I'm pretty upset I didn't get an email about this from TESU. I feel like I've had the rug pulled out from under me.
It was a lowball move that TESU did.
You can waste time dwelling on it going through the 5 stages of grief or move on.
There's no reason to be rude to me. I asked a simple question and expressed disappointment.
In the past, TESU told people about things like this in advance - so they'd maybe make a decision that was going to go into effect on March 31, and tell you on January 1 what the deal was. It only applied to ENROLLED students, which is why we tell everyone who wants to get a degree at TESU to enroll right away.
Anyway, this is only from one advisor, hopefully they are wrong and TESU will give everyone some time to complete these courses.
In the meantime, you do have 12 days remaining to complete these courses, so my advice is to do at least 1 of them if not all 3. It sucks, but it's all you can do.
The main issue you may come across with Discrete Math is that many schools won't allow you to take it without having taken other math courses first. And they may not count any ACE/NCCRS credit you have. So if you had calculus done via Study.com or SL, the school isn't going to let you take it. So that might be one you want to do.
COMPSCI 306: Computer Architecture is another good option to take because it's UL, and those are harder to find inexpensively.
The last thing to keep in mind is that you can always do a 16cr term at TESU and get those remaining courses done that way. You can even study ahead of time, so that the course will be easier to do (I'm thinking of taking Study.com's Discrete Math course first, not for credit, and then taking Discrete Math at TESU). That kind of thing is totally doable.
Thank you for the advice. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately, with my current work schedule I won't be able to speed anything up. I'll just have to reevaluate and see if TESU is still the best option for me. I'm working on a career transition, but my timeline is a lot slower than most people here, but I'm slowly getting there.
