Quick question.
Lets say I send some certificates for the initial evaluation after I apply.
Down the road I receive new/different certificates.
Could I send those in later and have them evaluated (for free), or would I then need to do a PLA?
Also, do I need to send a copy of my high school diploma to TESU, or is it just a yes/no question?
Thanks!

In my experience I just sent them a copy of my college and military transcripts. Not too sure about the certificates though.

Here is a list of the certificates TESU will evaluate as part of an academic evaluation:
Academic Program Reviews
If a certificate doesn't appear on that list, then it could be used as one piece of evidence in a portfolio evaluation.
BSBA/Accounting TESU (2016). MSA UIUC (2018).
Need help with portfolios? I earned 18 credits at TESU through portfolio evaluations. Nine of those were for upper level accounting courses. My advice for PLA/portfolios:
TESU portfolio tips The first post has the Portfolio Checklist I created. Page ten has the actual narrative I wrote to receive credit for ACC-440.
Using Straighterline's Financial Accounting as a substitute for TESU's Intermediate Accounting I? Don't do it if you are an accounting major and/or want your CPA license. They are not the same course and I think TESU has erred in accepting the SL course as Intermediate I. I made this discovery here:
Intermediate Accounting II.

You just send them in when you're ready. So long as you're a student, they will do the academic evaluation. If they don't accept it, then you have to use PLA.

In addition, if your certificates are ACE evaluated, you can just put them on your ACE transcript and forward that.
