Question on TESU Process

[MSK9]

Hey everyone,
I hear a lot about TESU pre-approving students for certain classes.  Can someone shed some light on how this process works?

Suppose someone has NO college credits and wants to graduate with a BSBA from TESU.  Do they apply to TESU, and then does TESU tell them which of the 117 credits they can take from the ace-certified providers?

OR, do you just take main general ed courses, 90 credits of them, apply, and then they map out only the remaining few classes with their capstone course as well approving you to take other classes via study, SL, etc?

If anyone can shed some light on the process i would appreciate it.  Thanks all

I can't answer the first question but I came to this message board with a patchwork of mostly general education credits (23 or so). Dfrecore provided a BALS template for me and I got to work filling in the blanks. Once those were filled-in, I formally applied to TESU, they accepted everything and now I'm almost a month into the Capstone project, hopefully graduating in September if all goes to plan.

Besides my B&M credits, I used Saylor Academy, Shmoop (defunct for the time being), Study.com with the Guardian Scholarship, CLEP and other free credit sources.

Hope this helps.
