TESU Transfer Policy - Explained

[rachel83az]

Now I'm confused. seems like it would be up to TESU same as ECE exams or TEL exams are RA but they can still decide to evaluate and accept. In the past MANY posters used the old CSU exams for credit before they changed their policy to require attendance.

Operative word is "guaranteed transfer".

CSU says : Currently, self-study assessment exam credit is not approved for Colorado gtPathway guaranteed transfer because self-study assessments are not considered resident credit.

It has always been, and will always be, up to the receiving school whether to grant credit or not.  TESU is very good about taking RA credit from anywhere, including exams like UExcel and CSU-Global SSA's.  But you will never get guaranteed transfer, unless you are taking a course from a school where TESU has a written agreement with.

TEL is not exams, they are actual courses, and the credit shows up on an RA transcript as an actual course taken.

Back to RA. So will CSU-Global SSA's show up as RA or MAYBE RA or credit / alt credit or ??? If we send to COSC what happens?

They should be accepted by COSC. But they appear to be a bit pickier than TESU sometimes. So, I wouldn't really be surprised either way.

Credits completed by institutional challenge examinations will be accepted in transfer provided that the courses were regularly listed and taught for degree credit in course format by the institution, appear on a regular transcript of the college awarding the credit as Institutional (not transfer) credit with a grade (P grade must be equivalent to a C or better) and credit hours. Proof of validation is required in all cases where an institution has awarded undergraduate credit on a basis other than completion of a conventional academic course of instruction.

Charter Oak State college will accept standardized examinations offered by regionally accredited institutions (TECEP, UEXCEL, NYU language Exams) with a grade of C or higher. Other college sponsored exams may be acceptable if it can be determined that the exams meet the strict evaluation criteria of COSC Faculty.
