Yea... I ask a lot of questions. Within a week at my brick and mortar school the people at the veterans office knew me by name... I was in there everyday asking some obscure question that I couldn't find the answer to online.
The military advisor that I work with on base is pretty knowledgable, if I have questions I just ask him.

If the class is a class you've already taken, it will be evaluated when you apply and you'll find out then. Otherwise, if it's a class you are considering, you HAVE TO have your TESC advisor pre-approve the course- they call it "planning in." If you are freelancing your degree, you should either go ahead and enroll or wait until you HAVE to enroll and take it then- you need an advisor to plan this into your transcript.

Thank you all for your feedback on this question.
I'm wondering....does TESC ever ask for the syllabus of the course you've taken so they know what was covered?

Yes they can ask for a syllabus, or you might even want to offer one if you would like something evaluated at a higher level. I did that.

I had my CC Organic chemistry courses evaluated as 300 level at TESC.
When I took the 300 level ECE Literacy instruction in the elementary school TESC tried to give me 100 credit. I sent them a copy of the exam description and sylabus nand they changed it to 300 level.

Yes I did have success with it. I actually had 6 or 7 CC classes evaluated at over 300 level.

Not sure it helps for you to know but i will say that they evaluated about 5 of my CC classes as UL at TESC. That was pretty cool
