Confused about RA credits - falkenryder - 09-05-2025

Hi all, wanted to ask, how do I know if the credits that were transferred in are RA credits or not? In my first evaluation, I used WES to transfer in credits from a diploma I took in Singapore, and the transferred credits were listed as "Transfer Equivalency" courses and in the "Transfer Credit Evaluated by TESU" they're listed under TESU-Foreign.

The "At A Glance" looks as attached.

Foreign collegiate credits are considered equivalent to RA for the purpose of TESU’s maximum credits and implied minimum credits from different sources. TESU doesn’t technically have a minimum of credits from RA, rather a maximum of credits from non-collegiate providers. RA, NA now that TESU accepts NA, and foreign collegiate credits all cont equally outside that maximum.

Thanks so much for the info! I'm nearing the last 20 or so credits of my BACS, all the while worrying about where i need to get my RAs from (took 2  additional TECEPs and looking at TEL Learning), when actually I already had what I needed when I enrolled.  Undecided
