I am happy to say I graduate on 5/31 with my BS in Information Systems Studies from COSC. I so could not have done it without this forum. I was supposed to graduate in December but the capstone hung me up due to exceedingly bad curriculum and lackluster professor and almost did me in again this term. (like the professor never graded our final that was 50% of the overall class grade!)
However, I stretched myself, this is the first time in my life I have set a goal and reached it that required studying and focus. I started last August with over 120 credits and completed an additional 33 to meet all the required categories. I took 4 online classes and the Biology, A&I Literature CLEPS and the Intro to World Religions and Civil War and Reconstruction DSST's.
And I am flying myself and my entire family to the graduation because it is a momentous occasion 20 years in the making. So be encouraged and keep working, every credit counts and this can be done!
