Have you had problems with the class approval, appeal and grievance process at TESU?

- Dishonesty or misleading information given by academic advisors
- Courses turned down for no reason other than to force one to take courses at TESU and not elsewhere

I think that being uninformed, or just plain dumb, is not going to be considered dishonest (which to me sounds like purposely telling you incorrect info).  But I could be wrong.

Turning down a course because it's not college-credit-granted coursework, even if it's from an RA school is not for no reason.  And, TESU will take courses from all over the place, so saying that it forces you to specifically take it from them is not really true.  Now, the advisor may have offered for you to take it there - that's their job.  But if you would have actually taken the course, or a similar one, at an RA school as a regular course (like UCSD itself), TESU would accept it.

I really don't think you have much of a case here.  I can't see exactly what they did wrong, although maybe they didn't have a good explanation for why they weren't accepting the course - or at least, didn't tell you what the reason was.  I'm almost positive that they did not say "we won't take it from there, you'll have to take it here to get credit."  Just a guess.

And, I just looked, and TESU doesn't even offer any sort of BioChem course, or any UL Chem courses at all (and only 1 UL Bio course).  So I can't quite figure out which course they would have steered you towards for replacement for the course you're saying they wouldn't take because they wanted to take that course with them.  It just doesn't make any sense.
