Hi. Just looking to see if anyone emailed TESU in regards to StraighterLine Business Communications BEFORE they downgraded it from COM-300 to COM-202. If you have an email showing that it should come in as TESU COM-300, can you copy/paste the email contents (without your personal details)?
See below: This is the email I sent TESU Academic Advising.
Hi Academic Advising,
Please investigate my course transfer from StraighterLine Business Communication coming into TESU as COM-202.
The course was completed in May of 2017. The transfer should have come in as a COM-300 course instead.
I understand that in January 2018, TESU re-evaluated course transfers and that has changed to COM-202.
I completed the course prior to the re-evaluation but may have missed it on my transcript when I sent them to you.
Please see if you can change or correct that evaluation to "grant" me that UL credit, or accept this request as an appeal.
I am hoping to use that Business Communications COM-300 as one of my UL requirements for the BA Liberal Studies.
Thank you for your time.
This is the response I got from an advisor.
Thank you for your email.
For the StraighterLine Business Communication, I do not see anywhere in my records where the course would transfer in as upper level. Do you have an email stating it would?
As a member of the Office of Academic Advising, I look forward to working closely with you in order to ensure your continued success. Should you need additional support, inquiries may be sent via email to academicadvising@tesu.edu (please note your degree program in the subject line). In addition to this service, I encourage you to schedule an advising appointment. During these personalized meetings, you will receive comprehensive counseling which will enrich your academic experience.
Sincerely,
My spreadsheet shows that I am complete with the BALS no concentration - I am 1 UL course short if that course doesn't come into my BALS as a UL course. Does anyone have some information or any suggestions to get this fixed properly? Is there an equivalency chart on TESU side or StraighterLine side I can reference back to? Got a link?
Please help to look for any reference or "proof"! Thank you for your assistance DegreeForum gurus! Thank you!
PS: I am going for NSM concentration, this course is for the general no concentration BALS if I decide to "fall back" into a generic concentration degree. I have completed the BALS, but working on the NSM concentration. It is not necessary to get UL for it, but just in case I do go back to a non-concentration BALS, I will need it then. See signature for details.
