Age waiver denied from TESU. Policy changed Jan. 1, 2018

EC has no age restriction and COSC says 16 yrs.  I am leaning toward COSC for no good reason other than it seems to have better feedback in posts I read.  She will be 16 in Oct., so I would be comfortable using their current requirements & holding my breath and proceeding in faith.  I had gotten so adept at navigating TESU's requirements and equivalents, but now my head is just spinning.  I have a spreadsheet that shows what she has so far when plugged into TESU's requirements.  Would that help?  Or if you can you point me to where I can find what is required at each school, I could rework my spreadsheet? 

Jennifer Cook DeRosa tells me that you are a gem.  What do you need from me to put together a degree path so we can keep plugging along?  I would be ever so grateful for whatever help you can give. 

Honestly, I just don't know COSC as well as TESU, so you can't count on me for much help there.  I do have a degree plan that you can use though, if that will get you started. But for instance, I can't tell you that XXX course will count in the Concentration.  I just don't know the school well enough to guide you.  But, I think the spreadsheet will give you a good start.

The thing to remember about COSC (and EC) is that you can't apply and be considered an enrolled student like TESU.  You have to enroll, and then start paying per-term fees.  Since you don't want to do that until you're ready to go, you have to get all 114 credits before you enroll (or at least, get most of them, and then enroll in the cornerstone and get the help from them to map out your courses.  But, with your daughter's age, there is time if you make a mistake, to correct it and take another course or two, so it's not like you'd need to panic.

Also, with COSC it's possible to "double-dip" meaning a single course can meet multiple requirements.  So the Business Stats course that's required for the business degree will also meet the Knowledge Area Requirements in Math.  World Religions will count for both Non-US History and Global Understanding.  Either of the Econ courses will count as Social/Behavioral Sciences, and meets the business prereq.  You can only count each course for 3 credits, but they will meet 2+ areas.  You will also need a lab science course; Study.com now has Bio I with lab, and it's a virtual lab which sounds a lot better than the SL labs.

Anyway, hopefully this gets you off to a good start, and someone who knows COSC better than I do will chime in once you've put all your courses into their respective slots.

Thank you for this spread sheet.  Very helpful.  We definitely lost ground with this shift.  (9 credits lost w/ lit downgrades.)  And the lab science requirement...BOO!  Glad to know now though.  Yep, she will end up having taken unnecessary classes.  Oh well... 

I am attaching what I have plugged in so far.  If you can see any glaring errors, I would appreciate it.  I am concerned about the UL requirement.  Do I have that right? 

I am waiting to be contacted by a rep from COSC to nail down the Gen Business requirements better.  There just is not much on their website for this.  Thank you again.
