I agree with UptonSinclair and Cookderosa. You should be getting some graded credits under your belt to increase your GPA. Any school, including TESC is going to require a 2.0 overall to graduate. As you stated, you don't necessarily need to do all your courses at TESC. You can use your local CCs and other schools. If you are not a procrastinator and are one to get things done quick, you can use Independent Study courses also. There are many schools that do IS, but the more popular here are CSU, BYU and LSU. In addtion, many of the Red State schools also have IS courses to serve their rural populations (ie. Wyoming, OU, Tennessee). So that can be an option to get courses done quickly at your own pace and still get letter grades. But like I said, if you are a procrastinator, stay away from IS courses because they will just sit.

As far as the GI Bill, I did use it, but the way I used it is no longer allowed by the VA. I was under the MDCP and switched last minute to enrolled. VA paid my enrollment fee, tuition, and grad fees. But from what I understand, VA will no longer allow you to do the enrolled option. If you have Post 9/11, you need to be strategic the way you use it to maximize your benefit. I don't really recommend you use it for online courses because you potentially lose a ton of money in MHA (depending on the BAH in your area). Also, many federal agencies have TA benefits for civilians that you might be able to use. If you haven't already made an election, weigh your options between Montgomery and Post 9/11. Montgomery can beat the pants off of Post 9/11 in certain situations. Example, some states will pay your tuition, so you can use the Montgomery and pocket the left-over cash. Montgomery can be used to pay for tests (not worth it with 9/11). Montgomery pays a flat monthly fee if you're full time regardless if you're out of pocket.

So I just paid the few and sent all transcripts other my CCAF to TESC. I figure I won't need my CCAF for anything, but if I do I can send it later. From looking at the BSBA Finance degree requirements here's possibly what I might need.

English Comp II
Managerial Communication
Elective in Intellectual and Practical Skills (no idea what this even is)
Diversity/Global Literacy
Responsible and Ethical Leadership
Ethics or Diversity Elective
Microeconomics
Macroeconomics
Stats
Business Core
And then the 18 hours in Area of Study for Finance

This is just an estimation as I haven't got my evaluation back, but here is also of list of classes I have that will transfer with C's and above.

Comp I
Theatre Appreciation
Business Law
Management Information Systems I
Introduction to Criminal Justice - Don't even know why I took this, but hopefully it counts towards some elective or something
Business Cal I
Business Communication
Marketing Principles
Principles of Management
Human Resource Management

This also isn't all the classes I have, it just doesn't include all the Band classes I took or the Air Force ROTC glasses that received grades as I'm sure they will do me no good either as I probably have to many electives already.

Hopefully through research and some of yall's help I can find cheap and alternative to these classes so I can only take the 24 hours needed for residency through TESC. This way I can save my GI Bill and use it for the CS degree from Oregon State. I already have some insight on at least English Comp II thanks to help from rebel about the CC in New Mexico. I look forward to this journey and being able to finally check the box for having a degree.

They will demand your CCAF as well most likely....they want ALL transcripts.

[tsimmns]

Thanks Rebel, I better get on that then as the CCAF can't be sent electronically only regular mail apparently. Sucks that the Air Force Education system can't keep up with time. I am also trying to get my CCAF so I sent them the same stuff electronically and they are still processing transcripts from Feb the lady said.

SEND THE CCAF! I received credit for Managerial Communication, Human Resources, Operations Management and Free electives.

If you ever went to ALS and NCOA, that is a bunch of management credits that transfer directly into the BSBA. I believe I posted my CCAF credits on here somewhere if you want to do a search. Send it! Not only because you have to, but because it is real college credit.

[tsimmns]

Will do. I have taken the ALS CDC, but not NCOA. Heck and if that knocks out some Management classes, that's even less that I need. I do need to knock out the Speech class I guess to complete my CCAF degree. I found I can get it cheap as dirt through BYU. Has anyone of you ever taken classes through there? I read a post one time about a woman on here who's daughter completed it in under a week.

I think you might mean me (although I am not a woman). Or maybe you mean someone else. I did the speech class through BYU IS and transferred it to CCAF. Its not as cheap as it used to be, but it is still fairly cheap (about $500 for 3 cr) and I did it in a week over my vacation and received an A.

EDIT: Here is the link

https://is.byu.edu/site/courses/descript...A-150-M001

After reading the new syllabus, the course seems a little different. I only needed to do voice recordings and send them in to my instructor. This new syllabus mentions visual aids and youtube, so the course has changed slightly and probably will take longer especially if you are using visual aids.

Thanks for the information and link. I think the person I read about had a daughter complete the course, but not sure. If I remember whoever it was completed it in 3 days if I remember. Regardless, it's glad to hear this course meets the requirement for the CCAF. The AF is key on people completing this, but it's sad when we can't get transcripts processed in a timely matter.

I used credential solutions and for twenty bucks they rush delivered it.

As far as processing incoming transcripts, yeah CCAF is slowwwwwww. I finished my requirement before the cutoff and I still had to wait for the next graduating class because they couldn't process my last math DSST which got to them automatically. That's what happens when you let everyone get on facebook at work.
