Looking for some advice before applying to TESC/TESU

I think they fill up your GE areas first (second) anyway during the eval. First they put in degree-specific requirements (like Calc I or Data Structures), then start filling in the GE. So computer courses that were not degree-specific but had a CIS/COS prefix would go in as GE at the beginning, until you took something else that filled in that area and a computer course could be moved down to your CS electives area. At least, that's what it seemed like they did with mine.

CIS and COS courses count in that section (D), but not EVERY computer course will. So you will want to see what a particular course equivalency is before you take it, so you can make sure it will fit.

If they're not from the normal places (Straighterline, CLEP, DSST, TEEX, etc.) where the equivalency is known, just find out. You will want to do that for all of your courses anyway, since you don't want to waste your time taking something and then not having it count where you thought they would.
