Hi everyone. I am approaching my final term and I want to give them a kick start. If any of you have a syllabus for any of the course please leave a link below. I appreciate your help very much and hope yall have a good day.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to be sure and ask you guys if Calculus 1 from Study.com transfers nicely into TESU's BA in CS - Calc 1 requirement? I noticed on Study.com it says the class is worth 3 credits at TESU whereas TESU states their class is 4 credits.

Hi everyone,

I am seriously considering obtaining a second degree at TESU in Anthropology. First degree was in 2016. This is just a degree "for me," as I am eligible to take the needed courses for free at my work as an employee benefit. I enrolled at TESU originally thinking I'd do a BA in Religion, but it seems that the Anthropology degree is making more sense plus I think I may find it a bit more enjoyable. I obtained a degree program from TESU in Anthro and put it into Excel. I did not include every single detail as I have a decent handle on most issues (from all you good people and the information you so generously provide here on the forums!), but I would appreciate some help with the following:

1. A few of my courses were taken decades ago at UCSB. It is on the quarter system. The courses transferred in as 2.67 credits but TESU is saying I need 3 credits. I don't remember this being a problem with my first degree but it's been so long that I'm unsure.

2. Area B1, the Info Literacy requirement (SOS-1100)... if I can find an equivalent course at my university, can I take it there and transfer it in? If I can't find an equivalent course at my university, is one available elsewhere? I'd like to avoid paying for this course at TESU.

3. Area B2: I took Business Policy years ago... will this work there? I also have Biz Law and Intro to Biz as possibilities. What about the World Religions course I am currently taking? 

4. In the Anthropology major section... area G says "Topical." What does this mean? Are these Anthropology electives?

Here's a link to the Google spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kcj3rLzL5ZfY_MrCOQr09o5VzVgKMIjz/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=108654116591355454880&rtpof=true&sd=true

Thank you for any help you can give!

Edited to add: I took that Institutes insurance ethics course years ago, after I finished my first degree. Searched for it here and I see that they never made the transition to Credly. I also saw that we can order a transcript from them to send to TESU. Has anybody done this? Does it work? I am not sure it if even matters for me with this degree plan.

Edit #2: what about this Information Literacy TESU course at EdX? It's 30% off right now. How does this work? https://www.edx.org/bachelors/microbachelors/tesu-information-literacy

I have been doing this awhile and worked my way through my first BA. I have gotten student loans for a couple more. But I always got just enough to pay tuition, with maybe a few hundred left over or something like that. 

I know some people take out enough to cover living expenses while they're in school but does anyone know how that works? Do you just ask for X amount of money and it's automatically given to you or do you have to interview for it or what's the process? Since you aren't working I guess it's not based on your income? 

Someone help me out please

Good afternoon dear forum members,

Is it not possible to use Medical Terminology to keep the registration active?

My last registration was August 2024 (also APS-1000), I registered for that course again, but got this email:

We hope this message finds you well. We are pleased to learn you are progressing in your studies. However, in a review of your records, we noticed that there might be an issue with your August 2025 registration. You may have registered for exams that does not apply to your degree program: APS-1000.
 
In addition to these exams not meeting your degree requirements and delaying your graduation, you may not be eligible for financial aid or military benefits. Please indicate the reason you have signed up for these options by replying to this message.
 
If we do not hear from you by the Friday before the first day of the term, we will drop your class(es) by 3:00 pm that day.
 
All the best,
 

Are there any other alternative?

I still don´t have the money to take the 15 credits term, so I need to gain time (and I have been using the Library resources).

Thanks,
MrPanda

I was hoping to create a comprehensive list of websites where users can take 3rd party college classes or register for college degrees with large discounts. My knowledge is limited. Please share what you know,  including any discount or promo codes or techniques to save money/time.  Together, we can create a useful resource.

There was a website that offered a limited number of online courses that were transcripted by the University of Pittsburgh. They offered a discount on degrees at a few colleges including Grand Canyon University. I don't recall the name.   Corrected below. Thank you, Mr. Whatley.

Oklahoma State University's PhD in Fire and Emergency Management Administration, one of the oldest in the subject in the country, is now available online. "Regular semester classes are taught live using Zoom one night per week/per class." A student selects a track in either Fire Service Administration or Emergency Management Administration.

Greetings,

I recently discovered dreadfully named https://www.ilearnengineering.com/, which purports to be a "UK Accredited Online Engineering College." It supports its claim by citing accreditation/regulation/whatever by IEAC and EduQual. (Note the terminal "L" in EduQual. There is an entirely different organization without the "L." Do not confuse them. You're welcome. ;-) This discovery inspired a few questions:

a. To what extent should I care about https://www.ilearnengineering.com/'s association with IEAC, and to what extent would anyone I might care about (e.g., other traditional universities, American foreign degree evaluators, etc.) care about it?

b. Same as "a.", but replace IEAC with EduQual.

c. To what extent would an "International Graduate Diploma" at "level 6" (presumably FHEQ level 6?) from an private, apparently-quasi UK college be considered equivalent to a bachelor's degree from an American college? (N.B. To the best of my dim recollection, the terms college and university are differently and perhaps more rigorously defined outside America than inside America, which might make comparisons more tricky then they seem. Or not.)

d. Skipping over its atrocious naming, would anyone care to share any useful thoughts about https://www.ilearnengineering.com/?


Thanks in advance for any information.


Cordially,
Richard Kanarek

P.S. Thanks also to our host. I've found this forum very useful!
P.P.S. I've been involved in distance adult education since the late 1980s -- anyone remember CalCampus on GEnie? -- and I just noticed that this forum classified me as a "newbie." If only, if only ... .
