Do WGU Credits Count as RA at TESU? - latearrival - 08-22-2024
This might be a dumb question, but I graduated WGU (Cloud Computing) awhile back and I'm trying to transfer credit into TESU to get their BA in Computer Science.
When I went to WGU, I utilized Sophia/Study to get about 50-60 GenEd credits knocked out so that shows up on my WGU transcript. I then took 60 credits at WGU.
Going to TESU, I'm wondering if the classes I took and passed specifically at WGU (about 60 credits) count as RA or not?
And one more question, is https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sample_TESU_BA_Computer_Science_Plan still valid or out of date at all? I am using this as a reference for additional Sophia/Study courses I can take. I looked briefly at TESUs degree plan and on Sophia's transfer page and Study's transfer page, and the suggestions there do still look valid.

Your WGU credits are considered RA credits. For a second degree, you must complete at least 24 new credits in the area of study and/or core of the degree. You would need 15 credits at TESU to avoid the residency waiver or you could just do the capstone.
Here's the link to the TESU degree policy: https://tesu.smartcatalogiq.com/current/undergraduate-catalog/university-policies-and-procedures/undergraduate-academic-policies/degree-policies/award-of-degrees-policy/
The degree plan on the Wiki is still good.

When you transfer to TESU with a bachelor's degree, your General education requirement and the cornerstone requirement are waived.
Make sure you take Calculus at Sophia, as this would be the easiest.

Basically, you just need to complete the 'major' requirements, the general education and electives requirements are waived.
