Question about transfer credits to TESC

[Getiton1]

Hi Mian,

I am just about to head to bed….but all the CLEPs are lower level…I think the only exception might be a CLEP for language (help me out here more senior posters).

DSST's have courses that count towards upper level I think one of the posters on here lists them I am thinking it was UptonSinclair or Sanantone that list which classes will count for upper or lower level credits. Try using the white search box on the upper left side of this thread and do a search using "upper level credit" and add whatever class you are looking to find out the answer too.

Also Upton Sinclair and Sanantone have these really awesome and helpful links with degree plans and which courses will meet the degree requirements at the Big 3. I have used both of their posts and I am ALMOST DONE!!! If you have a question about a specific course being upper or lower level, feel free to post that so we can help you more specifically.

Best of luck!
Tara

I'm wondering more about it being changed from a UL while it's coming in to the evaluation. I'm going to work on a BA English and I need to have 15SH be upper level. But I'm a bit confused about how they transfer in to TESC. For instance several of these classes are listed as upper level, including English and American Literature:

But if you take English and/or American Literature CLEPs they are lower level at TESC. Technical writing is another example. Upper level some places, lower level others and TESC counts the DSST as lower level.

Also, some of these classes seemed interesting:

But would anything with "Introduction to..." in its title be counted as upper level as it came into TESC? Aren't introductory classes usually lower level? Obviously these are considerably more expensive than taking CLEPs so I'm wondering if anyone might have insight on how they would transfer into TESC. I hope that explains what I mean a bit better.
