Transfer credit for TESC CMP-354 from lower level Intro to Networking???

[jam123]

I have been studying to take the CMP-354 TECEP at TESC. I must score a 70% to pass on this proctored exam. I have an opportunity to take an un-proctored, open-book, open-Internet challenge exam for a similar course at another school for the same cost but I must score an 80% to pass. The other school lists their Intro to Networking as a 175 level course but the material seems very similar. How can I find out if TESC will take the other schools 175 level for their 354? I really need this as upper level at TESC so this is important. Do I just send an email to the advisement team? How long do they take to respond?
