Numbering of TESU and Equivalency Courses

[pws]

The TESU equivalency of some courses from Study.com and StraighterLine seem to be a bit off.

For example:

● SL's REL101: Introduction to Religion equates to TESU's REL-277: World Religions, however, the TESU Literacy requirement and for the other categories is REL-405: World Religions. 

Introduction to Religion is often suggested for the Literacy requirement, so I'm guessing that the 277 equivalency works fine (although I don't know why SL says it's a 277 course, since TESU mentions a 405 course in their General Courses list)?

● Study.com's Communications 301: Diversity and Intercultural Communication equates to TESU's COM-131 : Introduction to Intercultural Communication. The intercultural communication course listed in TESU's Diversity course requirement is COM-335: Elements of Intercultural Communication (which also happens to be the only intercultural communication course that TESU offers, both online and offline).

Would the COM-131 : Introduction to Intercultural Communication equivalency work for the Diversity course (the 335 course is listed simply because that is the only intercultural communication course TESU offers)?


How does the course numbering work? Is there a difference between 1xx and 2xx of what courses can be transferred to TESU? Will LL courses work for in place of courses that are listed as UL courses in TESU's General Courses list?

The courses that are similar in content but different in numbering will generally work for equivalency, but keep in mind that if TESU's own course is 300/400, and they accept a transferred course at 100/200, that transferred course is not UL.
