Saylor has BUS210: Corporate Comm - it comes in to TESU as MAN-373, but will work in the Comm AOS.

I was able to communicate with them directly and get my questions answered and adjustments made to my plan usually within 24 hours. I found the call to help speed things up for me tremendously.

just some additional insight.

collegechick Wrote:Yes, but I don't know if TESU accepts those towards my degree. I was just curious where others pulled credit info from TESU to see equivalencies at Saylor.org.

collegechick Wrote:You're right, I probably should just wait to be assigned a counselor. Just thought I could knock off a few credits in the next couple of weeks until they get to me. Eager to start/finish this project.

some of the newer courses might not be reflected yet.

jsd Wrote:you don't *need* to have a meeting with a counselor, it's just a good idea to. If you already have everything mapped out through the forums, no need to talk to them about your plan. I never did.

dfrecore Wrote:I can't imagine talking to a TESU counselor! They're morons. If you have a good plan from this forum, skip the counselor and just move on with your plan!

jsd Wrote:They'll always answer your questions via email within a business day, though. The only thing that takes forever is the initial evaluation, in my experience.

High_Order1 Wrote:I followed that. As a result, I am arguing between the pla department and the counselors as to whether PLA-200 is needed if I already have it. I would advise talking to someone after the system plugs in all your credits.

I think this is a different issue than whether or not the advisors at TESU can help. This is a problem that has been encountered many times, especially if Todd Silben is involved. Mot of the time, it's determined that taking PLA-200 at TESU is NOT required, but for some reason, it keeps coming back up.




I've been given four different ways to my goal via the counselor.



This has not been my experience.

collegechick - I don't have enough experience to help you. I know that all of my GenEd guesses have been ok, but don't come in exactly as I expected they would. The only safe bet I'd give you is TES-100 or any of the basic straighterline courses like english 101, chemistry/biology, intro to communications, aleks intermediate algebra. I haven't seen any pushback on those. MANY of the courses discussed here on the forum are either already listed on TESU's website (CLEP, DSST, ACP) or on the provider's website (SL, Study.com), so there's no need to worry about them.
