There is a required assignment that appears to be graded by a human. How much delay does this cause? Can the final be taken without doing the assignment? If the score on the final is high enough, can the assignment be skipped and still get credit at TESU?
The course is Psychology 301 transferring to TESU as PSY-363.
It sounds like you have two separate questions here:
- When is a course considered finished by Study.com
- How do you transfer a Study.com course to TESU and have it accepted
For the first question:
You have to complete
all of the required assignments in the Study.com course syllabus, they
all have to be graded,
and you have to have a total course score above the passing cut-off to receive credit for the course. Once you've received credit, you'll get a certificate of completion and the course will show as complete in your "My Courses" view.
This means that you have to submit every assignment,
and wait for them to be graded, even if you could pass the course without them.
For the second question:
First, double check that the course you want to take has
an accepted transfer equivalency at TESU. Ideally, talk to a TESU advisor and get the course pre-planned onto your academic evaluation so that you're certain what it will transfer in as.
TESU only accepts Study.com courses on the Study.com transcript, not through ACE. So once you have a completed course at Study.com, you will need to
request a transcript and have it sent to TESU.
Once TESU receives it, the registrar will perform an academic evaluation and award credit as they see fit.
Possible issues:
Do you have a College Accelerator subscription at Study.com? Needed to take courses for credit.
Are all of your course components graded at Study.com? Finals and papers can both take quite a while to come back with a grade, and the "# of questions answered correctly" you get after taking a final is not an official grade until your final proctoring is reviewed.
Are you eligible to receive academic evaluations at TESU? Applicants are given two free academic evaluations at TESU. In order to get more, you have to be an enrolled student (register and pay for a TESU course, and on the 10th day of the semester, your status changes from applicant to enrolled).
