How do I know how many RA credits I have on my AE? And AP scores? - mahaganapati - 02-20-2022
Is there an indication on the academic evaluation how many RA credits I have? I transferred some previous college credits and AP scores to TESU. I believe that AP scores don't count as RA? but I was given 3 credits each for -
ENG-102
GRM-301
LIN-310
ENG-499
So do I then have 12 RA credits already?
Thank you to all here, I'm sure you've answered similar questions so many times already! I didn't see this searching or on the wiki, sorry if I missed it.
I wanted to add - one of my AP scores (ENC-102) is listed as duplicate - can this be used for an elective or anything else? It is currently under the "other course" section at the bottom of the AE.

AP exams are not RA. Just the credits from the college would be RA (TESU doesn't accept NA, so we can assume they're RA if they accepted them).
If your AP is duplicate, you must have taken an English course that TESU evaluated as overlapping with AP. It can not be used elsewhere because TESU sees it as you taking the same course/exam twice, and will only use one instance of it.
If you think the content of the course and the AP exam are considerably different and the course should have come in differently, you can try to appeal it, but if it's just a standard freshman English course then it'll probably be a long shot.

RA credits only come from another college or university. AP credits are definitely alternate credits. At the top of your evaluation, it should give numbers indicating where each of the courses came from. As an example:
1 - Advanced Placement Exams
2 - Community College of the Community
If you have two number 1s and two number 2s listed in your actual evaluation, you have six RA credits. If you have one number 1 and three number 2s, you'd have 9 RA credits. As you transfer in more credit, more sources will be added to the list.

It should also say "The total amount of ACE/NCCRS semester hours (SH) applying to your degree program is currently:" above "Program Summary." Subtract that from "SH Applied to Degree" and you have the number of RA credits currently applied to the degree.

Ah, so tiny! Thank you, I see it.

So yes, you have 12cr of RA.
If you need more, you can use ONU as the cheapest option; or TECEP or UExcel exams.
