Thanks! I updated the wiki to reflect what that newest history course comes in as.

They gave me this link that lists all of them.

https://tesu.sophia.org/#courses

Interesting! I wonder when that Sophia page came back. It was still gone a few months ago.

[Murdockb]

I think that is an old link because it doesn't include the newer classes like Communication in the Workplace, U.S. History: Learn from the Past, Prepare for the Future, or any of the Computer Science and IT section. 

TESU is still not listed on their partner page even though they do accept transfer.  https://www.sophia.org/transfer-credits/...-partners/

It's definitely new/updated. tesu.sophia.org stopped existing in early 2020 and still didn't exist as of at least June of this year. https://web.archive.org/web/202106091126...ophia.org/

Thanks! Do you know when they received her transcript and how long it took to evaluate? Just curious because they received mine on the 7th and I was wondering how soon I should expect it to be done.

It's an updated or new page, but it's got the older info from their previous transfer equivalencies. They haven't fully implemented or revised the information yet. Someone at Sophia/TESU should speak with each other and have Sophia.org UX team update the page.

Here's the general flow of incoming transcript evaluation at TESU:

1. Send in the transcript.
   
2. 1-4 business days later, someone will open the transcript and attach it to the student file. The transcript should now show up under received transcripts in OSS. A few days after this, TESU may send an email confirming receipt of the transcript. 
   
3. 1-2 business days later, TESU queues the student profile for evaluation. They may send a status update email at this stage. 
   
4. 2-10 business days later, TESU completes the academic evaluation. During this time, courses from the incoming transcripts may begin populating on the transcript and evaluation. After completion, TESU may send an email. 
   

Sometimes this process takes just a few days, and other times it takes several weeks. In late August, I sent in a fresh round of transcripts, and individual credits started showing up today. Per the latest status update email, my evaluation should be done within a few more business days. 
The emails from TESU are very unreliable. I might get messages at all or none of the stages. They can also be quite delayed - I've had them show up overnight on a weekend when nobody would be in the office.
