TESU credit banking towards Bachelor degree
#1
Just wondering if someone used TESU credit banking service for SDC courses in past and try to enroll in Bachelor. In this situation  will these credit banked courses be considered as TESU equivalents and can be directly applied towards chosen Bachelor ( if they meet degree requirements)? For example if TESU credit banked SDC Data Structures as equivalent to their course in 2019. One will apply for BACS few years later, will this course be used as already evaluated TESU equivalent and counted towards degree ?

I would imagine that any credits banked in that way would probably be brought in as what they are now because I don't think they get banked as their equivalents. I could be wrong on that count, though.

I was just thinking about it. Logically if they credit bank- it means they consider it as equivalent to their courses. So does it make sense to reevaluate this course again ?

Credit bank does not equal enrollment. Once you apply, they evaluate your transcripts. Just because a course was credit banked in 2019 does not mean it will be accepted in 2021. Credit banking is really just a list of all of your courses taken everywhere. It's not a transcription evaluation unless they do it much differently than other schools. You also pay for credit banking. I'm not really sure what the point of credit banking is except to have a nice list for yourself. Most schools still require the official transcript from the institution where you earned the credit from.

As I understand its not just putting ur credits together. University credit bank if they consider the courses as equivalent to their courses. Since they do put it on their transcripts which can be used for professional certifications such as CPA and so on. So as i understand its not just keeping ur courses in 1 place. Its  University transcript for credit banked courses which is most of value.
I never said credit bank= enrollment

Dumb question - why wouldn't someone just apply and enroll, get the courses on an actual evaluation? It's only $50 to apply, and $50 to register for a 1cr TECEP exam. The Individual Learning Account is $300 or $400 PER YEAR, depending on how many credits you have. It makes WAY more financial sense to just be a student there, and continue enrolling each year.

This may depend on the school. Many credit bankings do not evaluate the courses and compare them that college. Excelsior does not evaluate your courses. They just stick everything on one transcript.

Even TESU's website does not say they will evaluate the credits. They just simply put them together as one transcript.

Some states require the transcripts for CPA licensing to be sent from the institution in which they were earned. Some states are VERY picky about these things. 

ETA: The application says this:

Students may choose to enroll at a later time, but there is no guarantee that all credits will be counted toward a degree program at Thomas Edison State University.

This application is not to be used if you are a degree-seeking student at Thomas Edison State University.

Question is not dumb. Everyone has different situation in life. If Question exists there is reason for that.....

It would be better to apply and enroll in a TECEP to gain enrolled status. Afterwards enroll in a TECEP once a year. It will be cheaper and it will set your catalog year. Credit banking doesn't accomplish that and costs a lot more. You don't even actually have to TAKE the TECEP if you don't want to. With credit banking you have no guarantee that they will honor the units later or that they will still apply to your degree in the same way.

About the only thing that credit banking is good for is transcripting courses for non-academic purposes like CPA certification or employer requirements. Even in those cases, you can enroll instead to save money.
