Need help with degree planning - gherna67 - 04-05-2023
So, I was on this forum back in 2018 and hit the ground running with taking a whole bunch of ACE courses through various providers such as SL and study.com, I was enrolled at TESU and had roughly 75 credits attained towards a BSBA in general management. Unfortunately life kind of got in the way and I find myself wanting to be able to finish this and see it through, Is there anyone that can help get me up to speed on any transfer credit policy changes with TESU and or any possible tips or examples of degree plans? I want to be able to finish this by the end of summer and time really isn't an issue for me nor is money. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi, still want to stay with TESU, or would somewhere else work for you too? You enrolled and completed courses there? It would help others if you can post your specific courses as shown here: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-New-to-DegreeForum-How-this-Area-works?pid=335173#pid335173

Post every course you've taken:
Provider
Course name, # of credits, date completed (this will matter)
Repeat for each provider (it's easier to look at if you split it up); use full course names
Also, make sure you get everything on the Credly transcript (replaces ACE, which no longer keeps track of your courses). You can contact the providers directly after you set up your credly account, they'll send them over.
Once you have all of your courses listed, we can help with the rest. And possibly some other alternatives as well (TESU is not always the best choice any longer due to policy changes - especially if you don't have any RA credit).

If you sent those credits in and got them on your transcript, they should still be there, and you shouldn't have to worry about any of them not being accepted as they were at the time. I would do two things immediately. Reapply at TESU and get an updated academic evaluation, and post your complete set of credits, the degree you would like, budget, timeline, etc... so that we can help you revise your plans.
From there you will be able to figure out whether you want to finish at TESU, or change horses.

I wouldn't have OP reapply if they don't have any RA credits, since it's $50 to find out that you're kind of screwed. Instead, post the credits here and let's see if that's still the best option.

Part of my reasoning was that he might be able to keep his original catalog, which could make a difference.

Ah - well that would make a difference for sure, but I'm guessing that they will make OP do the 2023 catalog. It's been a long time...

PrettyFlyforaChiGuy earlier linked you to the Template, you want to provide as much details as possible, in addition to that, at the bottom of the template, copy/paste your info to the last post addendum. You can keep it short and simple, unless you have to provide some really important details, I would recommend sticking with the brief info format on the template/addendum...
Just wondering, gherna67, did you do anymore SL/Study.com courses listed in your previous spreadsheet? I just re-read your previous thread and posts: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Degree-plan-help--30728 : Depending on your budget, commitments, study habits, you may be better off staying at TESU or jumping to UMPI, let's get a better overview of your situation...
