Is it worth taking an extra term for GPA reasons?

I don't know if I can do six classes including the capstone in one term and keep a solid GPA. I also can take an extra term to complete my teceps as epack courses since they are graded. Is it worth it to spread it out with how expensive a term is? Taking the most conservative route will be three terms.


This depends on your goal(s) after you complete your bachelor degree. You will need a TESU GPA of 2.0 to graduate (C or better), the Capstone requires a 2.7 (B- or better) for the course itself.  Do you have a graduate program (or professional goal) in mind that requires a certain minimum GPA?

You only need a C or higher (73+) for the capstone course.

Arizona State’s Universal Learner courses are more expensive than ONU’s, but at only 425 USD aren;’t bad for 3 RA credits.  They’re another option where you can finish the course and only pay to transcript once you know you’ll like your grade.

Ah, that is a change from when I graduated in 2018 (so many things have). No doubt that is very good news for many.  I remember my own panic when I did poorly on the mid-term for BUS-421 (you really need to have 'those lists' down pat); obviously, I managed to regain my calm and carried on Smile

With that cleared up - the rest of post to the OP remains unchanged; depends on the goal(s) after the bachelor.
