CSU Global SSA - tjguitar85 - 10-23-2019

Has anyone been able to transfer these to TESU or COSC?

RE: CSU Global SSA - sanantone - 10-23-2019

CSU Global SSAs used to be CSU Global CBEs. Several people, including myself, have transferred CBEs to TESU. After arguing with COSC for a bit, they decided to accept CBEs, but they could have changed their mind since then. They didn't list any of my CSU Global credits on my advising worksheet. I'm assuming that Excelsior accepts them because they listed them as excess credit on my evaluation instead of credit that's not accepted.

Are there any upper-level courses available for CIS?

RE: CSU Global SSA - tjguitar85 - 11-01-2019

CSU Global is giving me the run around on taking an SSA:

"Students must take a regular course with a SSA. You cannot enroll just for a SSA by itself. Are there any other courses that you need to take? You do also have the option to take the Auditing course as a stand alone course as a non degree seeking option. "

What's up with that?

Apparently they've changed their policies on the SSA's, at least that's what I'm getting.  I'd never heard anyone having a problem taking SSA's alone until very recently.

I'd find another option.

What do you need to take?

I need to take a 3 credits auditing course as a requirement for job qualifications.  I can do that separately from my BSBA, but either way, it appears the cheapest option is going to be spending the ~$1k on a course at either CSU Global or TESU.


RE: CSU Global SSA - tesu-acct-student - 11-03-2019

Not sure if this will work, but others here have talked about Oakton Community College for accounting credits. I just checked, and they do have a three credit auditing course. I think their online courses cost the same as in-state tuition. Here is a listing of the accounting courses they offered online for Fall 2019. You'll see Audit there.

Thanks for the tip! That is perfect, since it's 200 level maybe it is less writing intensive.


BTW, In case others are curious, here are the syllabi for CSU Globla and TESU's auditing courses.  CSU Global seems to be substantially more writing intensive, but it has no exams. TESU has two exams which are weighted heavily in the overall grade.
