Quarter Hour, Semester Hour Debacle...PLEASE HELP ME.
#1
I had a feeling this was gonna come back and bite me in the butt. This is my dilemma.

I planned on taking CLEPS & DSSTS that are required to earn both my AA & BA degrees respectively. I can earn 87 credits by using CLEPS & DSSTS. The other 33 credits I need (120 total @ TESC) need to be either done through actual classes or TECEPS. If I take actual classes then I'll need 9 classes (3 credits * 9 classes=27 credits)

I am majoring in Communications and there is only one communications course available through TECEP. So if I take that that will leave me with 8 classes to take.

I had planned on taking the actual classes that I need at my local community college because it's right down the street from my house and it's only $43.50 per credit hour because I live in the county. The only problem is that my local cc is on the quarter hour system. Based on the conversion rate, if I take 8 classes for 3 credit hours a piece that will leave me with 24 credit hours but only 16 semester hours(I need 27 for transfer to TESC). Which would leave me still 11 semester hours short to satisfy my core requirements at TESC.

I really wanted to take actual classes because I'm a little nervous about taking classes online because I've never taken a course online before. But I guess if I have to bite the bullet I will but damn!!!!

I need some advice. Would it be better to still go ahead and take the 8 classes at the local cc and take the remaining 11 semester hours someplace else...or just take the whole 27 credits at TESC online or at another institution?

I was all geared up to start taking classes at the cc in September but it looks like that will probably be a no go. I guess I just assumed that TESC will just take the credits as is and just transfer them in as they are without the conversion.

HELP ME PLEASE!!! I'm starting to get ticked offhilarious

***Why does everything pertaining to me have to be so damn complicated***!!!
