Anyone Graduate from TESC yesterday?

[Krisboelte1]

Oh, how I wish! Congratulations!!! Does it feel as good as you thought it would?

I applied for March graduation. I'm afraid that I won't get my grades in before the end of December. I have four DSST transcripts still hanging out there and I'm waiting for my grade in Business Policy. I can't use the CFP trademark until I graduate. The idea of having to wait until June is really turning me into a Scrooge!

I am so, so happy for you!!!

Hey Kris,
I had the same problem. Called them and told them its been a while, they said they put me at the top of the list and bam!, that Friday everything was good to go.

I might be in the same boat as well. I gave my last test today. I was going back and forth with TESC on classifying a Physics course as a UL course and after a couple of weeks, they turned back and said no can do. It almost felt like a setup denying the request so close to the holidays. I guess I studied extra hard in spite :-) for the last couple of days and gave the Env/Hum test today and cleared it. The problem is that the transcripts would take 2-3 weeks to work its way through the process. I also have 3 TESC OL courses (401, 301, 201) that the professors have not 'posted' the grades yet and it seems are not required to do so till Jan 3rd. They have posted it on the Blackboard site so not sure why it is not showing up in the academic evaluation form. Sometimes I just dont know what background processes are going on..

While returning back from the test center, I called TESC and they told me to submit the form for graduation irrespective. I am assuming tha they will just wait till they get the transcript etc, but not sure. The bigger problem is that I wanted to send my trancripts to a coouple of colleges ASAP. Without these credits and the grades/GPA, I am not sure whether I should.

rmshr3,

Although an advisor may have thought the physics course might be seen as an UL, in my experience those who actually complete the review do a very good job evaluating courses. Sometimes people hear physics and automatically think upper level. The course you took must not have met the upper level requirements. Glad you could quickly find a substitution.

Grades posting on the blackboard is not the same as officially posting to the college. Mentors have until the 4th (or so I was told) to submit final grade to the school. As I'm sure you know because you've taken college courses elsewhere, this is actually a good thing. You get your grade quickly (in most cases) and the mentors have time to review all students grades and if grading on a curve have the ability to alter the final grade prior to final submission. For example, you might receive a final grade of A- on your blackboard grades page, but have an A post to your evaluation.

rmshr3,
Go ahead and submit your request for graduation; then email the registrar and tell them to expect your grades. I missed the grad deadline by one day and was instructed by them to submit the request anyway (with grad fee) despite my grade/score not yet being posted. My experience has been very positive with TESC - there was no extra fee for submitting after the deadline and I graduated in December as I hoped.
Good luck!

Congratulations, sanatone!
And all those interviews - how exciting!!!
I think it was you, who, back in October, wondered who was graduating from TESC in December.
That's what made me start this thread.
Yay, us!!!!

Thank you and good luck.

Good luck to everyone who just graduated.

My brother (19) graduated from TESC yesterday too with a BA in History! He did the whole college run in 7 months, a lot of the time taking 3-4 exams a week.
