TESC policy change requiring 300/400 for UL?

[cookderosa]

Thank you Jenifer,
I applied to TESC in June and got my evaluation in July and by that time, 200 level courses were accepted for upper level but I now late to apply 10 credits of Organic Chemistry/w lab. I wish TESC had given some kind of warning before changing its policy. Oh well! Now I have to look for upper level online science/math courses. Do you know any school offer BIO or CHEM with affordable tuition?
Thanks again.

Yes, however, you NEED TO BE ENROLLED before you register for any "upper level" classes on your own. As you found out, they change things. Had you enrolled, those 200 levels would all be upper level now and this would be a non-issue. There are lots of independent study upper level sciences if you meet the prereqs and are not picky- BUT, without being enrolled, you could end up with TESC evaluating the credit at 200 and then you'd be screwed. I only caution you because I took a 200 level soc class that tesc evaluated as 199 lol. At the time, that was to be part of my major and ended up being a total waste....so, say you take a BIO399 class from somewhere- TESC can decide to bring that in as BIO299. On the other hand, if you are enrolled, TESC will approve your class choices in advance, and then you are good to go.
If you don't mind, I'd like to shed a tear for you, 10 credits in organic chem with lab must have been an insane class. From what I hear, that's the class that sorts out the pre-med drop outs from pre-med completers.
