Course Planning with TESU
#1
The time has come for me to choose my classes for the next quarter at my community college, and even though my degree plan is still mostly wide open it would be helpful if I could have an idea going in what classes would count for what. Is this something TESU advisors will be able to help me with?

Of particular interest is whether I could take either of the two Astronomy classes offered at the CC (Stars, Galaxies and the Cosmos or The Solar System) without duplicating my existing OnlineDegree Astronomy credits.

Depends how helpful they want to be. If you aren't actually enrolled, they may not provide any academic advising.

I haven't officially taken a class for enrollment, but I did apply and was accepted, just waiting on my academic evaluation.

It would be very hard to get a direct answer from them since you aren't yet enrolled. Also, if they haven't finished your academic evaluation yet, then it would be even harder.

I find it very likely that at least one, if not both of those would duplicate your existing credits. The only way to be sure would be to go ahead and apply to TESU and get access to advising. You could then ask them to plan those credits in and see what the equivalencies are.

I've already applied, do I need to officially wait for my evaluation before I have access to advising?

I'm afraid I agree with everyone else, you probably won't get an answer in time to register with certainty. You could try, but since you've taken the astronomy class and it didn't cost anything, I would roll the dice and go ahead and sign up for the two you have picked out. Worst-case duplication scenario is that you could drop your CC class if you found out in time that it duplicated. (and eat the cost of a probably very expensive textbook and access code). Either way, I noticed it wasn't your intended major, but I like your plan of taking advantage of all the informational overlap - very smart.

They might do it, you should send them the course info; Institution, Course number, Title, and Description and ask them to plan them into your academic evaluation. They might do it fast enough to do you some good.

Technically you don't have access to advising until you're enrolled. Which means you've signed up for and have started taking courses or TECEP exams with TESU.

When you're in applied status, this just means they will provide two evaluations of the transcripts you send in. You can also talk to an admissions advisor who may be able to provide some support in terms of helping you select your initial TESU courses to get you enrolled, but I don't know how helpful that will be for people on this forum who generally want to earn credits elsewhere.

I'm going to guess that TESU hasn't formally evaluated the OD course yet, which means no one there knows what it will come in as. Which means they won't be able to help you. This isn't an enrollment issue (IMHO) as much as it is an evaluation issue.

I'm going to guess that the OD course will duplicate one of your courses, but it's hard to know which one. You might want to wait on those until after you get your eval back with the OD course in there (please pass along the info!), and THEN ask TESU what your CC course will come in as. Meaning you're probably going to have to wait to take one of the courses until next term.

I personally wouldn't eat the cost of the textbook and/or code, that's too darned expensive in my opinion.
