What is TESU Assessment Credit?

[studyandpass5]

Hi everyone,

I was looking at the TESU equivalencies for CLEPs when I came across this statement at the bottom of the page (this statement is concerning English Literature, American Literature, A+I Literature, and Humanities; I've taken 3 of these): "CLEP subject examination update. Thomas Edison State University has conducted an academic program review on this exam. Credit awarded for this exam will be considered TESU assessment credit, not TESU-CLEP credit, and will show on the official transcript under TESU assessment credit." CLEP - College-Level Exam Program

How exactly is TESU assessment credit different from CLEP credit, and will it affect how many credits for those tests are accepted? ACE already updated those tests to make them 3 credits each instead of 6, so I could already be 9 credits short.

Thanks!

They are just talking about what type of credit it appears as on your transcript, not the amount of credit. For some CLEPs, they will go under "TESU assessment" credits.

The Assessment Cr status seems to indicate that they review it separately from the other credit. I previously received an email from tesu that one of my ACE cr courses would be assessed separately and would possibly not be accepted. It took longer than the rest of the credit I had transferred, but it eventually made it to my eval as TESU-Assessment Credit.
