Transferring ACE credits to TESU

[dfrecore]

Should I ask for a waiver BEFORE I send the ACE transcript that has courses, like the Ethics course from The Institutes, and the Public Speaking course from study.com that are worth only 2 credits each? Or is this done after the evaluation?

I'm pretty sure they give the waiver automatically. If they don't, then you can ask after they evaluate it and it's on your transcript. But most everyone here has had it applied automatically.

It sends all each time, but TESU manages to just add the new ones to your eval. Not sure what they get on their end, but they seem to manage those ok.

It will be cheaper if you send them all at once though right? Should I send what I have to make talking to an advisor easier or should I just wait until they are all on there?

Yes, it would be cheaper to send one transcript in the end. Whether to do that depends on how big a burden the transcript fees are to you. Personally, it was a big relief to see my courses in the eval, and an extra transcript fee would be no big deal, but others wait and do it once.

Okay I'll probably do it at least a couple times then. Thanks for the info!!

Me too!
To send the transcript it was roughly the price of a large pizza (which is a rare treat at our house), but I felt like the peace of mind of know that the credits were applied (and how) was worth it.

I also had the experience early on of waiting to send a transcript, and having TESU (TESC at the time) downgrade how they accepted the course credits, so lost out on UL credit for that, which may have made me more nervous than I would have been otherwise!
