School name changes

[bricabrac]

On my official transcript the state school treats all the credits I earned while it was a community college the same way is does now as a state college, there is no differentiation between community college vs state college. If one were to not look deep they would just assume all credits were taken while as a state college. However, on the back of my transcript, the name of the school and the years different name changes occurred has caused Excelsior to treat the credits as being from a different school. I know when I applied to COSC, Liberty University, and when I attended Morehouse College they treated all my credits as if I attended a 4 year state school, initially under one name, which is the new name of the school. Excelsior is transcribing it as two different schools. Since its more of an Excelsior issue I have escalated it to the dean of the department, as my advisor just seems to not care.

However, thats a good question about TESC because almost all the community colleges here in Florida are now state colleges.

Thank you for clarifying how the courses are presented on the official transcript. Good idea escalating the issue, the advisor is obviously not well trained. I'm actually surprised an advisor is the one handling this matter. Does Excelsior not have an evaluations team/department?


Well if that's the case, TESC would most likely follow suit. This would be an amazing opportunity for students to have certain courses transferred as upper level credit. As long as the credits are from a 4yr institution, TESC has been known to evaluate courses by title/description regardless of how it's recorded on originating transcript. This policy is one of the reasons I love TESC; well, the main reason is the school is located in my home state but I also appreciate the added perks.;-)
