Sometimes timing works in your favor - Insert Name - 07-14-2022
I'm in my Capstone for Excelsior BSNET, which finishes August 15th.
Just got the email that Pierpont approved my BOG AAS, with a graduation date of August 5th, meaning it will be approved just before I would be ineligible due to having a degree.

Ya, I took some time off getting my degree. COVID hits, then Sophia is free. Then ka-ching, all these big checks start rolling in from the government for going to school.

Yes, sometimes timing is everything. I remember a couple of members here who got started with their first TECEP, the Strategic Management one as their first course exam before it expired in June 2017. After passing it, they slowly and surely finished the degree requirements through transferring in the remaining courses through alternative credits. It's strange starting with the final course and going backwards, but as long as it works for them in starting their degree, that's all they need as a first stepping stone...

I was here for some freebies (Sophia's Project Management was UL and free in 2015); I also was in the 2014/15 catalog at TESU and TECEP's counted for residency, and then as I was taking them, they switched it to only needing 16cr instead of 24cr. So I got to take 5 TECEP's and the 1cr cornerstone for $300 back in the day. I really lucked out (although not lucky enough to pass the Strategic Management TECEP unfortunately).
