Guys, I have noticed that some of you are interested in the credit as transfer for a masters program and some others as transfer for a bachelors program.
Since most of us here are trying to complete a bachelors, I am personally very close to finishing my EC degree, but I would like a 2nd degree in Psychology probably from COSC, I was thinking about using grad credit as upper level undergrad credit.
I took the time to call the company (act.info) and asked them how are the credits transcripted and they called me back. They told me that they were NOT CEU's they were actual graduate credit in the SEMESTER system. (Many California colleges are in the quarter-system for that reason I wanted to double check).
The courses receive a letter grade, not just a pass fail. The nice lady also told me that the courses say something like Extension School and she told me that if I had taken a class in the Engineering school, it would say Engineering school next to the course.
She also told me that somewhere in the transcript it was said that those classes were not accepted for a graduate program at CSU-MB. She failed to tell me if there was previous experience transferring the credit somewhere else. She also didn't know if there was a GPA calculation on the transcript.
I think from my personal experience with TESC via my disciple Ace King, that they will take the classes, unless CSU-MB writes something weird of stupid on the transcript that would have the receiving school raise a red flag.
TESC initially didn't want to take St Catherines classes via VESI because they were part of their continuing education program, which made the advisor confuse them with Continuing Education Credits.. so I told Mr Ace King to appeal and his request was granted. Tesc called St Catherines to verify that the classes were for semester credit and had a letter grade and God Bless America... the advisor reversed her decision and approved the classes.
He needed Social Science credit and if I am not wrong one of his classes was transcripted as SOS the other as SOC and the last one as PSY.
Now, I am not a TESC student and I can't request approval for any of these classes. I am an EC student but my liberal arts component is already full so they won't approve any of these classes as part of my general educations and free electives.. I am only short of upper level business classes.
So.. if some people that are currently studying with the Big 3 could request approval for these classes it would be really interesting. There might be some appeal to do as with Vesi/St Catherines and TESC but the benefit for the community will be immense.
Anybody up for the challenge?
Blessings!
