I just opened my inbox and saw:

"Congratulations! Your records have been audited and you are now a Charter Oak State College graduate!"

Thank you for everybody who helped me along the way on the forum. I couldn't have done it without you.

I never thought I would be a university graduate. I started my schooling in January of 2015 at the ripe old age of 29 and vividly remember wanting to throw in the towel before I even began. I was getting driven to Bufalo, NY to complete Micro/Marcoeconomics CLEP's and was so nervous I almost didn't sleep the night before. Thankfully I persevered (and was relentless in my pursuit) and now with this degree I can move on to the better things in life.

I had been working a dead-end job as a secuirty guard since I was 18 because I had no formal education and almost all the jobs that I could apply for had a requirement for a degree. I had resigned myself to a life of lack, but thankfully that is no longer an issue.

If a non-motivated Canadian (living in Canada) can get a degree from a US University -- ANYBODY can!

Now let's go take on the world!!!

CONGRATS to both of you and thanks for sharing! Looking forward to receiving my email in the near future too, it's nice to keep reading these awesome updates, it helps me keep my eye on the prize.

I "restarted" at 29 years old (last summer) and currently transferring to WGU, and losing half of the credits I've earned in the process. So hard to not throw in the towel.
WGU - BS Business, HR - Completed September 2017
WGU - MS, Management & Leadership - Started February 2018
