Am I understanding this correctly about Shmoop and TESU?

My message:

I received the email regarding indefinite suspension of Shmoop courses on Friday. I am currently in the middle of the Shmoop Finite Math course. I did not request approval from advising for the course because, while the course could be used within my approved programs of study, I am not using it for that purpose. I am about to graduate with associate degrees in math and computer science and BSBAs in accounting and CIS. I have been taking extra math courses on the side to bolster my qualifications in these areas. This course is a part of these efforts.

So I am just requesting that I still be allowed to finish this course and submit it to TESU as part of my push to build my skills in math. I understand if this is not possible, but I would appreciate it greatly. I can submit screenshots to prove that I am currently mid-class.

Have a great day!

TESU Response:

We have solved your issue

Dear Michael,
Thank you for your patience while I researched your inquiry. Since your Shmoop Finite Math course was not completed prior to 5/2/18 and the course was never discussed with an advisor so we will not accept the course. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Have a good afternoon.

As a member of the Office of Academic Advising, I look forward to working closely with you in order to ensure your continued success. Should you need additional support, inquiries may be sent via email to academicadvising@tesu.edu (please note your degree program in the subject line). In addition to this service, I encourage you to schedule an advising appointment. During these personalized meetings, you will receive comprehensive counseling which will enrich your academic experience.
