Free Course Jacksonville State University

Haha, I wonder if they would allow people to rack up credits... 3 credits at a time each semester "trying" their courses.  These would be great RA credits for transfer into the Big 3, especially if each and every one of them are upper level credits!  It'll work wonders for the BALS, just need 4 semesters and 4 "free trials" and you're good for TESU.

Will TESU transfer in pass/fail courses?  from what I understand, not all schools will do it.

TESU has no issue with pass/fail courses. They took my Strayer challenge exams, which were ungraded. Although there was a long battle with those, TESU absolutely did not care at all how I earned the credit. The issue was merely proving that the credits were earned at Strayer. As long as a credit is legitimately earned at an RA institution with a passing grade or equivalent, TESU should take it.

TESU should. So long as they are marked as courses on the transcript and not as transfer courses. They accept(ed) Strayer's pass/fail challenge exams, though jch had difficulty with that.

My whole degree from TESU from 2019 (outside of the Capstone) was pass/fail transfer courses.

TESU used to not accept WGU credits or would limit the number of transfer credits, but then they loosened up. I transferred three CSU Global CBEs (now SSAs) to TESU that were pass/fail. I initially had difficulty because the term the exams were taken in were not on the transcript; CSU Global has since fixed that problem. TESU was very liberal in accepting other schools' CBEs. Some schools will not take CSU Global's CBE/SSAs because they're listed as non-residential credits. In other words, they look like transfer credits on the transcript.

COSC would not accept CSU Global CBEs until a couple of years ago because of the residential credit issue.

That is great news!  From what I saw, it looks like they will be offering different courses each semester.

Update - Course runs from 8/18-12/08 and is taught by 3 professors. There's still around 280 seats available for the class. It looked like you were able to register for the class until Aug 24th.

Hmm, do you have to fill in a completed application form with all your transcripts? And is there an application fee waiver, I thought I used it but they emailed me to pay fee when I got the waiver!

They emailed me an application promo code.
Did the second email say you had to pay or that generic one that says you may have to submit documents?

I now have to wait for them to accept me into the course.

Yes, they do ask for a transcript.  When I emailed and asked, they said the most recent college you attended.  So for me, that is one class I took years after I go my degree.   They said that is fine.
