New Study.com courses (5/16/19)

[dfrecore]

I have never been in a situation before, where Study came out with new courses that were relevant to my degree... so this is a new experience for me, and i must admit i am a bit lost... how are we meant to get these courses approved for our degree plans at tesu when the advisors claim tesu does not accept them? Does Study have to have some kind of written agreement about the new courses with TESU first, before they are accepted onto degree plans? The answer i have seen crop up in the forum is 'you just have to take it and see what it transfers in as' but i simply don't have the free time or money to take courses which may or may not be accepted can anyone shed light on this conundrum? thank you all so much

TESU does have a partnership with Study.com, but it will be some time before they evaluate those courses (it seems to be behind by maybe 6 months).  Also, the advisors aren't up-to-date on when courses get approved through ACE, so they may not even know that they're ACE-approved at this point - they may be using old data.

So, for someone who can't afford to take the courses and hope (although I give these a high degree of certainty in getting accepted), your best bet is to wait to see what's reported back.  There will be several people who have been waiting for the CS courses to get approved, and will probably be sending them through soon.

Thank you so much. I guess I am curious, for those people who DO submit the courses to TESU and wait to see how they come back...what happens once they submit them to TESU? Is there some kind of formal evaluation process that sets a precedent for what that course comes in as?

Yes, that's what happens.  And because they are courses that TESU already has an equivalency for, it should be really simple.  Data Structures should come in as COS-241, and Intro to Programming should come in as COS-111, the same as the TESU courses.
