TESU Wrong Credit Evaluations - foolmethrice - 01-04-2026
Hi I’m trying to get ACE credits done before starting BA in CS at TESU. I did a bunch of SDC courses (subscription expired now) and used both free transfer credit evaluations at TESU already. They evaluated SDC’s Political Science 102: American Government as equivalent to POS-1000 United States Government, instead of POS-1100 American Government which was what I was expecting. They also evaluated SDC’s Environmental Science 101 as equivalent to ENS-2000, instead of EAS-101 which was what I was expecting. Because of those differences I’m still short on the Civic and Global Leadership - Civic Engagement and Awareness requirement and the Scientific Knowledge requirement. I was using a spreadsheet from the website Major Mash.
Should I send TESU an email asking them to re-evaluate those courses? I think I can take Saylor’s POLSC201 or POLSC221 for the Civic Engagement and Awareness requirement but I don’t know how to meet the Scientific Knowledge requirement without spending like $100 on a Sophia subscription. Do you guys have any advice? Thank you!

It looks like you didn't check our Wiki's or the Study.com Equivalent List before taking those courses. Those were the correct transfer equivalents.

Wiki TESU GE

For Civic Engagement and Awareness requirement, you need to take Study.com Political Science 103: Comparative Politics.
There are many courses that will work for Scientific Knowledge, including CIS and CS courses.
I would suggest emailing TESU's academic advising so they can pre-approve courses before you take them. They usually get back to you within one business day.

Email academic advising to place the classes into the requirements remaining, you should also fill in the addendum and template. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-New-to-DegreeForum-How-this-Area-works - What remaining classes do you have left for the degree? Review the WIKI for degree plans already available, Major Mash is a good starting point, but, they're most likely is outdated.
