All the needed credits, just need the degree!

Awesome, thanks for the input, I hadn't heard of some of the online course options available. I'm scheduled to talk to my advisor early next week, just wanted to see what my options were.

Thanks again!

  I have all the credits I need to graduate with a Bachelor of Music from my local university.  

Then talk to them and get it that degree. Seems way easier than starting over at new school. Explain everything. Ask about options for transferring credit.

This should be your best bet at getting the degree FASTEST.  I mean, think about the cost the TESU residency waiver in addition to the two courses (capstone/cornerstone).

Yeah I agree. I think OP should stick with their local school. Even if you end up taking 6 credits in residence at that school might cheaper and quicker than TESU.

And we don't know if all their credits would align for a TESU degree, they might need more than just capstone/cornerstone depending on the courses they have done.

My advice it stick with your original school. Find a way to get the final 6 credits. If they allow those final 6 credits to be transferred try CLEP or DSST. Or ASU, ONU or Tel-Learning these are self-paced courses that show up on a college transcript. Or consider taking a TECEP at TESU in a subject you know a lot about, one test and you are done.

ASU: https://ea.asu.edu/

ONU: https://online.olivet.edu/yourway

Tel Learning: https://www.tellearning.org/

These show up as actual college credit not like ACE so very good chance it will be accepted.

Not possible from what I understand . You would need to take 30 credits with TESU

What? No you do NOT have to take 30 credits with TESU. Are you confusing their RA credit requirement?

May I ask what ONU is?  And I assume ASU is Arizona State University?  Does TECEP show up as a transfer credit?

Yeah, at first I was reading that as he had all alternative credits.  But still not possible due to timeline.

Since you've taken Sophia.org, Study.com and other ACE recommended for credit courses, you might be best served by taking the science courses that you haven't taken elsewhere. For example, if you can finish BIO101L and CHEM101L, you have two science courses for $300 ($200/month, $50 for each virtual lab at Labster) and be done with your local institution. You can finish them in just under 1 month!

ASU ULC is launching their new online Biology 4cr w/lab next week. It's an option if RA credit is desired. I'll be attempting the course. https://ea.asu.edu/courses/the-living-world-bio-100/

ONU is Olivet Nazarene University. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Ol...University

Long story short my university notified me just days before graduation that they mistakenly promised to accept the Study.com credits and that I would be 6 credits short.  They suggested I CLEP the courses but I already took them once and one would have to be a science CLEP which are all 6 credit exams and take a while to prepare for. I would like to just transfer them to TESU, take the capstone and the other required course.

A lot of people fall through the cracks when universities decide to change the rules and move the goalposts during the journey to a degree.

It a game that must be played though, and being able to adapt is key to winning the game. 

CLEP science/maths are the toughest CLEPS.  Modern States, Quizlets, Peterson guides are what I used to pass the CLEP tests.

That close to a degree, it seems like it would be better to finish up there if you can in 1 term.

What about UExcels? This is a list for equivalencies at TESU but it gives a good idea as to what's available/possible and the costs. https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/UE...es_at_TESU Someone recently took World Population and was able to pass (with a C) after essentially 0 study. https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...est-Review They are pretty widely accepted due to them being graded credits on a school transcript. But I would check with your school to make sure that they will be accepted.
