Gen Ed - Will these courses work? Help Requested

[Gloddy]

I have REL-277 for Info Literacy.  What you are saying is if I take Library Science it would replace this here and then REL-277 would be re-slotted down to the Gen Ed Elective.  I like this idea.

Do you recommend I email academic advising to confirm or will this raise a flag?
Thanks

There is absolutely no reason to have them move these around, as they serve the same purpose.

Agreed. If you needed REL-277 to meet the Diversity GenEd requirement then this would make more sense, but if it's just for the GenEd elective it shouldn't matter. Unless for some reason TESU says LIS-101 will not work as a GenEd elective, but I find that unlikely since it meets Info Lit requirements.

O.K. I emailed academic advising to ask. I will report back with their answer.  Please keep your fingers crossed for me.

I already have 17/43 quizzes done from other courses.  Would like to get this done on Saturday.

Back to the drawing board...

Here is the response I received.

Can you please confirm the following:

study.com’s Library Science 101: Information Literacy will satisfy the last Gen Ed Elective I need.

If not, is it possible to move my World Religions from Information Literacy to the Gen-Ed Elective and use the Library Science as my Information Literacy?

One problem with TESU is you can get very different answers from people when you email them. We know they accept Lib Science 101 as there are a number of people who have taken it recently and had it evaluated and applied to their course plan. Sometimes the only way to be sure is to take the course, have it evaluated on your transcript, and then see where they put it. From there you can ask for it to be moved if necessary.

I'm not saying you should do that, but it's a fairly quick course so it might be worth while. If not, there are other options for GenEd electives.
