I work with Verity Institute and we had been in touch with TESC since Aug. 2008 regarding these policy changes. It was nice to know ahead of time because we made adjustments in our degree programs so that students were already taking the tests/courses that they would need under the new policy.
Two thoughts came out of this experience:
1) Be in touch early with people at Thomas Edison (or work with a 3rd party organization that is!). Be sure to know ahead of time that what you are doing is going to work. It really stinks to work that hard and then not have it turn out like you were hoping!
2) Yes, TESC is making their degree requirements harder. This however, is not a bad thing. Remember, this is for your benefit: you WANT people to respect your alma mater when you graduate.
In my experience, TESC has been great to work with (and yes, I have corresponded today with people there!) and I trust that everyone else has a similar experience!
