My TESU application got rejected

[ajlm1984]

TESU rejected my application because I don’t have either TOEFL nor IELTS. I’m an international student and my home country’s first language is not English. I understand the requirement but neither exams (TOEFL and IELTS) can be taken now due to the Coronavirus.

The admissions office at TESU “made me an exception” to take an Accuplacer exam instead. I took it, scored high enough, and then TESU decided that this exception was not valid/approved.

While I understand the challenges this pandemic is causing but I’m kinda disappointed that the system isn’t flexible enough to deal with such changes.

What are my options besides waiting for this chaos to finish?

Where are you from? According to ETS, in certain regions some tests are going to be proctored by ProctorU.

Here is an extract from the website:

"ETS has launched an at home testing solution for the TOEFL iBT test for students who have been affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19). Monitoring of the test will be conducted using live remote proctors by ProctorU, the leading proctoring solution for online testing."

I was hoping a price discount of this test (less proctoring fees due to the online nature of the proctoring session) but sadly it's at the same price
