After about a month of waiting, I just got my academic evaluation back from TESU. For background: I completed a bachelor's degree at a Canadian institution (not Canadian, just went there for college) and am pursuing the BACS as a second-degree student. I paid $200 for a WES eval that says in big letters at the top "US EQUIVALENCY SUMMARY: Bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution".
My evaluation does not have the general education requirements waived. I have this text toward the bottom of my evaluation:
I'm bummed, I'm peeved, I'm frustrated. This will cost me an extra $1500 for the information literacy course, and require adjusting my degree plan yet again, plus signing up for Sophia again to take ethics and oral presentation courses. I just cancelled!
Is this standard? Is it worth emailing an advisor about this?
My evaluation does not have the general education requirements waived. I have this text toward the bottom of my evaluation:
Quote:Based on University policy, all general education requirements, other than those considered specific degree requirements will be considered satisfied based on the completion of a first bachelor's degree from a regionally-accredited US institution. Your evaluation will show only those general education requirements that must be completed as part of your degree program.
Our records indicate that you earned a Baccalaureate degree in Political Science on February 1, 2020 from a Foreign Institution.
