For International Students, NOTHING has changed. This has been on their site for a long time now. There isn't really anything to worry about for international students. sweetsugarNL, I would not "stall" and wait for exam scores, I would just work on the FREE credits first for getting some alternative credits in your ACE account. That's at least 15 free credits right there. Then work on the CSM Learn for math, ALEKS if you need more math, etc. Do the StraighterLine/Study.com combo to finish off the requirements.

Until you get your evaluation you will not know 100% were you stand. Until this is done, and your catalog locked in, they could change their requirements 10 times and you still would not know where you stand for sure (without the official TESU evaluation). We have many international student here. Maybe you should post a new thread called "International Student seeking guidance from others" - then you can get feedback from those who are/have been where you are now.
I think this takes TESU off the table for international students. Just a guess. Not sure WHY they are doing this.

It's not a new requirement, it has been there for years. Hopefully some international students from TESU can tell about their experience (also on this issue).

I think it's just typical bad communication on TESU's part and all they actually mean by it is that you can't transfer in more than 90 credits from foreign sources.

I feel like I saw this at least six months ago, and didn't pay attention to it because it pertain to me. All I can say is this isn't new or part of the July 1, 2019 update, it was there a while ago. If it was part of July 1, 2019 it would have been included with the rest of the update.

Thanks for confirming what I already thought.
