Be careful about your wording or they will charge you for the replacement. Seems there were some big errors made at the time you graduated. I would think the graduation team would check all diplomas upon receipt. You may want to scan or take a pic of your diploma and attach to the email regarding your missing award.
Good luck to you!

This might be a silly question, but from the way I'm reading the requirements, is this 90 non-traditional period, whether applied to degree or not? That doesn't seem right, but it's what I'm getting from it...

From the TESC website
The Arnold Fletcher Award recognizes Thomas Edison State College bachelor’s degree graduates for achieving excellence in nontraditional learning. Award recipients are selected from each graduating class. The following areas are examples of appropriate nontraditional learning modes:
- Credit for courses taught
- Thomas Edison State College Courses (online, Guided Study and e-PackÂ)
- Licenses/Certificates/Registries
- Military training evaluated by the American Council on Education (ACE)
- ACE
- Prior learning assessment (PLA)
- Testing programs
Students selected for the award are required to have earned a minimum total of 90 credits from nontraditional learning
I think the problem was your military training was not evaluated by ACE. Again the award mostly means you didn't bring in many B&M credits. I guess they consider any CC credits as B&M.

Yeah, I'm thinking that might be why also. What's odd is that TESC courses are considered "non-traditional", but courses taking at an Air Force Tech School and military leadership school are?

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
