TESU SOS-110

[natshar]

I'm on the 2019A plan for Computer Science. 2nd Degree, first Degree from Excelsior. And I do have additional 24+ credits.

Since you are on a second bachelors do you still have to take SOS-110? The website isn't very clear. That's interesting. You should at least e-mail advising and show them proof of a first bachelors.

They have all my transcripts and info, waiting on them to evaluate, but so far that section is saying not complete

All Gen Ed requirements should be waived (including SOS-110) once they finish the evaluation. The most recent policy update on the TESU website (from July 1st) clearly indicates that the SOS-110 requirement should be waived for second-degree bachelor's students. So you should only need 21 credits in the AOS/core plus the 3 credit capstone to complete your degree. (Plus any other degree program-specific prereq's like calculus, etc.)

SOS-110 Institutional Requirement
In order to provide students with additional tools focused on supporting student success in the critical areas of college-level reading, writing, and mathematics in support of overall student success and to develop key information literacy skills, SOS-110: Critical Information Literacy (formerly Living in the Information Age) is now an institutional requirement for all* undergraduate students at the university.

Key notes:

• All undergraduate students applying after July 1, 2019, are required to complete SOS-110 via an online course at TESU. We will no longer allow transfer/equivalencies to satisfy the requirement.
  
• After July 1, 2019, SOS-110 will be the only course TESU offers that satisfies the information literacy general education requirement.
  

*Second-degree bachelor's students are exempt from this requirement.
