Finally a TESC grad

[michaelfrye1970]

"Congradulations! Your academic record has been certified for the September 12, 2014"

Finally recieved my confirmation, was a little worried I was going to be moved to December, but either way I am done.
I could not have finished this journey without this Forum. I would have never known about Straighterline, Aleks, Saylor or FEMA(even though we cant use them anymore). I started down this path in 2008 and had a lot of starts and stops along the way. So a big Thank You to everyone on this forum, and I do mean everyone because every question that someone else asked or answered has helped me.

Awesome News, CONGRATULATIONS!!! :hurray:cheersmate,

May I ask why you took the BSAST capstone, are you planning on a second bachelor's?

[michaelfrye1970]

bricabrac,
I had considered a Technical Studies Degree at one point so I took that. it wasn't that bad of course.

[alleycat]

Congrats! Wow, it must feel so good to be done? It's a lot of hard work and planning but you did it. Congrats again!

[topdog98]

Congratulations!

[Hunter91]

Awesome job! Congratulations! Did you choose the enrolled options tuition plan?

[bricabrac]

Oh, I see... Well, I'm sure it was a great experience! I read the course description, it seemed quite interesting as well as a very nice addition on your transcript.

Separately, also wanted to mention I admire your choice to use quite a bit of traditional coursework for your degree. I actually prefer a more hybrid approach to education.

Wait until you receive the diploma, very nice presentation of parchment!

Congratulations!

Congratulations!! well done! cheersmate
May I ask where TESC put your AMU "Foundations of Online Learning" class??
Was it worth anything??

[michaelfrye1970]

The "online learning" was originally under my free credits for 3cr but my "Current Trends" course bumped it off.
