WGU transcript appeal

[ztkerls]

Thank you quionegene!  I thought I saw another post with info concerning the MIS (DSST exam) would work for one of WGU's IT-related courses.  Maybe that was your post.  Anyhow... all John's DSST exams are within the last year or two so he should be good there.

His spreadsheet course is way older than 5 years.  I see spreadsheets as more business than IT.  Of course, WGU may not see it that way.  Hopefully, if he can get a syllabus or course description from his college, WGU will take it for spreadsheets.  Even if it's an easy course, I think this is a mental thing.  No one wants to lose 2/3 of the courses you've worked so hard for.

It had not occurred to me that credit for World History credit as a science was simply a mistake.  I just wasn't thinking about it in those terms.  I think the eval was done over the holidays so perhaps the person who completed it was over-worked or a newbie.

I do not think that they messed up on the evaluation for World History. According to the official transfer guidelines for that major, One physical science credit can be a history course. In the degree plan, Intro to Geography would be the class taken for this at WGU.

Here is a link to the guidelines: https://partners.wgu.edu/Pages/BSDMDA.aspx

Anthropology is usually considered to be a social science which also fits into only that one spot. I would appeal human/health dev and see what they say. I was told they rarely allow transfers for spreadsheets when my mom started with WGU so I doubt you would get that.
