OK, received an email this morning that my academic evaluation was complete. Also received an email that they received the transcript from WGU. Guess which transcript was NOT included with the evaluation. Isn't that just a kick in the balls. Le sigh. At least I can request one more evaluation before I enroll, but I don't want to waste a second evaluation until I've at least knocked out some additional requirements.

My understanding is that adding a transcript from a new source to your existing evaluation does not use up one of your two evaluations. An extra evaluation happens only when a) You want to get an evaluation for a different degree or b) You send an updated transcript from a source you've already sent a transcript from

That's good to know, I sent them an email asking why it wasn't included in the evaluation, so hopefully I get a response in a couple days. In the meantime, I have a general idea of what I need to focus on. The only thing that I believe would be applicable from WGU is the project management course, so I'll hold off on that requirement until I get an answer from TESU. Is there a way to export the evaluation in a PDF format?

Nevermind, I just highlighted the evaluation and printed the selected text using the PDF printer, that works well enough.

And I just got a reply back from TESU. You are correct, they added my WGU transcript to the queue to be added to my current evaluation, so I don't have to use the second one yet.

You should have them move the Ethics PHI384 from Diversity to Ethics and then have them move your Princ of Sociology SOC1510 from OTHER (not used) to Diversity.
Edit: Also the PSC3470 American Foreign Policy should fit into the Civic Engagement (Out of Electives) and have them move something like ENG-201 Technical Writing for Electives

I was thinking the same thing. And then when I take the proctored exam for American Government on Study.com, I will be done with that section.

How long does TESU take to evaluate a transcript? They have had it since the 2nd and my transcript has yet to be updated. They emailed me a few days ago saying they received it, but nothing has been added. I always thought it only took a week?

If they don't like the Princ of Sociology SOC1510 for Diversity (although they should), you could move that to Electives, and move up REL1030 Intro to Religion into Diversity. This is not the best use of credit placements. I think you may have overwhelmed the person doing it with the sheer amount of credits, ha (seriously you have so many) - it is almost like they let the "what if" tool do it and the human did not double check the placements as I am doing right now. It is likely other forum members may see things too that can be moved. Other than the required SOS-110, for things not in your Business CORE or AOS you should only be short Comp I & II

The standard seems to be about 20 business days...call it a month. If there's an urgent need, like needing to register for the capstone, you can request them to expedite.

LOL, yeah, I've bounced around a lot educationally speaking. I still have rookie numbers compared to some people on this board though. I'd love to see a consolidated transcript for someone like LifeLongLearning.

They received the majority of my transcripts between Sept. 23 and Sept. 30. The started my evaluation on Monday (Oct. 7) and finished up this morning with the exception of the WGU transcript that also just arrived this morning. Suffice to say, they started the evaluation 10 days after receiving my first transcript and about 10 business days to complete from when they received the last transcript. Based on this, I expect it will take about 10 business days for me to see the addition of the WGU credits to my evaluation. I'm betting this 10 business day window varies based on how many transcripts are in the queue at any given point in time, but that's what it currently looks like based on my observations.
