Thanks for sharing this info. I am going to email TESU ask them if CS 311, 321, and 323 will count as UL. I will gladly take these new classes instead since none of them have an associated project. Business 303 has 3 writing assignments and CS 306 has a time consuming project also. I hope I can take these new classes instead.
If you'll look at my original post, it did say that projects/labs/etc WILL be added to Study.com's website soon. If it's an UL course, I guarantee you there will be something other than quizzes. Guaranteed.
I would wait to call TESU until they have time to catch up. Maybe a few weeks.

ACE recommendations
Sorry, I missed that. Thanks for telling me again. Well, I would still like an alternative to Business 303 and its 3 writing assignments for UL credit. Hopefully, a more attractive upper level CS alternative is available. I already emailed TESU earlier, but who knows how long until I get a response.

My question is: how much of a hassle am I going to get from TESU trying to talk them into approving the Physiological Psychology course as upper-level? I wouldn't have thought it would be too much trouble, but seeing the issues they've given people with the Software Engineering course, I'm a little skeptical.
What is my best course of action? Emailing my advisor?

I am definitely interested in the AI course. If that gets approval from TESU and ACE for UL credits, I might have to resubscribe to Study.com.

Honestly, I would wait. I'm sure Study.com is working with TESU to try to get the re-evaluated courses updated, but in the meantime, it would be crazy to try to push it when we know for certain that TESU has said they won't look at re-evaluated courses except on 1/1 and 7/1. To me, it's worth the wait.
Otherwise, you can always take it through Coopersmith, it's been UL through them for quite a while.

Thats surely great news. I'd like to take the Artificial Intelligence course but I wonder if I should wait until the course is updated or if I take it now it would still be recognized and credit worth it?

ACE
This is a very useful set of courses/upgrades. This makes it so that you can do the full Psych AOS (sans Capstone) via Study.com
Not sure about CompSci, but I'd imagine it makes it pretty close? Just not sure what counts as UL in that AOS

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of hearing. Since 1/1 would probably be too late for March graduation, I'm thinking I'll probably end up going the Coopersmith route unless I hear from someone on here that it's transferring as UL now. On the bright side, no extra assignments, but on the downside, I detest essay questions on a closed-book exam (which the Coopersmith course has). Oh well.

All of Study.com's UL courses have assignments of some kind (and some LL as well), so I'm not sure what you're discussing here?

Shouldn't be a problem. 90 credits is 3/4 of the whole degree. There's plenty of courses available from other providers to make up the rest. You just need a little planning to make sure you get the ones that only SDC can provide before going over.
