From a quick look at your credits it seems like you have everything you need for an associate degree, although I still think you could make it work at AMU. Last month I changed my program there even though my situation didn't go along with their standard policies. I'll bet if you talked to the right person you could make this degree happen and save yourself a couple grand. I'd say make a phone appt but that's nearly impossible while deployed, and I see the difficulties of even doing a SL lab overseas. Only you know what would best work in your situation, but to answer your question, yes it looks like you've met the tesc associate requirements.

I talked with AMU today on the phone actually about roughly 2 hours ago and the woman told me only 1 degree can be pursued at one time, and only up to 45 credits towards an AA/AS can be applied at AMU, so i'd have to take 15 credits with AMU to get this Gen Ed AA degree.

TESC seems like what i'll do.

What steps do I need to take at this point? Apply to TESC online? then I guess send my AMU transcript to TESC? Or do I have to pay 30 bucks to send my DSST/CLEP transcripts? Will TESC Accept my CLEPS/DSSTs straight off my AMU transcript?


Also, does this AA general ed degree at TESC require any Science w/ Lab credits? Cause remember thats what I'm lacking.

Makes sense, unfortunately... Yes just apply to tesc online and send your transcripts. As far as I know you'll need to send the CLEP/DSST separate from the AMU transcript. And yes you can graduate without a lab science.

awww...seriously? I was hoping since I already sent CLEP/DSST transcripts to AMU and the credits were transcribed onto my AMU transcript they would simply accept that, I'd rather not pay again.

Might want to ask that question as a separate thread, or someone else can pipe in...I'm not 100% positive.

Anyone have a COSC equivalency chart handy?

BTW, TESC Emailed back, they want transcripts from each agency, Clep..Dsst, and Fema. Bleh.

They are all going to want your credits sent directly from the sources.

If you have credits from CLEP, DSST, and AMU, you will have to send in transcripts from CLEP, DSST, and AMU to every school you apply to. They have to have original documents.

You may want to consider the AAS in Applied Computer Studies or the AAS in Environmental, Safety and Security Technologies at TESC. You would probably just need free FEMA credits for the AAS in ESST. Once you apply, pay the $75, get accepted and TESC gets all of your transcripts you get access to this nifty web tool that allows you to run your credits through any of the associate or bachelor degree programs they have.

Just re-read your post and I missed all your IT certs. Have you checked out Western Governor's University? They have IT degrees that are essentially certificate courses, e.g. you take the class and it ends with you taking the cert test. If you already have the cert you don't have to take the class, you just get the credit. You may be significantly farther ahead going that route. Worth checking out at least.
