Advice need PLEASE

[debraecm]

I'm trying to complete my AAS degree in AAS in Environmental, Safety & Security while pursing my BA-CJ at TESC. I am 9 credits short for the AAS. Iwas told that only 12 FEMA credits can be used toward this degree. This will leave me 3 credits short. My question is what can I use from my transcript for the 3 additional credits I need? Note that I have 3 additional FEMA credits that will be applied shortly. Thank you for your time.

Please review my transcript below.

I'm confused by your transcript. It looks to me like you have everything done- where are you missing credits?

[alleycat]

I'm confused also to what is missing.

[debraecm]

I'm confused by your transcript. It looks to me like you have everything done- where are you missing credits?

I have six more FEMA credits coming in. However they said I can only use 3 of the six because of the 12 credit maximum. That would leave me 3 credits short. I was hoping I could use one of the courses I had already completed.

One person told me I would have to take a class at TESC. I know this is not true. I just want to use what I have already toward the AAS degree. Thank you all for the replies. I am clueless when it comes to this school. It has been a challenge.

[perrik]

Okay, it took a lot of befuddled staring at the screen, but I see what's missing. You're required to have 21 credits in the career track, have 12 completed plus 6 more FEMA credits on the way, and need 3 more credits in the career track.

The TESC website is distinctly unhelpful about what kind of courses/exams meet the career track requirements for any of the AAS degrees.

Just from the course titles in your "other courses" list, I don't see anything that would clearly fit into the EES career track. What courses were you planning to take to fulfill your Criminal Justice major? I'd think one of those would work, especially the required public policy course, and you do have to take it anyway.

If you want to get the AAS conferred ASAP, perhaps the DSST Environment and Humanity (aka Race to Save the Planet) or DSST Intro to Criminal Justice would be accepted? You could knock either one of those off with a little study.

Thanks a bunch! I will be taking the DSST Intro to Criminal Justice. I just needed some direction.
