Asking for a 3 credit waiver for Social Psychology at TESU?

[Supermind]

I wonder how common it is for TESU to count another school's upper level credits as lower level? I know it happens a lot at other schools but it seems like I rarely hear about it happening at TESU, but obviously it's happening with the BYU course. Hoping it doesn't happen with the Ohio U course because if I can't get 3 of my Social Psychology credits to count as UL I'm going to end up "wasting" more of the CC courses I'm taking than I'd like to.

Hmm, there was a top-level administrative change that went into effect back in summer that made it so TESU had to revise the transfer acceptance policy to honor the UL vs LL nature of course credits. This is what caused TESU to revise how they accept ACE & NCCRS credits and made them stop accepting some LL courses as UL and vice versa. I thought the purpose of that process was to ensure that when people transferred in UL credits they were accepted as UL credits at TESU.

I wonder if they are just saying that the BYU course will come in as LL or if that is actually what the evaluators are saying. Its always hit or miss with advising since they tend to guess a lot and don't always understand the policies or how these things actually work. Which is why they're often wrong when advising students on alternative credit transfers.

My gut says if a course is UL at an RA college, it will transfer to TESU as UL despite what advising says. You really won't know until you try though. And if two courses come in as different course codes, they almost always do not overlap. Sometimes they will if they are off by 1 number or so, but I don't think this applies when comparing UL vs LL courses.

It will make things so much easier for alternative credit students if TESU would just let us pick any 300-400 level course in the given subject, without having to worry about how it will transfer into TESU.
