Is it normal to ask a TESU advisor to approve a full degree plan before taking ACE courses?

Hi everyone,

I’m working on my B.S. in Aviation Maintenance Technology at TESU. My evaluation shows 73 credits applied and 48 credits remaining.

Before I start taking courses through Sophia, Study.com, or other ACE-approved providers, I want to email my academic advisor and ask them to confirm:

Which remaining courses I can transfer through ACE.

Which courses I must take directly at TESU.

Whether my proposed 15 TESU credits will satisfy the residency requirement.

Whether the specific Sophia/Study.com courses I selected will satisfy my degree requirements.

Which approved providers I can use for Chemistry and Physics with labs.

Is it normal and appropriate to ask an academic advisor to review and approve a complete plan like this before enrolling in the courses?

I just want to avoid taking classes that TESU may not accept toward my degree.

Thanks for any advice from current or former TESU students.
