Charter Oak Capstone Cost - publius2k4 - 05-10-2013
Does Charter Oak's Capstone cost the same as the Cornerstone?
I enrolled yesterday, and my adviser says I need to be enrolled in 6 credits to receive financial aid....even though I'm only 6 credits away from graduation.

If your out of state it will cost you $966 for the 3 credit class. $322 for the 5 week 1 credit class and $644 for the 10week 2 credit class. There is no book requirement for the capstone. I am taking the first 1credit portion now.

Yeah the class is roughly $900.
The 6 credit requirement is based on federal funding requirements. 6 credits is the minimum you have to be enrolled in to receive any aid at all.
I would figure out what you need for your other 6 credits and take that as a course elsewhere via consortium agreement it will be considerably cheaper (half or less) and allow you to qualify for federal student aid.
CSU-Pueblo worked really well for me doing this over 2 semesters and you can be in one of their classes this afternoon if need be. Independent Study > Division of Continuing Education > Colorado State University-Pueblo

If publius2k4 is only 6 credits away from graduation is that not the cornerstone and capstone which cannot be taken in the same semester?

The Cornerstone is an 8 week course.
The capstone is a 1 credit 5 or 8 week course coupled with a 2 credit 8 week course....so in theory one has the time in a single semester.....be a semester FULL of writing!
