Squeezing in for March Graduation--is this realistic?

[Joeman200]

I have 3 propero/penn foster courses to complete
3 study.com courses
I'm going to try a PLA with learningcounts (which includes a saylor course)
and the capstone.

I think I can get the 6 courses done before Christmas. Then I'd have lots of free time for the capstone and PLA.  However, if I start the capstone in December/January, I won't graduate until June.   Also, I must enroll with TESU by November and was planning of taking a TECEP to fulfill this (even though I won't need the credits from the TECEP).

I was just looking into the graduation process and if I start the capstone in November, I'm eligible for March graduation.  That would also take care of getting myself enrolled.

I have two concerns though:

1)  I would be giving myself an overwhelming amount of work.  Is it possible to do the capstone and afterwards finish some courses?  I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do everything at once.   The deadline to submit for graduation is January 1st...  Are there exceptions to this, as in having them expect a course be transferred in later? How much work a week is the capstone?

2)  The capstone course starts October 30th.   At that time, I probably won't have 5 area-of-study courses started/completed.  How vital are the AOS courses compared to what's required of the capstone?   If I were at a normal B&M institution, wouldn't I be taking the capstone at the same time I'd be taking my 400 level courses?



I have 7 days if I want to enroll in the November Capstone.    If I stick to my original plan of finishing all my courses (and being done in December) and then taking the capstone, I'll have to wait 6 months for my diploma.
