Future TESU BSBA Marketing or GM degree?

[jsd]

Saylor also said they plan to renew the ACPE courses separately from the ACP

[Baloomuka]

Not all the Saylor courses are set to expire at the end if this month - here is link to the thread on the ACPE topic: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid254332

Thanks for the link, it seems that they will be renewing!

Can someone tell me whether Saylor's College Algebra (MA001) will fill Gen. Ed. requirement? And Intro to Stats (MA121) will fill Statistics?

For some reason, my browser was lagging earlier and I was unable to add my Excel spreadsheet... It seems I've been able to attach it, I was wondering if everything was more or less in place/anything needs revision?
Color coding is as follows:
Green: complete
Blue: in progress
purple: free courses
red: incomplete


* I forgot to adjust the A. Intellectual and Practical Skills (15cr) section on my Excel sheet:
Info Literacy will be done as A&I Literature CLEP- I'll be able to knock out 3 CLEP (P. of Marketing/Management + A&I) and quickly fill up some spaces

Update:

Waiting to see with my TESU advisor whether my Quantitative Reasoning can be switched to the Quantitative Literacy Gen. Ed block, for some reason it went straight to electives under the BSBA evaluation but any other evaluation it shows up in the block mentioned. I'd rather NOT take another College Algebra course, but I suppose if I have to. D:

Also just finished my last graded exam in SL Macroeconomics!! I have an 83% in the course and I've calculated I will need about 110 points on the Final Exam in order to pass! Need to get these concepts down and knock this class out... Hoping to feel confident by midweek and schedule proctoring!

From my understanding, Microeconomics will be similar in the first 5 topics.

I'm about half-way complete with English Comp 2 on SL, though I just realized I could possibly have that requirement met by the College Composition CLEP??
Does anyone know whether it satisfies ENG 101 and 102 or does it depend on a certain score?
I've asked my advisor this question as well and will post the response tomorrow hopefully.


RECAP:
Looking to have 12-15 credits done by the end of this month, which consist of:
- SL English Composition 2 (or CLEP College Composition satisfying both ENG101 & ENG102... waiting to send CLEP scores until I accumulate more!)
- SL Macroeconomics (have a tiny doubt that I won't pass, though I need to be confident in my abilities and prepare wisely!)
- CLEP A&I Lit
- CLEP Principles of Marketing
- CLEP Principles of Management (given I make enough time to finish all of my studying)

Just wanted to add this at the end...
In the past, I felt a very daunting feeling toward this whole process; where to begin, where to focus, how long it would take, etc...
Today, I am feeling so confident in my abilities and believe so deeply in what many have mentioned: Start today, 6 months from now you will be that much closer to your goal!!!
Thanks again to all of the helpful people out there, and an additional thank you (and a "KEEP ON KEEPING ON") to all of those beginning, those in the process, and those continuing, their educational journey.

College Composition CLEP WITH ESSAY counts for both English I & II (only need a passing score of 50).  College Comp WITHOUT ESSAY only counts as English I (need a passing score of 50).

If you are enrolled at TESU, you should go ahead and opt to send your CLEP scores each time you take the exams, it's free to do so.  The sooner you get it to TESU, the better.  Getting the CLEP manual transcript is a slow process, and you should definitely not wait to send that because they take a long time.

Dfrecore, I will sleep so soundly tonight!

I wasn't aware that CLEP exams can be sent for free to TESU! Is it only free post exam via testing center or can it be done via collegeboard for free as well?
Regardless, I think I'm gonna request to send them off tomorrow...

I will be contacting SL tomorrow to see if I can't get a refund on my ENG 102 course seeing as I completed the CLEP with Essay about 3 years ago.

Thanks for the speedy response, looks like I've got 3 more credits than I thought :')

There should be an option before you take the CLEP exam, asking whether you'll be sending the scores to a particular school.  They put in the school code, and off they go automatically when you get your passing score.

If you need to contact them to send a score after the fact, you have to send (fax?) a transcript request form and pay $20.

[Baloomuka]

Roger that, I thought it was something like that.

I suppose I may as well pay it now and get it out of the way. Green is my favorite color, I'd like to see more of it on my academic evaluation!

Thanks again, friendo

You can submit a FAX or US mail request, but you can also just call them and request the transcript directly... it just requires a credit card.

DSST, on the other hand, still requires a FAX or US mail request and won't take transcript requests by phone.

I'm surprised that neither company supports getting an unofficial transcript or requesting official transcripts via their website. I'm sure that will come eventually.

SL has a no refund policy - so they won't give you a refund for the Comp II, but you can tell them "oops' wrong class and they will exchange it for another course.  (https://www.straighterline.com/refunds/)

Thanks for the tip, Merlin; I decided to contact Collegeboard via telephone and processed my request this morning. 
2-3 days to process the order, payment cleared immediately (using CC), and 7-10 business days to mail. 
When processing scores via a test center: scores will be available to you immediately (except essay exams), and it takes 24h for the scores to appear in the Collegeboard system. Following suit, those scores are either mailed (7-10 business days) or processed electronically.

I was also informed that sometime this year Collegeboard will be making scores available online via your account (as a sort of unofficial transcript) for test takers' reference!

Allvia, thanks for the tip!
I worded my request properly and informed the SL staff that I'm not looking for a refund but an exchange of credit ($) towards another course. 
This has happened to me in the past, and they were more than happy to process my request!
