SDC and TESU American Gov't

[rachel83az]

Can you direct me to the equivalency page?  I am just starting to plan and have no idea where to find this stuff "officially" outside of this forum.

I have also read that all the Sophia/SDC stuff needs to be done BEFORE starting TESU courses?  Does this mean I need not apply until I have done everything else?  Because I am getting mixed info.  Some say to apply so they can evaluate what I have, others say I need it all in place first or they won't take the transfers after that initial eval.  Thanks for any info you can provide.

There are two. They are formatted differently but contain the same information.

This one is good if you need a course in a particular AOS but you don't know exactly what it's called: https://study.com/directory/school/Thoma...ransferTab

This one is good if you think you know what SDC course you want but you don't know how it transfers to TESU: https://study.com/college/school/thomas-...rsity.html

You don't HAVE to finish Sophia/SDC stuff before applying to TESU, it's just good practice to finish at least some stuff because the clock starts as soon as you apply. (But if you already have credits from a CC or another university, it's a good idea to apply immediately so that you're not duplicating credits by taking Sophia/SDC courses unnecessarily.) When you are in application status, TESU only does 2 transcript evaluations before you have to become fully enrolled. However, at the end of the year like it is now, it's also a good idea to apply to lock in the current year's catalog so that you don't have to worry about changes affecting your degree plans. If you run out of degree evaluations, you can then become fully enrolled by paying for the $50 Medical Terminology TECEP (which you don't have to actually take).

Also, things are complicated by the shenanigans going on with the ACE transcripts. Do you have ACE credits from October or before? If so, APPLY NOW and send in your ACE transcript immediately! Do you have CC college credits? If so, apply and send in your transcript as soon as possible so you know what's left to take. Are you starting from 0? If so, you can wait a couple of weeks but apply by mid-December at the latest.
