TESU Catalog Extension

[dfrecore]

I would actually call TESU and make sure that this still works, and that it's as simple as they say.

The other thing to be aware of; I would transfer in EVERYTHING you've done, so that it gets put on your eval.  Once they put something on the eval, they don't normally remove it even if they change policies (so for example, if you took a course that was considered UL by TESU, and they decide to downgrade it, if you had taken it and it was on your eval as UL, they wouldn't change it to LL - the new policy for that course is for anyone who brings it in going forward).

You also still need to make sure that you stay on this forum, and stay up-to-date on everything that happens.  You will want to know if there are any changes you should be aware of.

Dfrecore, thank you so much for the valuable suggestions. I have had them pre-plan all my courses aside from one, and i will request that shortly. I guess my worry is that some of the courses that have been preplanned and approved by my advisor might get downgraded in the future, and if i hadn't actually TAKEN them yet, then i would be up the creek. 

I guess I could take a TECEP just to stay enrolled, even if it's a course i don't need. I am guessing the upper level TECEPs are pretty difficult? I looked again, and i actually could slot in the Managerial Communications one. but i see there is an essay for it. What is SOS-110 supposed to be? 

I don't need TES-100 as I already took it in Oct 2018 (my enrollment would end this year in Oct if i do not renew), and i do not see a SOS-110 on the current TECEP list:

I took Study.com Business 109: Intro to Computing, which transferred into TESU as COS-101. I looked at the TECEP page and i see that the Computer Concepts and Applications course is listed as CIS-107. I wonder if i could take that one and just use it as a gen ed elective, since it has a different code at the school?

Having things pre-planned isn't enough - policies can change, and if you haven't taken something, then how they accept it could change.  Whether you put your enrollment on hold, or take a TECEP to stay enrolled, it doesn't matter - you will still only be able to lock in courses that you've already taken.

When I said on your eval, I meant courses that were transferred in, not anything pre-planned.  That can change - ask anyone who planned a course that was later downgraded in ACE.  TESU will not lock in planned courses forever, meaning if something happens in the meantime (like ACE says the course is no longer UL), then you're out of luck.

I would not think that taking a TECEP will do anything more for you than putting your enrollment on hold.  Both keep you on your catalog (meaning requirements won't change), but neither will do anything for future courses.
