Hey all! Long time lurker, first time poster. I would like to thank all that contribute to this forum, it has been extremely informative and I appreciate all of your efforts. I will be finishing my associates degree this coming fall semester and I have a handful of Sophia credits; I'm hoping to complete my bachelor's at TESU. I used TESU's transfer tool to see what would transfer from my CC to their institution and the situation didn't look great. There are many classes at my CC that seem like they would fit the bill for classes offered from TESU but many of these classes were not on the transfer tool's list. So, I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this tool or knows how accurate it actually is? I have not enrolled at TESU yet as I still have a semester left at my CC. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Yeah if it isn't in the list. It likely still transfers you just have to ask how ut transfers as. Just because a course isn't in the transfer list doesn't mean it won't transfer.
Tesu is very generous on transferring credit.

A transfer tool is only as good as the information previously transferred. So, if you're bring in courses from a CC that doesn't have anyone who has transferred credit there (or only a few people), then it won't cover many courses, and won't be of much help.
I'd say that I'd probably only use something like that for in-state (so a NJ CC to TESU for instance). That will have the most matches.

That totally makes sense, I appreciate your insight. I was freaked out for a minute haha, thanks for help and reassurance!

What type of degree is your associate's degree?
If you time things out, you could be ready for the TESU capstone/cornerstone right after you are done with your associate's degree if you build-up credits quickly in the summer and sparingly in the fall.

It's a General Studies degree with a transfer pathway concentration. I hope to complete a psych BA at TESU. I have one semester left at CC(fall) and hope to take the winter semester to gain all the credits I'm missing and then transfer to TESU/do the capstone in the spring/summer. This forum has been a lifesaver and so informative. Thanks for your insight and the comment!
