I received my evaluation completed email about 12 hours ago! And promptly scheduled a meeting with an advisor. I also emailed advising about adding the CIS AOS to my education plan, which they did within 3 hours of the email too!
This has caused me to re-update my excel sheet once again, which I have attached in this post. The two BSBA AOS was completed separately from one another, which left differences in courses in some areas (understandably so).
The excel file has three tabs, GM, CIS and Unified Estimate. The GM and CIS are the evaluations as is, including any notes for exceptions granted, and the Unified Estimate is what I was curious about.
The CIS had one class missing from the AOS which I believe should be easily filled by most of my other UL level computer courses as they shouldn't overlap and fulfil the requirement. The GM one has remained unchanged.
The Unified Estimate tab is what I hope to draw some attention to. I've included the information you've stated, which I have marked down as yellow in order to complete the AOS requirement for the CIS. To that end, I also had some follow-up questions that I might hope yourself, bjcheung77 and other TESU Applicants/Veterans/Students may be able to help me in clarifying!
- Is it better to email in ahead of time or wait until I speak to the advisor next Tuesday?
- Would it make sense to have the two BSBA paths have a common/unified set of classes for all areas except the AOS?
- Is it reasonable to request the exceptions made to be applicable to both paths such that "the best option is selected out of the two?" An example is the exception of the 0.5 credit in the CIS evaluation which was not presented in the GM evaluation.
- I also believe that my other computer classes should satisfy the Gen. Ed. Electives but were not utilized. Is there a way I may be able to appeal this?
- Is it Kosher to throw all of this at once during the call? I am not a TESU Official so I cant really say "do this, do that", and my understanding of the system is still rudimentary at best, but logically I want to believe that the unified estimate makes enough sense that TESU would be receptive to it.
In addition, I am thinking of taking the OPIc for a foreign language if it would be a cost-effective way of obtaining fast, cheap credits. I have high-intermediate fluency in the Korean language as evaluated by the TOPIK Exam (Korean's equivalent to TOEIC), though I understand this is not recognized by the ACE system nor TESU directly. I understand that the Korean course may fit under the Soc/Human Culture section, if I did my research correctly on this forum, and am lowballing for only 3 credits. In the event I do score another 3 credits on the same exam for a total of 6, how would I be able to utilize the excess? I understand it is split into 3 credit blocks each, instead of a 6 credit block.
So many questions, so excited! And as always, I sincerely appreciate the feedback and assistance
