Thomas Edison State University suspended indefinitely Shmoop courses

[mvk]

Well, there goes the core of my planned BA in English. Crap. I wonder why, and if they will ever bring it back? I'm going to need core English credits from another source now. This will significantly up the cost of my planned degree. Oh how I wish I could have dug deep and taken all my Shmoop course already, and could now quick transfer them in... I had my degree evaluation completely approved.

If you discussed the Shmoop courses with an advisor before May 2nd, you can probably still do them, if you send an ACE transcript with them before May 30th.

I have them approved, but hadn't had the time to start yet. I suppose I could do my best to cram a few in and get a transcript in ASAP, but this is not exactly how I was planning on completing them. ;P

They really should honor Shmoop courses that have already been approved.

True, but giving students who've had Shmoop courses approved less than a month's notice to complete them is a d-move.

I agree. It's just nasty and unfair to students who have already gone through the proper processes and had their degree plans approved. Give a few months, at least six. What would actually make sense, however, would be to not allow it for new students, but to honor the approvals they already gave. If your enrollment runs out and you need a plan re-approved, then *that's* when things should drop off. Just suddenly announcing that you only have a month for the courses that were already *officially approved* is definitely a d-move.

Exactly. Six months -- minimum -- to one year. I feel this is something that should get some pushback.

 Totally Agree. Let reach out TESU as collective group , I don’t know how ,  We need our forum experts  advice here.
