In order to graduate in March, you would have to apply by January 1st and everything would need to be here by February 1st. Otherwise it would be for the June graduation.

Yeah, that is pretty much the same as what I said, but without the allowance for any minor slips (which are situational at best).
If you don't think there is any way you can push yourself to get the work completed and submitted by Feb 1st, then yeah June is probably your best bet anyway.
But as others have said, they cannot verify your eligibility to graduate officially until the audit is complete, which is normally done about a month before graduation.
That is what I have estimated based on my current pace. Maybe I can find a way to speed thing up by 2 to 3 weeks. It will be tough. I just want to knock out the corner stone before the changes take place. I still do not know all of the details around the corner stone change and I will need to read up on the other threads. I don't think I will be impacted by it if I can maintain my current plan.
The TES-100 cornerstone is a non-issue. The only concern is that it costs $300 which isn't bad per credit, but expensive in the alt. credits world. However, the actual course is pretty simple and takes about an hour or so. It can be done at any time within the semester once you've registered for it.
The cornerstone replacement (SOS-110) doesn't kick in until July 1st, so as long as you complete TES-100 before then, you're good.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
