.32 Units short at TESU

[cali86]

Ok,

I finished all my classes or so I thought I did... but I was looking over my transcript today to make sure everything was fulfilled for December graduation, but I noticed that I needed .32 units more.

 I need one additional unit in the Additional General Education Electives Area... If I take a 3 unit course through StraighterLine will this work or can I not have over the 121.33 units required to graduate on my transcript? 

I am almost done with History I course through StraighterLine will this work in this area? or does anyone have suggestions for a free course somewhere that will work for sure?

 I took upper division business ethics through StraighterLine so I do not think the free insurance ethics will work here correct?

You can certainly take a 3 unit course to fulfill that last 1/3 of a unit. History would fill the bill nicely. Lots of people graduate with TONS of extra credits, in fact, you would be unusual if you came in with exactly 120 units. It hardly ever works out that way.

Awesome thank you for confirming this. I actually have a ton of extra courses but none of them fit... these are all the extra ones I cannot use for Liberal Studies degree...

Bummer that Gender, Work & Society won't come in as a SOC course, because it would fit. Appealing it is an option, so I'd try it.

Meanwhile, since you already paid for a course, finish it and send it in, they will take it in that area.

I was thinking the same. I'd go ahead and send in an appeal as a plan B. The OP doesn't have any time to spare if they're going to make Dec graduation.

Sociology.  If you appeal the calling it a MAN (management) course, and ask them to consider it Sociology, and include the syllabus or course catalog page showing it's not a management course, you might win.  ESPECIALLY because TESU has a course called Sociology of Work, SOC-362!!!

I tried super hard as a fun task to make this happen and ended up over by 12 credits - My first StraighterLine course, Medical Terminology 3 Credits, two free courses, Intro Fire Safety Education 1 Credit & Issues in Ethics 2 Credits and ALEKS, Principles of Statistics 3 Credits, Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences 3 Credits (these are duplicate credits to Intro to Stats or any Stats at TESU). I only really claim the StraighterLine course, because a free course is, well, free and the Stat courses were free because I only had ALEKS for a month/$20 and knocked out all 3 Stats courses + Pre Algebra/College Algebra/Pre Calc. Funny thing, looking back, I thought I really scored at ALEKS (my first ever college course credits) with 6 courses/18 credits/for $20. It was still worth the effort because it gave me an idea of how fast someone could knock out credits if they put their mind to it.

I think this is a fair shot and highly recommend you do it! I didn't notice that the naming of the course was the same until dfrecore mentioned it. If the syllabus does pretty much align with it, you've got 3 credits there with the appeal. If all else fails, find an interesting Saylor course - Environmental Ethics was a fun one and pretty easy I would say.

Thanks, I ended up finishing the history I course and a bunch of others so I wouldn't have to find out last minute I was a class short... I am currently waiting for English comp II grade to post I only need 28 points to pass it because I did so well on the quizzes and finals. I originally only submitted 2 papers but no one ended up grading it due to waiting for the last one... Customer service said I had to call to let them know to grade it as is but by then I had third one done thinking that this was the case. I am sitting here so stressed out hoping this grade hits in time. This is the only one left that has to be added to ACE and transferred over to complete my degree in December...
