"When you begin earning those credits is also important.
"New credits" are defined as credits earned after official completion of a previous degree. This means that you should not begin course work toward your second degree until after the date printed on the diploma of your first degree. For instance, if I completed my course work in April, applied for graduation and was awarded a bachelorâs degree in June, I would need to wait until July 1 to begin course work toward my next degree."
So I gather it is no longer beyond the date the most recent degree was completed as stated in the catalog; it's the month after conferral. Overall, the article was pretty good. Guess more than a few TESC students are picking up a second associates and or bachelors degree to warrant an official write up! Good stuff.
Okay, this is probably going to sound dumb, but I'm confused. Is this saying that instead of being able to start on the 24 New credits (for 2 bachelors) the day after the conferral of your first degree you now have to wait a whole month!?!? Or am I missing something? Thanks!
