Do you do the AA first at TESC then corresponding BS? - bricabrac - 04-27-2014

YES! See item #4 of instruction sheet (graduation form). You only need include both degrees in Section 1 of the form. The graduation fee covers the cost for awarding the degree and transcript maintenance. Including grad/kit: cap/gown, diploma(s), transcript(s), and if applicable certificate(s)/honors cord(s). It only means you will have two files audited and certified at the same time. I used the this option for my second degrees (AAS & BSBA, 9/11). Granted the AAS was a simple add on and with a few added fema courses totally free of charge; I could not let the opportunity pass. Also, it seemed processing went faster than my first two certifications (AAS 3/10 & BA 9/10) which were, of course, completed individually.

Edit to Add: If interested in two degrees, you must call in or email advising and ask for them to activate the 2yr program. (Make sure the program doesn't require a capstone, unless you don't mind an added course.) Once the second degree is activated you will see both listed under your student account.

Great info, thank you. I was already calculating two graduation fees. Smile Now that I know I can pay a single graduation fee insofar as I would be graduating from both degrees at the same time, why wouldn't I take advantage and add an AA-Gen Studies to my BSBA? :hurray:
