Degree Completion Advice Pierpont/TESU

Additionally, I have no idea why the adviser mentioned the SOS course at all, so I have no idea what the adviser was trying to communicate there. The only thing I could think was that maybe he means to say that Information Literacy can only be met via the SOS course?? I hope that is not the case, since the two science courses are literally all he had left to complete..or so we thought. lol

I hope what they were trying to say is that since new students are now required to take SOS-110, that would be the course that would naturally fill that slot. However, the way they worded it, it sounded like the equivalency for "Study.com | Library Science 101: Information Literacy" would be SOS-110 and so they won't transfer the course at all any more. That would be similar to what happened with the BSBA capstone where they stopped accepting transfer credit for it. The difference is significant since the first way, he should still be able to use the SDC course for that slot if he's on an older catalog, but the second way, they could argue that it's not a catalog change, but a transfer policy change which would have the result of forcing everyone who hasn't already transferred in a course for Info Literacy to take SOS-110. Since he's already taken the SDC course, he should send in the transcript ASAP and get that detail nailed down.

I've got to say that TESU is really being obnoxious about all this. They could have simply announced all these changes to coincide with the regular catalog change in July, and nobody would have been inconvenienced. This way a bunch of people are being thrown into turmoil wondering whether their degree just got more expensive and/or delayed.
