So it turns out you can't even register for this course until you have every other core Business requirement already done.

I didn't know this. Sad

I was planning on doing Operations Management and Business Strategy together, and perhaps some DSST on the side if I was lagging, which I am. Even if I only had Ops Mgmt to do, I still would not make the September deadline, so now I have to wait 2 more months to take the course, which sets my conferral date at late February now, one year from when I started.

I think my original projection of 2 or 3 months from beginning to finish was a bit too optimistic. Stupid Lawrie Miller raised the bar too high for me. :p

I started Business Policy even though I was lacking the Finance, OP Management and Ethics core requirements; I'm in my final week of the BP course. Talk to your adviser and see if they can squeeze you in!

Talking to my advisor...? What a novel concept. :o Thanks, I'll try!

Thanks for the nudge, swisha!

Congrats on your progress!

Noticed you passed MIS...any suggestions on studying for the Management Information Systems Test? Will IC adequately cover the testing material?

Thanks!

That's what I did.... sweet talked the advisor, and told her what CLEP's i'd have done by the time the class was over.

Congrats BTW.hilarious
