Brian, I understand your motivation is an attempt to call attention to something that's messed so that others who come after us won't have to face it. I know how it feels when you realize they jacked you up and don't care. And I agree that's a ridiculously long time to wait for them to transcribe your credits.
Silly as it seems, like other members, I also went with tesc partially because it sounds better than excelsior and partially because I can do their degree really fast. But what good is earning a degree from a school that could eventually lose it's rep and become a joke in academic circles? TESC's custom of incompetent service is becoming more widely known . It's costing them loss of tuition dollars. I'm still hoping I didn't pick the wrong school because even if I earn my degree faster than ECE or COSC-what good is a degree if employers know you went to a school know to be staffed by incompetents?
Seems like in many of my posts I go on and on about the economy.
But I'm thinking with the recession there may soon be a culling of some of the lazy or incompetent employees at tesc.
mr mikes1, If at all possible could you please consider helping others here by sharing the name of your contact? Someone sent me something pm but when I saw the header to this thread I asked and she said it's OK to post. She said that she's not sure but it's possible one of the reasons I've had 2 bad advisers is that the informed helpful caring ones do the BS advising. Could be. idk

mr.mikes1 Wrote:I have had a good experience with them thus far. Had my first official eval today and the advisor was very helpful with selecting classes. I was told that as long as I have everything in to them by 6/15/09 I can apply for the 6/30/09 deadline. We will see what happens but whatever the case I am still getting my degree about 2 years faster than if I went to my local university.
The deal killer for me and excelsior was the name and the fact that they count clips and dsst's in your gpa.
TESC did lose one of my transcripts so I had to have it resent, I called someone who I have been able to form a relationship with over there and that person got it handled the same day they received the new one (because he/she was aware of the mistake).
You should try calling someone else at TESC and liberally apply some "honey". Only open the vinegar jar under EXTREME circumstances.
