Thank you everyone! Walking in the graduation commencement ceremony last weekend was wonderful! Not to mention visiting New Jersey, New York City, and Philadelphia for the first time! A great, fun, but short trip!
Thank you. I am hoping to get a Masters in Architecture, which is why I am attending a B&M school on campus (architecture cannot be done online
)
Thank you. It took me four whole, long years. But it could have been done in less time, if I wasn't so slow and perfectionist.
In order to qualify, you need to take a certain number of graded courses with TESC (24 for Alpha Sigma Lambda or 12 for Sigma Beta Delta), including at least 12 in the specific area (liberal arts and sciences for Alpha Sigma Lambda or business for Sigma Beta Delta), maintain a GPA of at least 3.2 for Alpha Sigma Lambda or 3.5 for Sigma Beta Delta, and be in the top 20 percent of the graduating class. For the Arnold Fletcher Award, you must have at least 90 credits from nontraditional sources, defined as including exams, PLA, ACE, and TESC online courses (so many of us fit this criteria). The award recipients are selected from those who qualify. Sigma Beta Delta is only for students in business, while Alpha Sigma Lambda and the Arnold Fletcher Award are open to anyone in the school. TESC also has other specific honor societies and awards for nursing and graduate level degrees in education.

Hope this helps!
