Showing TESU grade equiv for CR

TESU doesn't consider it a C, just as a credit. Showing a "grade equivalency" doesn't make any sense. What exactly are you trying to do?

This grad school is saying that I need to show that my TESU CR undergrad courses were actually a C equivalent (or better). In my opinion it is ridiculous because TESU gave me a degree. In my case, I took the specific prereq courses through CLEP and ALEKS (or I may be able to use a different course, like an AP exam credit).

But I feel like this is why WGU will state that CR means at least a B. So that employers or grad schools who have these policies can read that one sentence on WGU's transcript and say that you checked their box. It helps their graduates avoid these situations. 

I am unsure if TESU has some statement that suffices. Although, of course TESU is not going to give someone a CR when they only had a D equivalent in a course. That is the whole point of CLEP/AP giving scores and schools deciding what score gets credit, and the whole point of ACE having reviewed the ALEKS courses, etc. It's pretty standardized across schools (for CLEP/AP at least), but that doesn't mean this grad school knows about that or considers that.
