Applicants and students use the degree planning tool, MyProgress, to transfer course information and allows you to plan in courses that are still needed to complete the degree requirements. MyProgress shows your degree requirements by categories of credits needed, such as General Education, Area of Study, Free Elective requirements.
MyProgress is your personalized degree map to completion! It has been personalized for you using the transfer credit you have sent to us. MyProgress outlines the requirements to earn your degree, which requirements you have already completed, and which you still need to complete. It also provides course options for the remaining requirements, focusing on TESU courses with Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC). After reviewing the information in MyProgress, contact us at (609) 777-5680 to discuss the time and cost needed to finish and how to get started. Then get ready to finish your degree!
These policies affect the placement of courses in MyProgress as well as guide your path in earning your degree. These are not all the academic policies that govern your degree progress. Students are responsible for knowing and following all academic policies.
While we have safeguards in place to ensure all transfer credit applied to your record is accurate, we encourage you to review the transfer course details also. If you see an error, you are responsible for notifying us immediately by email at registrar@tesu.edu. In the rare case of an error, we do reserve the right to remove or correct transfer credit errors, such as in sources of credit, grades, courses, or credit amounts.
Please know that the MyProgress degree program plan is not a TESU transcript. You can find information on TESU transcripts here.

Featured courses are TESU courses that you could take to fulfill your degree requirements. Most of the featured courses are also Zero Textbook Cost (ZTC) courses. These are usually not the only course we offer that would satisfy the requirement, however. MyProgress allows you to search for all TESU course options that can be used to fulfill each specific requirement.
Regardless of what courses you register for, it is always a good idea to view MyProgress after you have registered for courses. The courses you are taking should all fall into the areas of MyProgress as upcoming courses. If you register for a course and it appears in the Other Courses section of MyProgress, you should drop the course as it is not needed for your degree. If you have any question or believe a course in Other Courses should be able to be used, contact your academic advisor before the course starts.
The most common reasons for transfer credit is not used to fulfill any requirement is that:
Information Sessions are held throughout the year and provide prospective students with the opportunity to meet University staff and learn more about the admissions process, financial aid, enrolling and what it is like taking an online course.
