TESU no longer accepts courses based on ACE/NCCRS recommendation alone

This was posted in a separate thread by the forum admin, but I thought it needed more attention/discussion.

Just a heads up that it looks like TESU has gotten stricter recently and will NOT take our new InstantCert Credit courses for transfer. Here is what one student who tried to transfer Spanish I and College Algebra was told:

At this time TESU is no longer accepting ACE credit from new 3rd party Educational Providers such as InstantCert.com without an additional Educational Provider Review being completed.

We are still working with TESU to try to get on their Approved Educational Provider list. As soon as they give us the approval, I will post an update here.

This was hinted at earlier with this "approved educational provider list" being discovered on TESU's site (link below), but I think this is the first confirmation we've seen that TESU is using this new provider list and their own reviews instead of ACE/NCCRS

In my opinion, this new direction of TESU is drastic enough to perhaps drop the "Big 3" to a "Big 2."

Has anyone tried to transfer any of the courses to COSC or  Excelsior?

I have completed Spanish and College Algebra with InstantCertCredit and was able to transfer both courses to TESU.
They transferred as Elementary Spanish and College Algebra.

InstantCert is now a fully approved ACE credit provider at TESU.

I took Spanish and College Algebra and both transferred easily. As Elementary Spanish and College Algebra.


InstantCertCredit was awesome. Great program.
