1) Yes, those should work in that area
2) Yes, looks good. Valid, and all requirements met (MAN, MAR, & ACC are all covered, that's 3 of 4 areas).
3) Yes, the Cybersecurity course will bump down to Free Electives because you're 2 credits over in Gen Ed Electives.
4) Yes, the Calc course will come in as 4cr.
5) Yes, the NFA course will bump into "Other" because you're over in credits
6) Yes, he will have to take the Online course. The good news is it's not a semester, it's a 3-mo term. Also, with the Study.com affiliation, he should be getting it for the reduced price, right now it looks like they're doing it as $1098 for everyone. So I would sign up for that as soon as possible after he graduates.
Also, with the affiliation, he'll not have to take the Cornerstone, and he should get the residency waiver reduced if he graduates before June 30, so I would get on that ASAP!
Good job with your son, I'm impressed!
Thank you dfrecore! I am grateful for your input. As you probably guessed, my spreadsheet is merely a modification of one you sent me months ago. I've been so hyper-focused on guiding my son through these credits, that I have failed to "learn" the TESU side of things. What is the reason for applying to TESU prior to June 30? Is it to get him locked into the 2016-2017 catalog, or is it because of an upcoming change in affiliate pricing via Study.com, or is it due to an anticipated overhaul in the Strategic Management course, or something else (all of these are unknown to me)? I'm trying to figure out if I need to push my son to get his high school credits completed prior to June 30, 2017 and push our homeschool administrator to get a transcript ready during what is normally the month they "take a break". Please help me understand the June 30, 2017 deadline advice. For some reason, I thought Study.com affiliate pricing ran out June 30, 2018.
Also, is it better to take the online Strategic Management course, say this fall, even though he's still shy on all his other credits, or is it just as good to wait until spring or even fall 2018? Is Strategic Management a "write a research paper" course or is it a "watch lectures, read textbook, & take proctored exams" course?
Sorry for all the "newbie" questions.
Thanks!
