TESU finally took in all 55 credits after much hassle and opening of tickets. At first, they did not want to take the 40 credits that were pass/fail. 

Here are the course equivalencies below. The next challenge will be to try to slot them into the degree plans:

Very annoying those all came in as lower level 100 classes. I think you'd have to challenge it with the evaluator though, not TESU. They are the ones who stated they are all L on the evaluation. I will be challenging it when I submit mine.

Open following link in Edge etc. Degree Programme in Physiotherapy, full-time studies | Study Guide, XAMK)

You can see "deepening respiratory and cardiac physiotherapy", just as an example, is a 3rd year class. These level plans are available for all programs and show a large number of OUAS classes are third year at least. Even a lot of your lower level classes should be 200 level based on the level structures XAMK provides.

Thanks for the suggestion. It will come in handy for my son’s upcoming evaluation.

It's one of those things where normally I wouldn't care about LL, but for some degrees at TESU the classes can be LL but must be at least 200 level to apply to the AOS (off the top of my head, it applies to the BA Math electives but I am sure there are others).

The UL issue is a separate and major one.

One thing these credential evaluators don't seem to know, acknowledge or realise, is that by US standards most EU countries university classes are "UL". It is why we don't distinguish on transcripts, because something is either considered Uni level or it's not.

You have to do two years of 'general education' type "college" to get into university (from 16-18), after finishing the US HS Diploma equivalent at 16. It is not that we do one year less (3 instead of 4), we do one year more since we do 2 + 3. We just start younger. The "college" years are LL (and evaluated as such by most US evaluators).

It's really annoying because they are the credential evaluators. They should know this.
