency requirement for the PPC tuition plan, and if you only plan 8 TECEPs to make those 24-cr and fail one, using another credit source (SL, for instance) will put you short on your residency requirements unless you find a different TECEP for another degree requirement. If that is your plan and you want to factor in a buffer for possible failure, you might want to factor in/plan 1 or 2 extra TECEPs to your degree plan.
