Tesc And Fema

[ali4nia]

Just FYI I dont know if this is new but TESC now only accepts Fema credits which are ''reviewed for direct transfer'' which basically means they are ACE approved and only up to 25 credits,so before taking them make sure you go on ACE website and check them this way you dont have any bad surprises, also pay attention some times the name of the course is slightly different than the name on FEMA website so you have to use different search criteria on ACE to find them. examples : IS-00302, IS-00331, IS-00340, IS-00650 are not ACE approved yet !

Ali, could you please post your source of information? Every search I try in the National Guide comes back with a "No results were found" message.

Thanks!

[ali4nia]

this is on the TESC message board I cant put a link as you have to log in as student to access this board

[scfraser1]

How long does it usually take for FEMA to send your transcripts to TESC? I faxed my request last Thursday and I need to have them into TESC by the end of the month.

[ali4nia]

Fema send their transcript pretty fast usually they send 2 transcripts at the same time, one is sent to your home address and the other one to TESC so once you received the transcript in the mail , you can consider that the other one has been sent to TESC as well, its pretty fast I would say 2-5 days after you faxed the request. when you see in myedison in transcript received some thing like TESC-ASSESSMENT CREDIT thats usually Fema.
