SOS 110 Information Literacy discounted through edx Microbachelor - MNomadic - 09-05-2022
I believe this is still the required cornerstone for TESU degrees so here's an opportunity to take it at a discount. $498 at full price though you may be able to apply for financial aid through edx to get it discounted further.

Dang! Over a grand late.

That's an awesome offering from TESU, it's free to audit, and here's the link for their edx transfers: https://www.tesu.edu/degree-completion/edx-credit For those who are getting 16 RA credits for residency credits, that would be my recommendation as it would hit the requirements for RA, graded, and remove the residency waiver fee. The residency waiver is already expensive, adding a little to that cost will provide you graded credits instead.

I don't see anywhere that states the (non-TESU) edX credits would be applied TESU towards residency, and I'm only seeing the single 3 credit course? Where are you getting edX as a path to remove the residency waiver fee?
RE: SOS 110 Information Literacy discounted through edx Microbachelor - rachel83az - 09-06-2022
I think the idea is that if it counts toward residency credit, you can do the edX course first, then 13 credits in a flat rate term to get to 16 without having to actually take 16 credits at once?

It does seem odd for TESU, but for edX, it is pretty normal, I think. A lot of their courses don't count for credit unless and until you enroll in the particular degree program at the partner school they are intended to work in.
That said, It's not clear that it would apply to the SOS-110 course as it seems to be listed at it's own, one-course microbachelor's.

‘Upon submission of this form and successful completion of edX MicroBachelors program courses, TESU will award and record academic credit on a TESU transcript. ‘
I don’t know if this counts towards RA credits.
