Hi Everyone,
Just FYI, I was finally able to speak with TESC (apparently they lost another day due to inclement weather). I'm really glad I spoke with someone because apparently, even though you would think that TESC would go by the credits listed for each FEMA course, they go by whatever is on the transcript. Since FEMA sends transcripts listing CEUs only for each course (as opposed to credits), that is what TESC accepts. I am really glad I passed another FEMA course this past Sunday. I wanted to be sure this was all done before the Capstone course started this week. I have requested another FEMA transcript and confirmed with FEMA that it (like the last transcript) will include all the FEMA courses I've passed to date (including this last one). That should put me .9 "credits" over (I say "credits" because they are actually CEUs). However, I purposely chose this last FEMA course because it was worth the same amount of credit as CEUs (1), so no matter how they do it I will either be .9 or 1 credit over what I need for the rest of my free electives. Sheesh! I will be so happy when all of this has been put into my evaluation!
