Looking into language teaching related degrees
#23

That Physics course can fulfill a science GenEd or at least an elective slot. If you had a ton of credit, then some of it might not fit, but with only 5 or 6 classes, I'm confident it would all find a home somewhere in your degree.

That's great to hear. Thanks for explaining this.

You can read the full grade transfer policy here: https://tesu.smartcatalogiq.com/current/...n-grading/

Also fantastic news. I was under the impression that grades lower than a flat C were pretty much ignored. It would of course be quite annoying if half of my courses (grades) were not eligible for RA, but it seems like a fair enough policy. And if google's best "conversion charts" are all seemingly in agreement (and based on reality rather than some weird conspiracy), I might be looking at all C's and up. Fingers crossed.

Uni #2 emailed me today asking for some info, so it seems like they will be able to send me my transcript without any hitches. From what I have gathered, I'll have to do some paperwork to get both institutions to make the documents official and send them along to an evaluation service. There may be another option that involves sending scanned copies (of the legalized documents) & opting for the evaluation service to contact my schools; I'm still working my way through the details involved.

One question I was having trouble investigating for myself is the following: I am assuming that foreign (I.E. Finnish) transcripts should be evaluated as well as translated by the evaluation provider, is this correct? Maybe the evaluation service is sufficient so I thought I would ask. Oh, and is there a particular reason why SpanTran may be regarded as an obvious suggestion? Just wondering if it was something general or if it had to do with TESU.

Everyone has been incredibly helpful in making all this preliminary work much less daunting, I am genuinely grateful.
