Question about transfer credits to TESC

[Getiton1]

Hi Mian,

You know I am about 75% sure that the English Cleps (British Lit and American Lit) are lower level at TESC…and I am not sure which DSST's might help you meet your requirements? Have you tried looking at the handy grids that either Sanantone or IrishJohn posted for a "TESC" equivalent? That would be a good start, but if I were you I would e-mail the registrar or someone in the English Department to get it in writing which courses count towards upper level (to be extra safe).

There are other options for upper level credit too! I think Straighterline Courses offer many upper level options if TESC will take them towards your chosen degree.

Sanantone posted that Community Colleges are lower level credit now too…so that hopefully answers any questions you might have about CC credits transferring in?

Hope this helps,
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:

Independent Learning Courses at WWU

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.
