I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this).  Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

How are you doing on upper level credits for your area of study?

My adviser asked for course descriptions for several classes. Currently I have 3 upper level credits with another nine under review. I am going to take four DSST exams to try to knock them out early next week. On day one I will take Organizational Behavior & Fundamentals of Counseling. Day two will be Substance Abuse & World Religions. I am also almost finished with Straighterline's Business Communication. It will be a busy 8-9 days!

I guess it has been a busy 8-9 days. Hopefully those other classes will change after TESC reviews them. But its better to be safe then sorry. Good luck on your tests. Let us know how they go. You are almost there. Smile

I received my final evaluation and am in a good place. I need two DSST exams and to finish my Straighterline Business Communication class. I am cutting it close but should be able to make it. A big thank you to everyone on this forum! I could not have gotten this far without the information I found here.

It looks great. Wow you have done a really great job. Now what two DSST tests do you still need to take?

Congrats

Congratulations on your strong work!!! I'm so happy TESC worked out for you; it looks as though you were able to use the majority of your existing credits.

Good luck tomorrow!
