Yes, definitely appeal anything on your academic evaluation that doesn't work out the way you expected or wanted to. Worst case scenario, you get told no and wasted 15 minutes writing an email. Best case scenario, you save lots of time and money by not having to take another course.
To make an appeal, simply write an email to enrolled@tesu.edu with the title "Appeal of Academic Evaluation". Write a concise summary of the credits and/or requirements you are appealing, what they were evaluated as, what you think they should be evaluated as, and why. Attach any supporting documentation, such as course syllabi, descriptions, or outlines. Be sure to include you TESU student ID, email, and legal name.
Expect a reply in a week or two. Note that you only have thirty days to make an appeal after an evaluation is finished.
Just today I prevailed in an important appeal. The ASU UL CIS-194 operating systems course came in as CIS-199 special topics. I specifically needed ITS-1600 Fundamentals of Modern Operating Systems for the BSIT operating systems requirement. I sent in an appeal last week with the ASU course flyer and syllabus. Today TESU responded granting my appeal, updating the equivalency and allowing the course to fill the BSIT requirement.
This example also demonstrates why you want to retain documents such as the syllabus for every class, course, or credit- you might need it for an appeal later.
