Beginning Advice

[jcooke]

I have lurked on this site for quite sometime now. Found it via Reddit. Hopefully I am posting this in the correct spot. 

After years of on and off again learning with no degree, I took the plunge today.
 
First goal is to achieve the TESU ASBA (via open course) and move forward from there within TESU for my bachelors degree. I have mapped out my plan of action thanks to all the information found on this forum.

Today I purchased the year of Sophia to receive all the core requirements I can receive there before heading off to finish up at Saylor. 
After receiving a good amount of cores I will apply at TESU or should I apply with TESU first? 

I appreciate any and all insight.

Great job! Sophia is an excellent place to start and knock out all of those gen eds.
At this point in the year, I think you have some wiggle room. You can still apply up until June 2021 and be on this year’s academic catalog.
If you want to be able to play around with different degree options, you can go ahead and apply. You can also begin sending your transcripts once you apply, so you can ask an advisor questions and tell them your plans. But it is certainly not necessary at this point, just your preference.
