TESU BA CS & BSBA CIS Goal

[bjcheung77]

With multiple subscriptions, it's going to feel overwhelming as you can't focus on each subscription at a time. Generally I recommend completing one provider course list and then going to the second provider and completing those, having multiple subscriptions is great when you have the energy, time to complete them together.

You basically need to pace yourself and patiently complete the requirements, skip any extras you don't need. Finish them according to your pace and study habits, you shouldn't rush yourself as you have up to 2024 where you set yourself a soft expected deadline... If you find yourself on pace or faster, then add to it whenever...

Yeah, you're right. I'm going to do that from now on, especially since I'm only working on one degree.

Mentally, I have the energy, but physically I do not.
I'll try to fix my schedule to work around the College+a subscription.

I sent in my Community College and Sophia transcripts recently.

I was surprised at the number of credits TESU is accepting from my college, even the 1cr ones. It seems all is going well.

However, they did not accept my Sophia transcript. They are requesting an ACE official transcript.
I'm unsure how to do this. I remember something about Credly here on the forums.
Is the Credly transcript what they are looking for?

Yes - although I was almost certain they ONLY took Sophia courses directly from Sophia...but send the Credly transcript, it's free (and if you haven't put your Sophia courses onto your Credly transcript, you'd want to do that anyway.

Yeah, I thought they'd accept it as well, but it seems that is not the case. It does, however, say that based on agreement with Study.com, they will only accept a Study.com transcript. Maybe there was some confusion between the two.

Thanks guys!
Thankfully I've been keeping up with my Credly. I sent it just now. I hope it all gets looked at before implementing that new evaluation thing.

So my evaluation was updated, and they looked at my Credly.

Some interesting things:

Precalculus came in as Quantitative Literacy from Sophia. I also did College Algebra, but Precalculus was placed there, which makes sense.
Introduction to Sociology for Sophia came in as SOC-1010. I read that someone initially had problems with that, I believe?
Introduction to Information Technology from Sophia is nowhere to be seen in my evaluation. I thought it would come in as a LL, so not sure what happened there. I'll have to check next time.

Everything else came in just fine, and I'm happy about that. Pretty happy.

The BACS will take any math, and the BSBA/CIS requires College Algebra or higher.  The BSBA/CIS will not put either math in the AoS, and the BACS will put either one as a 100-level math elective in the AoS, so it just doesn't matter.

Sociology should meet the Diversity requirement - if it doesn't, then you should appeal it.

Intro to IT might have been overlooked - it should come in as CIS-110, and could be used as a NatSci course, or a 100-level AoS elective in the BACS.

@Pach, you may want to screenshot your evaluation from top to bottom including the notes/other courses below, just don't screenshot your personal details at the top of the evaluation. It's best to see what's there and a picture is easier than reading text...

Looks like my Diversity requirement is fullfilled. Yeah, I will ask about Intro to IT on my next evaluation. Although, I am going to do Intro to Computers & Dig Tech in college, so that may fulfill it anyways?

Woops, sorry I have not responded to these messages. I read this as taking a screenshot of my evaluation in preparation of the new evaluation system coming out. I did update my Google doc on my first post in this thread. So that shows my current standing.

I do have a few questions.

1. I sent in my application to TESU and was given two evaluations. I used those evaluations. I will have to enroll, but I am currently in college, so I'd have to wait? The thing is, I may have applied too early. By the time my 12 months run out, I will still be in college. 
It states that if I do not enroll, my transfer credits will have to be evaluated against new degree requirements. 
I see people talk about enrolling in one class and leaving it there. Doesn't that charge anything after enrolling or not showing up? How long can people go without actually taking it?

2. I'm currently taking Workplace Communication in college as a degree requirement, but it is structured as if it is a Public Speaking class. Do you guys think it's possible it could come in as Public Speaking at TESU, or would it be comparable to Sophias Workplace Communication and come in as COM-1999 Special Topics Communications at TESU? I know this is kind of a long shot, but figured I'd ask anyways, as it would save me a course.

3. Also, is there any way to edit my first post? I hoped to edit the information, but if not, that is ok, haha.
