New accountability and progress thread!
#1
Exclamation 
Hello World!  Today is the Big Day!  My accountability and progress thread (renewed and revamped)! 
I just paid the LIB-495 Capstone Course and the Residency Waiver fee, time to get it done and over with!

With the Study.com affiliate pricing, it came down to $1098 and $1800 respectively.
LIB 495 August 2018 Capstone Fee: $1,129.29
Residency Wavier (for 1 year?) Fee: $1,851.30
The fees included a PayPath service fee for using a Credit Card.

I will be updating this thread each time I finish a course, until I finish my Capstone and the NMJC Biology II+Lab course.
I expect to have these all completed by the End of this Year and will graduate sometime in March 2019.
Goals: TESU BSBA GM (Added CIS) and BA Computer Science
BSBA GM - Added CIS AOS (CIS & GM completed)
BACS & Grad Plans (BACS instead of BALS w/NSM)

AAS ACS & ESST: Remaining - Associate Capstone
ASNSM CS: Completed, ASNSM Math: Remaining - Calculus I

Taking a majority of credits at Sophia.org, SL, and Study.com to finish these degrees
Updating my courses remaining by following forum advice, guide, spreadsheet & wiki

Exciting times! Yes, the residency waiver is good for a year. You need to graduate by next June at the latest, but it sounds like you have it under control.

As you may already know from reading my signature, I am currently studying online at Thomas Edison State University in Trenton, New Jersey, USA for two degrees.  I am taking courses towards a BSBA General Management & Computer Information Systems degree (GM complete, working on CIS Area of Study), and also a BALS with a concentration in Natural Science & Mathematics (CIS & Computer Science upper-level electives).     

Basically, I am very excited to be almost complete with my undergraduate studies, I can pick up two Associates in Natural Science & Math on route to getting my Bachelors of Liberal Arts with a Natural Science & Math concentration - without taking any extra courses in either concentration!  I planned the courses perfectly and those courses completely fit into my Bachelors.
   
After my studies are complete at TESU, I plan on completing a Master's of Science in Management & Leadership, plus an MBA in Information Technology Management at WGU Washington State (Western Governors University) because the MSML and MBA ITM have 5 or 6 overlapping courses.  The MSML is geared towards Non-Profit Organizations whereas the MBA is geared towards Businesses or Corporations.
