Graduation process - lillingworth - 02-17-2015
For the big 3, once you have all the credits you need, which school will process the graduation application the fastest? I've heard a couple people mention that TESC only does it a couple times a year. I planned to go through TESC but this is making me hesitant. I'm on a very, VERY strict time limit here because if I can't finish a degree on time and apply somewhere, I will be deported.
Thanks!

Excelsior College confers degrees once a month. Here is the chart - http://www.excelsior.edu/deadlines As you can see, that part of the process takes about 2 months. One of the other limiting factors time-wise will be the required capstone course.

Thank you for all the responses! Just curious, does excelsior require a capstone for AA? I thought it was only for 4 year degrees but I could be wrong. If not though, I think I might be pretty close to an Associates. I glanced at the requirements for AA but I couldn't really tell... I don't know what will transfer and what won't. I suppose I should toss up a new thread and ask.
And they still have no residency requirements, right?

I replied to your other thread, too.
Yes, all degrees as EC require a capstone course now. That is the residency requirement.

Yep... I was reading a thread from 2010 without realizing it.. that's why i thought it wasn't required. I should pay more attention.
