TESU Capstone Registration

[Merlin]

I'm seriously about to lose it with TESU. My academic evaluation was finally completed last friday (after a week of daily phone calls and emails) and it looked like I'd have the green light to register for the March Capstone. That is, until today when I received the email below:

"Permission to register for BUS-421, Business Administration Capstone, will not be granted at this time. Students must have 100 credits or more applied to his/her degree program and all of the requirements in the following areas satisfied: English Composition I & II, the Core and Area of Study."

Is this new? I feel like every time I speak with someone at TESU I received different and conflicting answers. The only requirements that I'm seeing on the TESU website that must be met prior to enrolling the in Capstone is 100 credits and a GPA of 2.0. 

Am I missing something?

From what I understand, the requirements are that you must have at least 100 credits on your evaluation, including the majority (all but maybe 1-2 courses) of your Core/AOS courses complete. By that point, students should already have English Comp complete, so I usually don't mention that requirement, but yes, you need to have passed those courses with at least a CR/C.

So, that sounds right. With the exception that they are saying that you need ALL your Core/AOS courses complete, which is usually not required. The website doesn't list the complete requirements, but an email was sent out via email to current students at one time with the additional details.

Even if it wasn't a requirement I'd suggest completing the English Comp courses first considering that the Capstone courses are all about academic writing.
