TESU Information Literacy - equivalent course?

[P226mem]

suzycupcake, I sent you a PM, I'd like to get some Capstone samples please.  Thank you!

Is the information literacy course part of the associate portion or the bachelors?

If you are seeking a bachelors or associates at tesu you need to take and pass this course one time.
SOS 110 is in the Gen Ed section. part A, Intellectual and Practical Skills Courses. (catalog jan 2019 and later of course)

I'll clarify my question,
I am old catalog and already have a religion course from straighterline satisfying the information literacy slot. 

If I graduate with an associate degree, is that sufficient to satisfy the category?

Or will they ask me to retake it as SOS110 later when I decide I want to continue with my bachelor? Since it won't be same catalog year as my associate?

And I know I will have to pay residency fee, but later with the bachelor I will use fafsa to take all my courses at TESU. I jist want to avoid duplicate courses if needed.

Seagull - If your Associates is on an older catalog year, you will not need the SOS-110 course. But when you add your Bachelors, it will require it. Your current Info Lit slot course would be dumped into general education electives or free electives, depending on the space you have left in either fields... I highly recommend skipping the residency waiver in favor of taking 16 credits or more if you use flat rate tuition.

That means that the information literacy is required for either degree even when taken independent from each other? So they made the requirement unavoidable? I thought it was only for the associate portion of the degree and when completed and degree conferred, if later one applied for bachelor, one only needed to complete capstone, AOS, UL, electives, etc.

If anyone can help me with this question please, as for me it determines what to do next.

I don't think anyone has actually done this yet for this specific case? I don't think you're going to be able to avoid the SOS-110 requirement for a bachelor's but I could be wrong.

You will need to take the SOS-110 as it's a requirement for all degrees in the 2019a year and later, so if you finished an associates that did NOT require it, it will only transfer all 60 credits into the degree, your Info Lit you have taken will be bumped into the free electives or general education electives if you are going Bachelors. There are no if/and/or/but in this situation. Having said that, if you transferred in a Bachelors degree, ALL general education and free electives would be complete, that's the |ONLY| way to skip the SOS-110 course.

Thank you, it wasn't explained on TESU. And that confused me as it showed it as being part of the associate portion. That does forces one to complete the bachelor. Thank you again.

So the old Info Lit requirement for your AA is from an older catalog, which could be satisfied through taking that World Religions course.

Once you add a BA (or even another AA), even if you're adding it to what you're already doing, you will have to take the cornerstone for that degree.  So for your current AA, you're golden, but not for anything else you want to do later.

Even adding a BA now, within same enrollment, same catalog?
