Yeah most schools you can't do the capstone until all/most of your degree is done. So you will have to wait on that. I'd consider doing both the capstone and cornerstone at the same time. The cornerstone is not meant to be a difficult course it would be doable. Also I'm pretty sure there is a 1 credit course super easy (self-paced?) that you have to take at EC for info lit as well.
So bottom line, i'd just focus on getting the rest of your degree done before doing capstone/cornerstone.
If you are getting financial aid for your cheapest option might be taking 13 credits at EC. Especially since you already must take 7, just add 6 more credits. The only thing is in order to get aid, I don't know if you can take only 3 credits at a time. And if you can the money wouldn't be very much. So it might be more sense to take 6 credits at a time. So you'd probably have to do 2 terms with 6 credits each term. And if the the 1 credit self-paced course is still required then just throw that in to any semester. But I heard it can be completed in a few days or less. So just something to think about doing 13 credits at EC. I'd look into that option.
