Study.com-TESU transfer review for Business Communications and Intro to Finance? - wandac - 06-22-2017
Depending on whether my son receives the Study.com Guardian Scholarship (still waiting to hear), he is tentatively planning 5 courses (+ the required Personal Finance). However, the courses with an ** have been marked with a note on the Study.com-to-TESU transfer guide:
**Study.com Finance 101: Principles of Finance (fulfills TESU FIN-301 Principles of Finance)
Study.com Business 308: Globalization & International Management (fulfills TESU MAN-372 International Management)
Study.com Economics 101: Principles of Microeconomics (fulfills TESU ECO-112 Microeconomics)
**Study.com Business 113: Business Communication (fulfills TESU COM-300 Intro to Business Communication)
Study.com Business 121: Intro to Entrepreneurship (fulfills TESU BSBA GM Area of Study and comes in as 2 semester hours of MAN-230 Introduction to Entrepreneurship).
Does anyone have any specific information as to why Principles of Finance and Business Communication are under review and marked as "subject to change"? Are they being downgraded, upgraded, projects changed or added, etc?
Is it safe for my son to enroll in these courses (assuming Guardian Scholarship comes through), or should he postpone these courses until the note has been removed, or would he be better off attempting these courses elsewhere, and if so, where?
THANKS!!

I read that TESU might be changing their policies about UL Study.com transfer credit, and Study.com marked potential classes as "under review" until they could resolve the issue. There's a whole thread about it in the other forum.
All I know is, I asked to have Principles of Finance planned into my eval and TESU did it without any issue, so we'll see.

I would like to say though, that even if TESU downgrades the course equivalencies to LL, for the Business Core classes, it doesn't matter. There's nothing that says those courses need to be UL. It only matters for the AOS.
Now, if they changed them entirely, and made it so that they don't meet the requirements, then that's another story.

Thanks for feedback & encouragement. He sent the Study.com list to TESU, along with a CC course he's enrolled in for the fall. He applied to TESU, was accepted, enrolled in July term and signed up for the easiest TECEP we could find just to get him enrollment status. I give kudos to TESU for doing his credit evaluation quickly & with minimum errors. We're a little nervous over the study.com courses that appear to be under review by TESU. Will keep praying this Guardian Scholarship comes through so he gets the opportunity to take a few of these classes over the summer.
