Quote:B: Computer Sci 16 SH (In progress)
!! Exception under 1sh ethics, under 1sh due to TES100 waiver take 18sh
EDIT: 1 CIS-107 Computer Concepts and Appl 02/02/18 CR3.00 CIS-107 *NE

Managment info systems i finished couple days ago and has not showed up on TESU academic evaluation yet.
After it comes in I will need 12 more credits.

I plan to take 6 credits from TEEX courses and 3 credits from  study.com digital marketing.

I am just stuck how to get last 3 credits easily and hope one of saylor courses would fit into last slot, i will try and call TESU advising tomorrow and find out for saylorcourses but if someone knows easy/cheap way to get 3 more credits please let me know. 
Code:
CS402: Computer Communications and Networks
CS302: Software Engineering
CS102: Introduction to Computer Science II
CS101: Introduction to Computer Science I

TESU course equivalencies:

CS402: Computer Communications and Networks (CMP-354)
CS302: Software Engineering (CIS-351)
CS102: Introduction to Computer Science II (CIS-103)
CS101: Introduction to Computer Science I (COS-101)

Just a quick note... CS302 and CS402 have been previously evaluated as UL credits, but they are ACE recommended as LL, so if you need them as UL, you should confirm with TESU that they are still being evaluated as listed above. With all the other courses that TESU is downgrading, it seems prudent to pre-plan any UL course that is LL recommended to be safe.

I think too that those Saylor courses will fall into Gen Ed credits as well, so if you're in need in that area you might want to take both the CS101 and CS102 at the very least.  Although sometime CS courses vary in Gen Ed depending on TESU perspective of applied science vs theory (or a coin toss, it's unclear)

From what I've seen, CIS and COS courses fall under the Physical & Natural World umbrella on Gen Ed credits as they are generally Computer Science (or Information Systems) theory focused. The CAP and CMP courses are more specialized / applied so they will not be considered Gen Ed credits. All four are generally accepted as part of a CIS or CS focused AOS though.

'Generally' is the keyword there. This has been discussed on the forum before that it is one area that cannot be assumed when it comes to Gen Eds. My transcript is a prime example of exceptions, even after appeals. I transferred in just over 40 recent  RA B&M credits for the evaluation in the area - the prefixes they assigned them seemed to have little to do with what they ended up placing in Gen Ed.  Really odd choices imo of what they did allow vs what they did not.  The most entertaining part was that not one covered the requirement of 'Intro to computers' so I took that through Study.com when I had the Guardian Scholarship. Alas, I've come to terms with it (mostly Tongue  ).
