After completed and results are in, how do you send the credits to TESU?

[utility]

I sent them through ACE this time (about 2 weeks ago), still haven't heard back.

Around September 2020, I had sent it in originally through ACE and they required a notarized copy. I printed out the certificate from the site took it to a local notary, they saw me sign the paper, notarized it and then I mailed it to TESU and that got me some original credits.

After completed and results are in, how do you send the credits to TESU?

I know that TESU requires the certificate directly from ACTFL/LTI.  Not sure if they also require the ACE badge?

Does anybody know if UMPI accept ACTFL for credits?

[Cofffeee]

They accept ACE for credit . I believe ACTFL is ACE recommended

Does anyone know if you can retake OPI exams if you want to improve the score?

"ACTFL Retest Policy requires a wait time of 90 days between retakes (a one-time waiver of the 90-day wait time is permitted). Consult with faculty on when best to take your OPI. In general, it is best to take it soon after your study abroad semester."

This is for teacher...but I guess to apply to everybody on the waiting period.
