UL RA Credits Needed for TESU BA Computer Science

[ajlm1984]

Another possible solution would be to enroll at CSU Global as a non-degree seeking student. Assuming they allow you to take their exams, they have a couple of them that have a good chance of working:  https://csuglobal.edu/undergraduate/alte...ssessments

Principles of Robotic Theory CSC430S (3 credits)
Database Management ITS410S (3 credits) - Probably would overlap with SDC's database management
Database Concepts MIS407S (3 credits) - Could overlap with SDC
Cloud Computing and Big Data MIS440S (3 credits) - Might only work for the BSBA CIS but who knows.

This has not been verified as a viable path because CSU says that the exams are only available to "enrolled students" but the wording on the admissions page makes it look like non-degree seeking students are also eligible to take the exams.

A few days ago, I tried to enroll in CSU as a non-degree seeking student, and I had the chance to talk with an enrollment counselor. He basically told me that they cannot guarantee that self-study assessments will transfer as UL courses to other Universities because those are "internal credits"

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but has anyone explored the alternative of the Cloud+ certification? According to TESU, it transfers as CYB-450. If APUS ISSC326 transfers as CIS-430 according to a previous post of LevelUP, should Cloud+ also work for the BACS? I mean, it's the same topic, and the materials are somewhat aligned; besides, the CompTIA academic store has a voucher for the exam for only $163

I don't think CYB courses work for the CS degree for some reason. I'm not 100% sure, though. Whether it does or not, Cloud+ expired on February 8th according to the TESU site: https://www2.tesu.edu/oplr/company.php?client=CompTIA

I doubt it Cloud+ will be counted towards ComSci degree. It will be good for Cybersecurity. If u can ask TESU then u r better to do so before u take it .

I've asked the TESU PLR people about the status of reviews on CompTIA certifications several times now. They respond to me promising information soon but never deliver. Then I bump the thread a few weeks later and get the same answer. Luckily, I did earn Cloud+ before Feb 8th.

I have a smattering of credits across CYB, CIS, CMP, ITS, and CAP. I just ran the what-if tool in webadvisor and selected the BACS. CMP-354 (taking the TECEP soon) went into AoS electives group 1, and CAP-216 plus CIS-107 went into AoS electives group 2. Those were the only things that went into the CS portion of my automated evaluation.
