I can't quite figure out why these aren't just considered Free Electives, rather than not accepted for credit at all. Very strange.
I don't know, but it seems to be provider specific as opposed to course specific. In fact some courses are part of the AOS and had been given TESU course equivalencies and told where they would apply in the degree plan ahead of time. But they refused to pre-plan them stating that they would not pre-plan any ACE courses. Then a couple of months later they indicated these specific course with these specific providers were "no longer accepted for credit" and/or "no longer received for credit".
For example:
Straighterline Microbiology is still accepted. Study.com's is "no longer accepted for credit"
So basically was told by advising that several courses would be fine to take to meet AOS requirements. E.g. SDC and/or SL would be fine to take as equivalent courses to meet microbiology. Then after taking SDC course, was told that the SDC course is no longer accepted but could take SL. And given they will not pre-plan any courses and this has occurred with a couple of courses now it's become a headache at this point.
And if that's not enough, several courses were suppose to apply to a certificate program. So when they were not applied, opened a ticket to resolve. Only now, they are also insisting 50% of the certificate program be completed through them and refusing to apply courses there as well. And despite several messages back and forth citing the policy should not be applied to students earning a certificate at the same time as a degree, much less a student who has already taken more than 16 credits with them, according to the policies listed in their catalog and on their website, there is still no clear response as to why they are not being applied. Their final response was to just close the open tickets as resolved after insisting no more courses could be transferred and the remaining ones would need to be completed via TESU lol
What bothers me most are these unpublished rules they are suddenly applying, coupled with not following very clearly published policies. And absolutely no clear answer as to why, when you ask. It's incredibly frustrating.
