When you are enrolled correctly, it shows that all GE including the Cornerstone, and all Free Electives, as WAIVED. So if you were just enrolled as a regular student getting a bachelor's degree, then it would show that you need the Cornerstone.
Yes. After I sent in my transcript from my first degree last month, I actually contacted the registrar and the advisor, so they updated the evaluation to a second degree template, and it showed that all the requirements were waived except for the Area of Study (AOS). Well, I felt like the one who advised me that I must take the SOS-110 course may not have fully read my emails. I've mentioned in all my emails that I'm currently pursuing a second degree and have already obtained a degree in psychology from another university.
I believe that if any of you were asked whether I need to take SOS-110 with my existing degree from another institution, the answer would be a clear "no". It's confusing to me how this oversight happened.
It sounds like the advisor wasn't looking at your degree. Par for the course at TESU.

Reminds me of the old Todd Siben days, he gave out such bad information to alt credit students, it seemed like he was doing it as a personal vendetta against us. Marc Singer usually had to come in and clean up his messes.
