Think I'm Going For Associate in Arts (general studies) at TESC

[cooperalex2004]

The system will split them because it is somewhat likely that both A&I Lit and AP English Lit will both be LIT courses. You must take two different subject areas to meet the requirements for the 12 credits of humanities. If they accept the AP credits some other way then you could put them all in humanities and simply find another general ed elective as you said. If you are enrolled you are to the point you should meet with an adviser (on the phone) and plan in the rest of your credits if you haven't already.

Other notes:
-Your CLEP US History I exam will move to social sciences by default (unless soc sci fills up)
-You are missing another course in the Nat/Sci math area, I would consider another ALEKS course (like Algebra which can be used in combination with Intermediate Algebra) or maybe take Management Information Systems DSST (CIS-301). The catalog doesn't put CIS-301 in Nat Sci/Math but my eval does for my degree (ask an adviser).
-For your last general ed requirement (opened by moving AP Lit up if possible) you can take yet another ALEKS course, or of course another CLEP or DSST exam. As you said, why spend time on Straighterline if you don't have to.

Good Luck.
