Defense Language Inst credits from TESC anyone?

[tester]

Hi Everyone: I'm just checking to see if anyone has submitted their Defense Language Institute transcript directly to TESC for credits without any problems.

I'm trying to get them to accept the Foreign Service Institute(FSI) transcript but they keep telling me that it has to be ACE approved.

This contradicts their blurb below which says that "persons who have been employed by the U.S. government and have served in the foreign service often can present records of language proficiency as assessed by FSI." The same goes for DLI. I think "assessed by FSI" are the key words here.

Appreciate your feedback. Thanks a lot for taking the time to response!!

Excerpts from TESC College Catalog"Ways to Earn Undergraduate Credits"

Defense Language Institute (DLI)
The Defense Language Institute (DLI) administers a series of Defense Language Proficiency Tests (DLPT), which support its extensive foreign language instruction programs for active duty military personnel. Persons who served in the military may present records of language proficiency as assessed by DLI. The examinations, which test listening, reading and speaking skills, are scored on the basis of the level of proficiency achieved in each of the three areas. A variable range of credits may be earned, depending on the combination of scores received. Students should request that transcripts be sent to the Office of the Registrar by writing to: Commandant, DLIFLG, Attn. Academic Records (transcripts), Presidio of Monterey, Monterey, CA 93944-5006 or by calling (831) 242-5825; DLIFLC.edu - Home.

Foreign Service Institute (FSI)
The Foreign Service Institute (FSI) Foreign Service Institute mission and Transition Center programs, classes, and workshops. administers a series of oral proficiency language assessment examinations to test the oral language proficiency of prospective U.S. Department of State employees who will be stationed abroad. Persons who have been employed by the U.S. government and have served in the foreign service often can present records of language proficiency as assessed by FSI. Although many languages are assessed by the FSI, only the French and Spanish examinations have been evaluated in terms of college credit recommendations.

please let me know how do you request DLI to send those transcripts to TESC.

I'm trying to get my BA in Foreign Language from TESC and just submitted my request for evaluation about two weeks ago. I will keep you guys updated if they give me credit for my transcript from DLI and for the dlpt scores.

Anusua: Go to the dli website (DLIFLC.edu - Home) and fill out the form there and send it in to the registrar's office. They will then send the transcript to TESC.

I emailed a military advisor at TESC. Maria Marte, mmarte@tesc.edu, she sent me the form required to send the request for the DLPT transcripts. Send her an email and request it. I will post once I go through all my emails and find it.
