my unofficial transcript - your profound wisdom

[schlocker]

Thank you. It is for my daughter. She will be 18 in August. She completed 24 Sophia classes and one CLEP. She also completed four RA classes at TEL/York college. She hopes to complete a total of eight RA classes by March. Then work on her remaining classes, most of which are AOS. Goal is BSBA Entrepreneurship by June 2023 at age 18. Goal is to attend a masters program somewhere in the USA after growing up in Southeast Asia and attending international schools.

I would suggest starting a new thread about this topic specifically. 

However, yes, if you don't take at least 16 credits at TESU (and these are RA credits), you have to pay the residency waiver fee. You only save money on this if you do it as part of a 16-credit-term. You can find more information and some course suggestions here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Th...#Residency

Okay, all. This is it, the moment of reckoning. I have a window of opportunity to finally finish my undergrad. I've also potentially identified an MBA program. It's been a long time coming. One obstacle after the next. Adulthood. First and foremost, undergrad completion.
I just reapplied to TESU and will be posting my most recent AE, along with the additional "other courses" at the bottom of said eval, in hopes of perhaps squeezing out another credit/class or two. I've duly noted the excellent observations and suggestions provided by the super knowledgeable here, and greatly appreciate it. I truly believe there are some individuals here whom are more well versed in degree planning than some of the actual university counselors.
My plan is to finish all remaining coursework with SDC, then corner and capstone @ TESU. I'm planning on narrowing my UL requirements to all psych and am in hopes this will provide me an emphasis in psychology. Just to make absolutely certain (for the last time), is there anything else anyone would change or do differently?
Does anyone see a different arrangement of hours to perhaps avoid a class/SH or two? I believe Rachel mentioned signing up for a medical terminology TECEP in order to become a full-fledged student, and to receive unlimited AE's. Would anyone disagree with this for any reason? I'm starting promptly but want to make a little definitive spreadsheet for ease of completion.
Again, sincere apologies for my redundancy. I just want to make absolutely certain prior to embarking.
AE screenshots to follow in next post.
Thank you so much in advance for any and all suggestions...again.

On to the eval...

Again, very sorry for so many attachments and my dissertation above...

Interesting, even though your academic evaluation shows you have 9 courses left, and 21 credits split within those 9 courses... You technically have 9 courses left as you can move your courses around to cover those extra two required Liberal Studies electives!  July 2021 and After | Courses and Schedules (tesu.edu)

Cornerstone, Capstone, Ethics, Civic Engagement, 3 UL Social Sciences from Study.com or another provider such as the ones in ACE or NCCRS, you can check the WIKI for your options.  Here are the two links I would reference.
1) Sample TESU General Education Requirements Roadmap - Degree Forum Wiki (miraheze.org)
2) Sample TESU BA Liberal Studies Degree Plan - Degree Forum Wiki (miraheze.org)

Now to 'cover' your missing credits for those two courses I mentioned earlier in your Liberal Studies Electives.  In that area, you're authorized only 6 credits that are 100 level.  You've almost maxed that out with the Spanish II taking up 5 credits.  Easy solution is to move two courses around, get an advisor to move both of your D. Scientific Knowledge into that spot!  You can then take two easy Sophia.org science courses to add the 100 level sciences back into the area!

Note: If you're taking Sophia.org Environmental Science, it's a level 200, so you just need to move 1 of your D. Scientific Knowledge into that area, and take the other science such as Biology, Chem, or something else at Study.com

Hey BJ!  Hope all is well, mate.

Did you mean even though my academic eval shows I have 9 courses left, I technically have only 7 courses left?  So maybe 2 LL, 3 UL, Cornerstone, Capstone?

D. scientific knowledge?

... and thank you, as always.

No, you need 9 or 10 courses to finish.  I just wanted to point out that there are 21 credits because one course requires 1 out of 3 credits to complete the requirement, and because they didn't officially accept your LIT-205 as it shows {} in the SH area.  To make things easier, forget my initial request to move the science over to your Liberal Studies Electives, instead of taking more science courses, you can take 'easier' non proctored/no touchstone 200 level electives from Sophia.org to finish faster!

Here's the Sophia.org equivalency page: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/So...lency_List | Work on: 1) Intro to Ethics for the Ethics requirement  2) Ancient Greek Philosophers & 3) Essentials of Managing Conflict for the Liberal Studies Electives. To be on the safe side, I would recommend doing one more course to 'back up LIT-205", you can select Conflict Resolution or Visual Communications as it'll be beneficial to learn those subjects.  You can finish in 1 month for $99 ($79 with code).

Take Civic Engagement course at Saylor or you can take the course with Study.com along with the remaining upper level options you decide to go with, just select 3 from the list in the WIKI page linked earlier.  Your final courses are the cornerstone and capstone to be done at TESU.  The Saylor/Study.com courses shouldn't take you more than a month either... I wouldn't rush though, pace yourself.

Would it be worth attempting to bargain with TESU over accepting my LIT-205?

You're saying Sophia would be faster than SDC, or just less expensive?    
I believe they both have very similar offerings.  And yes, I'm completely into non proctored courses.

The additional course you speak of to "back up" LIT-205, would be redundant If TE would accept my 205, no?
 

LL Degree completion:
       
1. Intro to Ethics - 3
2. Ancient Greek Philosophers - 3
3. Essentials of Managing Conflict - 3
4. Conflict Resolution/Visual Communications (possibly, if LIT 205 not accepted
5. SOS-110 Capstone - 3

UL
1. Psychology 310: Psychology of Personality - 3
2. Psychology 312: History and Systems of Psychology - 3
3. Psychology 302: Cognitive Psychology - 3

Sophia.org is cheap, easier, faster than Study.com for courses they have in common, they're non proctored too!  Sophia.org is great for lower level and Study.com is recommend for upper level, thus that's my Sophia.org/Study.com combo I usually recommend.  You can try getting the credit for the LIT-205, I don't know if you'll be able to appeal, but I would just go for it anyways, a short email to advisor and have it bumped up to the dean.  Last but not least, you're missing one more course in your remaining list, the UL Capstone as the SOS-110 is the Cornerstone where you incorrectly noted as the Capstone.

LL Degree completion:
5. SOS-110 Cornerstone - 3

UL Degree completion:
4. LIB-495 Capstone - 3

For whatever reason, the AE I just posted up the other day was NOT the most recent, even though it claimed to be.  Today I received my most recent AE, which is now stating I only have 93 SH out of 120.  That's 7 hours gone.  I'm going to speak with a counselor tomorrow.  Perhaps I should post up the "new" eval as well.
