Hello, I am a long-time lurker who has finally completed all of their graduation requirements for a bachelor's from TESC. I still have to apply, but I was wondering if I should wait until the Fall, or if applying now is a good idea? I am not too sure how to go about this! Thank you for the help, guys.

Congrats! You are almost done I would apply ASAP to make sure you lock in the current catalog before the requirements change, then you will have to start over. Do you still have the capstone left? Or are you planning on transferring all 120 credits? What program?

I am hoping for the Social Sciences program. I do plan on transferring all of my credits as my work is paying the full cost of the degree and there isn't any benefit to me using the per-credit format. However, I am concerned about the registration dates for the capstone... I don't believe I'll make any of the upcoming ones, but I'm afraid that this means I'll have to wait a year or more for graduation. Right? I just can't believe they don't offer more capstone classes throughout the year!

Yes, but there isn't anything for July, August, September, October, etc. From what it looks like, I would have needed to apply and finish my degree eval and everything else to make the next capstone course. Correct, or am I wrong? That's why I expected to have to wait 1 year+, as I still haven't registered or anything with TESC.

Do it now before a catalog change happens

TESC academic year starts in July. That is why you will see in July 2015 new academic calendar for July 2015 - June 2016. The capstone course ( as all other courses) will be offered each month ( as they are offered now.)

Apply and start submitting your transcripts for evaluation. I think once you're accepted you can register for the capstone course. I'm currently enrolled and I can register for the April term capstone if I wanted to. Refer to the academic calendar for registration and term start dates.

Apply now, get your credits evaluated to make sure you really don't have any other requirements and when the new capstone courses come out, apply for the first one. The worst thing you can do is NOT apply before the new catalog comes out.
