Oh no! I'm almost half way through the College Readiness course. I thought TESU would accept it as the ACE recommended "3 credits in college readiness and preparation". Well, that's a little crappy.

Might as well finish it out if you already started; it's easy enough and those credits might work if you decide to go somewhere else for some reason. But I wouldn't have even started it if it wasn't on the list of courses in the original post here. But the Foundations courses are also ACE recommended and TESU doesn't take those either.

Schools get to decide if they agree with ACE.

I will say that after looking at what TESU, EC and COSC take as UL from Study.com, you are WAY better off at TESU than the other two.  They take so much more UL, it's not even funny.

If you’re listed as a study.com student partnered with tesu. Can you still take Sophia courses and Straighterline while being a study.com student. For example. If I sign up this month as a study.com student and apply to tesu as a study com student. Can I still be working on these free courses thru Sophia at the same time and transfer them as well ? I think I would rather take calc 1 and 2 thru Straighterline as well.

Yes. The partnership doesn't restrict who you can and cannot take classes through. All it really means is that you've sent them at least one Study.com transcript.

I asked TESU and was told by my advisor they would NOT accept religion as diversity only as an elective.

Religion from Sophia came in for me under group C. It's definitely not an elective.

Religion from Sophia came in for me originally as Lower Level Area of Study (BALS). As more transcripts came in it was moved to Gen Ed Elective and is still there. I think all of my group C were covered. It was never in group b diversity on my eval. (evals were in april 2020).
According to website, if it can be in any of the groups (A B C D) for gen ed, it can be a gen ed elective if needed.

I specifically asked if it would count for diversity for a BALS and was told no.  I will ask again before starting as I would prefer that to sociology.
