Ok
So, graduation audit request gets sent in. Ask advising to help me with a problem, they respond I am two credits short. (Prior to this semester, when I was planning it out, I asked they remove all planning credits so I could see what I needed. They left one in).
I need two gen ed elective credits.
Flying back to DegreeForum, which always has the answers, I see study.com's Communications 120 as a lower-pain faster class. It also has the benefit of qualifying me as an affiliate, getting me potentially discounted fees.
I dig through the subforum, and there are no stickies anymore talking about study.com (guess the upgrade ate them), tried some searches to no avail.
I'm building this as a potential sticky for others, but I intend to still dig for the answers before I commit.
This is my plan for low-cost / no-cost credit that parlays into discounted fees at Thomas Edison State University.
1. Pause Capstone (a feat in and of itself, but I digress).
2. EDIT: YOU MUST ENTER STUDY.COM VIA THE LINK AT THE TESU LINK Using the code at https://www.tesu.edu/studycom/index.cfm (TESU4061) start a 30 day free trial, registering at study.com
3. Register for Comm 120 (I already checked to ensure TESU transferred it in (as of today, continued confirmation it goes in as "as COM-290 Presentational Speaking and can complete the section" AND it slotted into the hole I had - important (already had that issue once before.))
Unsure at this point. Tentatively:
4t. Somehow, tell TESU I am a study.com member and change me to 'affiiate' status.
5t. Get Admissions to slot this course on my academic evaluation so the graduation audit committee doesn't bounce me (shows in-progress / completable by deadline).
5t. Do course. Rapidly.
6t. Do proctored final.
7t. Use the link at https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/b90253...bd813935c1
to request a *direct* issuance of the transcript from study.com to TESU.
-then-
at. somehow get TESU to hurry the accepting and loading of transcript process
bt. shut off study.com account, hopefully paying nothing (if I pay, honestly, not a dealbreaker, just trying to make a positive here).
ct. get all of this accomplished by the deadline for March graduation (I keep forgetting. 28 December or 1 January??)
dt. pay reduced residency waiver.
What am I missing? @Dfrecore or @JSD?
So, I need to sign up for the college accelerator version, right?
