Which College/Degree? A lot of credits.

[rachel83az]

Ok, so my plan shown above:

Sophia:
Sociology (In prog, one touchstone left)
Ethics: done

Study:
COM 120: Presentation skills
Pol Sco 103: Comparative politics
Bus 303 Management Info Sys (in prog)
COS: 330 Computer architecture
CS 105 intro op sys (in prog)
Math 108: Discrete math
CS 201: Data Structures & Algorithms

Should be adequate and I'll only be left with a capstone?

For UL, yes, I think so. You also need to take the cornerstone at TESU. You might want to consider taking a 16-credit term to save money. One suggestion would be:

Cornerstone
Capstone
PLA-100 (1-credit course, necessary to this plan)
American Government ePack instead of Comparative Politics @ SDC
CIS-107 ePack (if this duplicates previous credit, choose another ePack or an easy 100/200-level course)
Software Engineering (not strictly necessary, but it seems like a relatively easy class for UL) OR any random class that interests you.

Otherwise, capstone = $1605. Cornerstone = $1605. Tuition waver fee for not taking 16 TESU credits or more = $3288. Total = $6498.

Flat rate tuition for 16 credits in a single term: $4778

@dillpickles, in addition to the info above... maybe try doing the entire degree remaining requirements with Sophia.org/Study.com and for your residency requirements, take the easiest E-Packs that doesn't duplicate your credits, add those to the cornerstone/capstone until you hit 16 credits...

So, want to make sure of this. And truly, I really appreciate this help so much!

For the CS Core:

Data Structures SDC
Discrete Math SDC
Operating Systems SDC
Comp Architecture SDC (this is UL)

AOS Electives:
Management Info Sys SDC (this is UL)
Software Engineering at TESU (do I need this or can I take a LL on SDC?)
Cornerstone (is this considered an AOS elective?) (this is UL)
Another lower level course?

If I can take LL on SDC or epack, how do I determine which ones won't overlap with whatever I have already?

Cornerstone is lower-level and part of general education.

You do not need Software Engineering. It only a possible suggestion for a 16-credit term to lower your total tuition costs. There are other options. More information here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Th...#Residency 

Otherwise, you can see SDC equivalencies here: https://study.com/college/school/thomas-...rsity.html If the course number is the same, the courses will overlap. For instance, Computer Science 105 and 305 are both counted as being COS-240 at TESU. COS-240 is an actual TESU class, as you can see in the class list here: https://www2.tesu.edu/listall.php

ePacks are listed here: https://www2.tesu.edu/listallc.php?type=EP (these are exams that cost the same as full courses and that DO count towards residency)
TECEPs are listed here: https://www2.tesu.edu/listalltecep.php (these are exams that cost $50 per LL credit or $75 for UL credit and that DO NOT count towards residency)

Well, this is frustrating. I transferred in two sophia classes - Soc101 and ethics. And the new academic eval shows that I now have nine MORE credits to complete than the original. Any thoughts on this? Also, I don't see the sophia courses anywhere on there for Soc or ethics.

[rachel83az]

Did you get the email about "we have completed your latest evaluation"? I don't see anything more recent than 2015, so it's not like they dropped Ethics & Sociology to the unused credits portion for unknown reasons. It kind of looks like they're not done with the evaluation yet.

Yes, and the date is the 18th on the eval.

Strange. I don't know if I would try submitting another couple of courses, to see if it fixes itself (sometimes, it does!), or if I'd contact an advisor and risk getting an unhelpful runaround.

I compared the picture of the recent evaluation to the previous evaluation on another post in the thread, the credits total is different, but each section total is the same. The only difference really is the area that was 'waived'. I wouldn't worry too much, can you do another evaluation such as a BALS NSM and see if that changed from the previous evaluation? The credit numbers for everything correspond to the previous pdf you have in each section, so they didn't update the evaluation completely as the two Sophia.org courses don't show anywhere at all.
