#1
I am enrolled in TESC.. i need to take one upper level course to graduate. But my enrollment expires the 14th. I am majoring in Liberal Arts ( so can't be business credit)

What course should i take, to get in by the 14th??
I have heard Dants take 3 to 4 weeks.
Clep dont have upper level courses.
Looking into ECE..

What course would you recommend that takes less than 2 weeks to arrive @ tesc???

How about Org Behavior? That is upper level. Business Communication on Straighterline can be done pretty quickly also. That is upper level. You can also pay for an extension if need be.

Dantes can take 7-10 days to arrive at the college. You could take the Dantes Fundamentals of Counseling exam with 3-5 days study. Actually any one of the 300 level dantes exams in which you have the most subject knowledge. The same day you take the exam and pass, what you do is fax over your graduation application noting in section three the transcript and course that is outstanding. They can begin processing your file (bursar) but it will be held for audit until the transcript arrives and is posted. It can take as little as 2 days to officially post when you are in the graduation queue.

Another option would be SL business communications. If you apply yourself you can get it done within a 1-1.5 weeks (allow 3 days time for submitted papers to be graded). Once you receive the final grade, request transcipt sent to TESC. Then submit grad app as above.

Here. Courses and tests in red are upper level credit.

Wow, looks like some free FEMA classes are upper level credit too. Not sure if that is only upper level for an EM degree path or if you can have "upper level free electives".

If someone finds out I would love to know this.

You can also try and ECE as they usually get the grade the same day or next day from Pearson Vue, then they can send out the transcript. You can order it rush which is around $30, but I think they ship it within 2 days. They are in Albany NY so the trip to NJ should only take 2 days. Good luck!

If history is bad for you, what about Principles of Management or Marketing? Both count as UL. So do Organizationl Behavior, Human Resource Management, Principles of Finance, Money & Banking & Substance Abuse. Intro. to World Religions DSST is a good one also.

Thanks John, but most are business courses. I am majoring in Liberal Arts ( business courses not allowed- learned that hard way) Smile I think World Religions is def the course I'm gonna take. I'm just worried about if the transcript gonna get to TESC on time.
