TESU Eliminates SOME Study.com Transfer Credits [unconfirmed]

[dfrecore]

So this is going to make it impossible to get a CS degree at TESU unless you take CS courses at TESU or RA sources? I'm pretty upset I didn't get an email about this from TESU. I feel like I've had the rug pulled out from under me.

It was a lowball move that TESU did. 

You can waste time dwelling on it going through the 5 stages of grief or move on.

There's no reason to be rude to me. I asked a simple question and expressed disappointment.

In the past, TESU told people about things like this in advance - so they'd maybe make a decision that was going to go into effect on March 31, and tell you on January 1 what the deal was.  It only applied to ENROLLED students, which is why we tell everyone who wants to get a degree at TESU to enroll right away.

Anyway, this is only from one advisor, hopefully they are wrong and TESU will give everyone some time to complete these courses.

In the meantime, you do have 12 days remaining to complete these courses, so my advice is to do at least 1 of them if not all 3.  It sucks, but it's all you can do.

The main issue you may come across with Discrete Math is that many schools won't allow you to take it without having taken other math courses first.  And they may not count any ACE/NCCRS credit you have.  So if you had calculus done via Study.com or SL, the school isn't going to let you take it.  So that might be one you want to do.  

COMPSCI 306: Computer Architecture is another good option to take because it's UL, and those are harder to find inexpensively.

The last thing to keep in mind is that you can always do a 16cr term at TESU and get those remaining courses done that way.  You can even study ahead of time, so that the course will be easier to do (I'm thinking of taking Study.com's Discrete Math course first, not for credit, and then taking Discrete Math at TESU).  That kind of thing is totally doable.

Yes. If it helps, you'll still be able to do it as part of a 16-credit term. But it's still a hassle to have to deal with.

Computer architecture  Done. Discrete math. Done.   Now I just have to keep My fingers crossed that it all gets graded and submitted to tesu in time. Glory to God. And  Thanks to this forum.

Way to go! About how long did you spend on each and were you already working on them before?

Getting them to TESU shouldn't be an issue - the courses have to be completed by 12/31 (we think), but TESU normally does not require that they receive them on the cutoff date as well (they normally have a later cutoff date for that).

I spent ALOT of time on computer architecture. Much more than I probably would have taking it through TESU. I just put a rush on the finishing touches, And put a bow around it when we found out about the new policy. Discrete math I had about half of it done months ago before I got bogged down. Then I crammed. Lol. So nothing magical here just a lot of hard work.

Finished Discrete Math today. It's totally possible to finish it in 24-48 hours but I definitely wouldn't recommend it! Tomorrow, I'll take Computer Architecture's exam so I know how many points I need for the assignment I've got half-done right now. Finishing both of these classes in a week is ridiculously stressful. Especially with the holidays coming up.

Good job!  It's amazing what a little motivation can do.  Sorry for the stress but this will be a good thing in the end.

Good News they response me my advisor was wrong the course just need to be completed before December 31 2021
we all have 11 days to finish this courses.
My advisor told me I need to send the transcript before December 31 his was wrong.

"Good morning,
 
That is correct, the course must be completed by 12/31/2021 in order to be able to transfer as it was recently deemed to no longer be transferrable to TESU. So if you can complete that course by 12/31/2021 then it is fine, but otherwise you should not take the course.
 
Thank you,
Dennis"

Oh thank goodness! Thank you for the update. Dealing with some RL issues, so I haven't been able to complete all the quizzes and take the exam like I planned. Having extra time will help a lot!

@gams007, thanks for verifying. That's what I thought, to get the course completed before 12/31/2021. You can transfer in the course after they mark your assignments and the course has been graded, the final for the Computer Architecture course must be done before that date.
