which free class for Oakton?

[bjcheung77]

@BB I would stick with the ASNSM Comp Science and BSBA CIS option, no need for the extra math, much cheaper, easier, faster to finish. It will get you into Business and IT as you already have the years of experience and certs. They weigh more than the degree itself... Here's a recent read, I would just get the degree as a check the box and be done with it: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...e-worth-it

In that case, Calculus I from SL is probably right up your alley. With SL, you can "pass" the class before you even take the final exam. The final exam can be just a formality that needs to be done. You can pass SL's calculus even if you only get one question right on the final exam!

THat sounds great, thank you very much

and thank you to everyone in this thread

With your certifications, I'd also check the Professional Learning Reviews (PLR) credit already completed/approved by TESU: https://www.tesu.edu/academics/oplr/plr#info-technology

Network+, for example, is equivalent to ITS-140.

I received credit for some of my certs, some TESU just doesn't give anything for (although PuG does)
I got an Information Technology Elective: ITS-140 Introduction to Networking for N+,  CYB-220 Defensive Security for Security+ CMP-202 Foundations of Information Technology for the Google IT cert, I'm still waiting to hear back from them on whether or not the Google UX, PM, or Data certs will be worth anything, ITIL, PHP3 they don't give anything for, but I thought they could be useful for pla evidence.

The problem is, even if they give credit for a cert, if it's not a requirement for your degree, then it's just a Free Elective, which is...not worthless, but not exactly something you should be basing your decision on.

I'd like to thank everyone again for their advice. 
I'm going to go for the TESU BA CS and BSBA CIS degrees Ala LevelUP. The Oakton free class enrollment deadline is in two days and I think I'm going to go with rachel83az advice to take discrete math there.
I have quite a few more credits under my belt since I last posted and I'm waiting on grades for more.
I have a rough spreadsheet of my endeavors of anyone is interested in commenting here

Discrete Math isn't hard at Study.com. It's not really math. It's logic-type stuff mostly. The "math" part is easier than entry-level algebra, and the calculator does all the work for you. All you have to do is punch in the numbers in the right spot.

Just got off the phone with a woman from the admissions office at Oakton, and she told me almost all of the sprint classes started in January, so I have long since missed my chance for the free class.

That did not seem to jive with the 4/14 enrollment deadline and she stated you needed to still be enrolled by that date and not have dropped the class by then.

Also, she advised it is a pay up front and be refunded later program.

Is this how everyone else understood this situation?

[Goldilocks!]

Yes. The late start courses started in March. Regular start of the semester was in January. The April 14th deadline is just so that you are still enrolled and haven’t dropped by the late-start midterms.
I’m in a late start class and the instructor is VERY hands-off. As in, they have not commented on any assignments or anything in the class at all.

I think the last large batch of online "late start courses" started in March, after spring break, as 8-week classes. There are two 1-credit classes that started yesterday, where you might be able to register late by asking admissions and the professors:

• ECE 283: Staff Management and Human Relations in Early Childhood Programs
  
• HIT 105: Pharmacology for Health Record Documentation

I basically blew it off and I'm just focusing on the alternative sources of credit I still need to do.
