I may just do that! That would be awesome! Thank you for advising me Davewill
I am so stressed I feel like I am meeting myself coming and going. I don't think out of the box anymore. I need everything spoon fed to me, like a checklist for a kid.

All this other stuff aside, you don't know me, but I am truly sorry about what you and your Mom are going through. I won't try to give you an uplifting speech or platitudes, just know that I truly empathize with your situation.
Thank you. I appreciate that! It's been particularly hard (not that it wouldn't be anyway) because my oldest daughter was killed not too long ago, also. So it's a one-two punch for me.
No, I'm not cursed (though it looks that way). Life happens and we gotta roll with it! I am on a mission! for both of them <3

At traditional schools, students walk at graduation without knowing if they passed their finals or not. I would think TESU would let you walk.

I took it with Steve Ryan. He was very responsive to those students who needed more contact, and let you do your own thing if you were comfortable. Gave a solid paragraph of feedback each assignment, even if you got an A on it just so you knew how things were going and what to think about it.

His paragraphs were boilerplate. I know this because he sent me the wrong one. It doesn't matter. He let me do what I wanted, which was to spend as little time as possible on this time waster, and get my 98% A on the way out. So I recommend Steve Ryan too.

Maybe just a copy/paste error? It was obvious he read my submissions by the remarks.

In going through a lot of threads it sounds like Wiley, Ryan and Cody are highly recommended. There are a few others too but those were the three I had at the top of my list when I went to register.

Here's me spoonfeeding you: apply for September graduation.
I was enrolled in a June capstone last year. As if that wasn't cutting it close enough, I had some personal issues that got me off schedule and I finished late, had to get an extension. I was stressed and depressed. But I managed to pull myself together and make sure I was on top of everything/everyone in case I could actually pull off a September graduation. I let the graduation certification department know about the extension before they sent around their email saying I hadn't met the requirements. To my surprise, they told me to stay in touch with them and that they would re-audit me. My final capstone paper was graded on August 17, 2016. I kept refreshing my computer like a crazy person, waiting for my final grade to be updated. When my grade was posted, I informed the graduation certification department right away. I was certified for graduation on August 18, 2016. I'm not suggesting you try this at home, as this situation was beyond my control, but my experience was a true testament to how well things can sometimes work out and the way that the folks at TESU will work with you, especially if you stay on top of everything, even if you feel like you can't hold it together.

Something doesn't line up here. The June term doesn't end until Aug 27. The last week is finals week so the earliest you could normally turn the final paper in would be Aug 21. Could you have been in the May term? Then everything lines up with the term ending late July and the extension carrying you into mid August.

I just checked. You're right! I was enrolled in the May capstone.
