New here - Looking to upgrade to a degree (Canadian resident)

Paid the extra $50 for rush service yesterday from WES, hopefully once TESU receives it, it won't take a month...

TESU will take a month regardless of what WES does.  I'm not kidding when I say that I think they get your file on day 1, and go and put it out in the tickler file at day 30, and then no matter what happens over the next 29 days (getting all your transcripts, not having any files to look at on days 11, 17, and 27), they WILL NOT look at your file until the 30-day time period is up.

It would seem that they would just do the evals as soon as they receive all of your transcripts, but nope.

That's pretty long just to input where previous courses taken should fit into a degree plan, when already being provided guidance from WES.

I am trying to do as much as I can in the meantime, but don't want to take too much either until the eval comes back.

Well my WES course evaluation is now complete, says it's been shipped to TESU and myself.

For WES sending it to the university, does this mean standard shipping or are they sending a copy electronically? If it's in the mail I guess it's not too bad since its in NY and TESU is in NJ.

Also, for accepting a grade, does TESU require it to be a minimum of a B? I had trouble finding this, but I know a B is a passing grade on SL etc. I had a C for a few courses, so wondering if I will get the credits for them or not once TESU sees them. Nevermind, it seems a C is a passing grade, not a B.

Copy/paste your evaluation here and remove your personal details. Let's see what it shows for your evaluation/equivalency.

I told you WES is the best. Once you pay rush fees everything runs smoothly. I cant remember, but I think they send hard copy to TESU, and you recieve a copy via snail mail.
You get credits as long as they are C and sometimes even D if they are not Area of Study (AOS)

It doesn't show an actual equivalency in terms of comparing the classes with an equivalent course, if that is what you are looking to see. It's just for grading and credits. I kind of thought they would look more into the course content and display it, but it's just a listing of every course that I already pasted earlier with their credit amount and grade for u.s. equivalency.

My 2 year college diploma is counted as an associates degree and my 2 additional courses from the other college are listed as additional undergrad courses as well. 
And then the total number of credits are at the bottom (77) with a GPA avg grade.

It shows all courses as (L) for lower level, which I am not sure how that was assessed. Even courses in the final semester are considered lower level?? I took a business ethics course which was clearly more involved than the insurance ethics one which is classified as upper level on ACE...

The LL is not surprising for the evaluation. Here in the US traditionally anything that would be considered and Associates Degree would be viewed as  LL.

TESU may give some as UL if the school is a 4 year school....once they deem it to be equivalent to a TESU cpurse.

You can earn 4 year degrees at the college I went to, but my program was strictly 2 year.
In Canada, community college is generally 2 year programs where as University is generally 4 years.
