TESU removed over 30 credits from transcript and I have no idea why

They can change degree requirements/catalog and remove credits like FEMA and UL credit from community college if you don't maintain continuous enrollment. Adding new degree requirements is effectively the same thing as deleting credits no longer acceptable like FEMA. The net effect of either action is that you have to take another class or exam.

The bigger issue is the longer you take to finish, the harder, more time consuming, and expensive it will be as TESU becomes more restrictive in terms of transfer credits and additional degree requirements. Life happens, but try to finish the degree ASAP. Strategic management transfer, UL community college, FEMA, CIS-344 for TEEX, foreign language CLEP for 12 credits, lack of speech requirement, lack of capstone, lack of cornerstone, the $888 TECEP plan for residency, BA.SS, BA.NSM, BA.HUM, many TECEP exams are all ancient history. I'm sure in 2021, readers from the future will wish they had the 2015 or 2016 catalog.

The OP did not say they had become dis-enrolled and then re-enrolled, so I assumed that they just did a normal transfer of credits as an enrolled student. An enrolled student should not get credits removed.

And yes, some of the TESU provisions have become more restrictive - but some became less restrictive. At one point (maybe 2013?), there was no per-credit enrollment, and it was something like $3,000 to enroll there. The fact that it's now $2,000 is better for anyone new. They only started accepting TECEP's for residency in 2014(?) and it only lasted for a couple of years; so that was more of a fluke than anything.

The fact that CLEP downgraded their own exams was not a TESU thing, and TESU is still accepting higher numbers of credits for some exams. And, even though it seems like it's all bad, there are so many more options to take courses/exams then there used to be - for anyone who could not just test out of all of their credits using CLEP/DSST/UExcel, either because they couldn't get to a testing center or because they were not good test-takers, it is SO much easier and cheaper to get credits now. Anyone who wanted to test out in 2004 but couldn't/didn't would look into the future (2016) and think they were immeasurably better off now.
