Timing of exams for TESU evaluation - Ideas - 08-31-2017
I want to graduate from TESU in June, and I'm trying to work backwards and plan. I think I have a good plan of basically 1 exam per week through mid-Feb, but I have some questions.
Would it be ok to put off 2-3 TECEPs until the first half of Feb? I know the problem is if I failed the exam, but others say these are typical exams, so I'm sure I can manage.
Shouldn't it be ok to take CSU-Global CBEs in Jan? Not too late? I believe I read they can be slow on the transcript, but that gives a couple months since TESU is okay with waiting for transcripts that are on the way? However, I don't want to be biting my nails waiting and wondering.
It would be nice if I could finish all the ACE courses sooner, but I think I need until late Dec to finish them. I guess I should get an ACE transcript sent to TESU in Nov? I figure they can evaluate most courses, and when they get my final one in early Jan they only have 2-4 new ones, making it quicker?
I don't think I can finish all the CSU-Global CBEs and ACE in Dec due to my work and community college classes.

It all sounds fine, except you might want to take your TECEPs earlier so that if you flunk one you could still register for a retake in the Feb term. But if you're confident, then I wouldn't worry. It sounds like you're under the mistaken impression that all your credits have to be in before March. Credits can come in as late as May, so no reason to rush things in Dec. TESU courses and TECEPs can be started as late as the Feb term which ends in April.

I would create a spreadsheet of courses and exams, plus the schedule you would want to get it done by. Depends on good time management skills and a set strategy/time schedule to have each one completed. Try to stick with it, from reading above, you should be fine. Just apply for graduation before the deadline and complete TECEPS while you send in your final transcripts.

Yeah, I have a list now, with 4 exams every month. It's much easier to understand than my spreadsheet before which didn't have the calendar months
I wasn't sure if I needed to move some exam types to an earlier month. Also, I am motivated to work faster than the plan, on weeks that I'm able. Then I might not have to do anything at the last minute in Feb, in case I need to retake. I need to find out if any have a retake delay over 30 days.

How long does a SL transcript take (to TESU)? Can I put off my SL exams until Feb if needed? Jan?

Well technically they should get it right away (it's sent electronically) but their evals always take forever. But, if you've applied for grad, they supposedly put you at the top of the queue for evaluation.
