DSST not upper level

Yeah, some people take classes without verifying here first. Can't help that. But, just as an example, advising told me that I would need 0 overlapping courses in order to get both the BSBA CIS and the BA CS. This is just not true.

I have also had problems when trying to find out where a given class would fit in my degree plan. I asked about a math class and was told "I don't see why you'd need another math class." But I have the ASNSM Math on my plan. And it's not full of math credits yet.

If you're one of the lucky ones who has had no issues that's great. But your results are not typical and I probably would have given up if I were trying to do this alone and without the forum.

Sometimes there are no answers as was the case when I took Principles of Finance from Sophia.  The course at the time was brand new and nobody on DF had transferred it into TESU yet.  The free trial from Sophia was ending so I took a risk by taking the course and it worked out.  Sometimes people have to be the Guinea Pig and go first

This was not an advising issue - this was a Registrar issue.  Once the registrar brings in a course on someone's eval, and that person reports back here, we have some good information we can pass along to everyone.  Again - this is NOT an advisor helping you.  The advisor would have said "that course doesn't come in" or "we don't know what that course comes in as." Because until it goes through the registrar, the advisors know as little as we do.
