I am going for a BS In CIS. I recently completed the Google Project Management Professional Certificate on coursera. 

I was able to successfully transfer them in as I listed them below. 

However I was told this cannot apply to my CIS degree? I sent a follow-up, because I think the advisor may have been confused. 

This was the first reply I got to my request: 

" The project management courses you mentioned cannot apply anywhere in your degree other than free electives. They cannot be used in your computer information systems section"

I'm asking and if there is a way to appeal, and also confirming with them that I am trying to put these into Professional Business Requirements section, not  computer information systems section. 

Anyone have advice? 

Coursera Transfered credits
MAN-4380 Mastering Project Management

MAN-4370 Effective Project Management

MAN-2350 Intro to Project Management

Degree requirements: 
MAN-2100 Principles of Management

MAN-3720 International Management

MAN-3730 Managerial Communications



Degree: Bachelor of Science

Edit: I was told to escalate to the Deans office. So I've sent an email. I am gonna explore other degree options / Advisor appointment next week.

Your Coursera credits are in project management rather than people/organizational management, and I also don't see anything specifically about communications or international topics. That would me be my guess as to why your advisor said they don't fit. So if you get them on appeal, that would be very useful information for others who are trying to get the degree.

The wiki will tell you what courses they apply to: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coursera

If you do find success in having any of them applied towards those degree requirements, that's great. If not, consider perusing Study.com for courses accepted at TESU
