RE: English Comp 102 advice needed - bjcheung77 - 06-14-2021
@dfrecore, thanks for such an informative reply post #16 - I don't think I would be able to add much to it. I love those thought out options...it's going to be somewhat hard to go with TESU if the veteran options aren't in Odie313's favor, hopefully he gets his 2017 catalog and vets get some discounts...
Anyways, as I mentioned in my post #8, I'm just trying to add my point of view, to give other options to the original poster just in case they may want it. So I am not sure why you're replying back to me or quoting me, mentioning your choice is cheaper and it's self paced. I'm not looking for an English class, the OP is, are you trying to play a game or something? I'm just not getting it...it's not April 1st, so I am just confused.
How has your posts helped me by quoting me? I am not looking for assistance... and I am really not in the mood to play "which DF member recommendation" is better/cheaper/easier". I thank you though if there is anything you wanted to let me know, I could keep it in my records of those options for others looking at them. But at the time being, I don't think I need assistance with this...
@odie313, To go back and answer your first question again, more thoughtfully: There are several English II options that would work, you have more options now as you already have over 30 credits RA, you don't really need a self-paced, cheap course from a community college and other options I recommended earlier, you can take ACE. I didn't get a reply to that question but noticed you can take them through Sophia.org or StraighterLine, it's $79/month at Sophia.org and you can take more courses if you decide to, thus being your cheapest/easiest/fastest option! Yes, it's non-proctored and lots of writing assignments that are graded.
Note: If you do decide on TESU, you can review the options provided to you by everyone and select whichever is suited to you most, don't rush in deciding, see what options you like most. If you decide on UMPI as TESU might not give you a favorable reply, then UMPI has English II for you, you can bypass ALL recommendations above!

Got a response from TESU:
I hope this email finds you well. We waive the application fee for all of our Veterans however the military rate is for all of our active duty students, military spouses, reserves, and DOD civilians.
RE: English Comp 102 advice needed - rachel83az - 06-15-2021
Well, that sucks. In that case, I suppose UMPI would probably be a much cheaper and probably easier option than finishing at TESU.

Is that all you asked for and what their response is? Hmm, interesting. You'll have to decide on the degree and school you want to continue with.

I agree that UMPI will be far cheaper than TESU. You could find out ahead of time if any of these Study.com courses can be used to lower the costs a bit for the Mgmt/Ldrshp concentration:
Any physical science course (AST 101: Intro to Astronomy, ENS 101: Environment & Humanity, ESCI 101: Earth Science, ESCI 104: Intro to Meteorology, GEOL 101: Physical Geology, etc.)
INTERMEDIATE BUSINESS COMPUTING - BUS 104: Information Systems & Computer Applications
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS - BUS 303: Management Info Systems
OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT - BUS 312: Advanced Operations Management
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT - BUS 306: Strategic Human Resources Management
ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR - BUS 307: Leadership and Organizational Behavior
LEADERSHIP - BUS 302: Foundations of Leadership
And I'd ask to see if Woodworking can fulfill the hands-on ART requirement.

Keep in mind that you must complete a certain number of courses in your major at UMPI. You also have to complete a specific number of UL courses at UMPI.
What's the physical science course for? That's not a requirement for the major or concentrations.
I would definitely check with UMPI before taking these courses and ask about the minimum requirements you need to complete at UMPI with 2 concentrations and the number of UL courses you'll need to take there. You'll also want to confirm that they will accept these courses ebcause they are reevaluating courses from Study.com right now.
RE: English Comp 102 advice needed - rachel83az - 06-15-2021
You've got Biology & Spanish already, according to the evaluation you posted earlier in the thread. I would just go ahead and apply to UMPI to see what they say about your credits.
RE: English Comp 102 advice needed - odie313 - 06-15-2021
The majority of my classes are from actual community colleges, though some are older than 10 years old. The others are from Aleks, The Institutes, Clepp, and DSST.
Would I need to send a copy of my high school diploma as part of the evaluation.

For UMPI? They'll let you know when you apply. I didn't because I have an associate degree. Some have had to supply high school transcripts without a previous degree.
RE: English Comp 102 advice needed - bjcheung77 - 06-15-2021
Odie313, skip the high school transcripts. If you have 60 earned credits through community college and other alternative credit, you just need to apply and send those transcripts in for evaluation.
