I would suggest doing the Cornerstone immediately. Both the cornerstone and capstone require a bit of writing and you might not want to do them together. I can also foresee logistical issues with getting TESU to let you register for both in the same term. It'll be easier if you've been an enrolled student for a bit before trying to register for the capstone. Besides, taking a real course with due dates and deadlines will help make the commitment more real.

I like this idea. I'll also make a commitment of over a thousand dollars quick and commit myself. I can do other things concurrently too. 

I'm taking some of the study.com prep tests (the free stuff) right now. I've done 4 and out of 15 questions I've gotten 6, 9, 11, & 11 correct. Hopefully that is a small indicator that I'll have a decent amount of knowledge on a lot of things I'm going to have to test for.

I think you can almost 100% count out being eligible for September graduation at this point. In order to be signed up for the May Capstone, you need to have 100 credits not only completed, but also evaluated by TESU and added to your degree plan. Also, out of these 100 credits, it must include most of the business core and area of study done. TESU is very strict on this requirement now, as I've seen first hand and through other posts on this forum. If you haven't even applied to TESU yet, it will take about a month before they accept you and evaluate everything you have right now and by then it would be too late. And if you've already applied, to earn 60 credits and have them evaluated into your plan all in only three weeks time is near impossible.

Thanks, December it is  Smile

If you want to graduate in December, heres what you need to know:

[*]Most TESU courses start at the beginning of every month and they last for 12 weeks (3 months)
[*]You need to take the capstone and cornerstone in either June, July or August.
[*]It doesn't matter which month you sign up for, but just know August is the absolute lastest you can sign up for September graduation.
[*]Before being able to sign up for the capstone you need to have 100 credits done and evaluated into your plan with most of your Core/AOS done. 
[*]The cornerstone has no requirements, you can sign up for that whenever.
[*]All your courses and transcripts need to submit to TESU by October 1st (the exception would be any TESU courses in progress if you started the August term)

More info on graduation: https://www.tesu.edu/current-students/gr...nformation
Deadlines to sign up for courses: https://www.tesu.edu/academics/undergrad-calendar
[*]

So I have 4 months to pick up about 75 credits, have them evaluated, and enrolled in the Capstone by August for the 12 week course which should have me on pace for a degree in December.

Basically, I need to complete 7 courses a month. Doable on Study.com?



Study.com only allows you to take 2 proctored exams a month, is this accurate? It looks like there is an additional fee of $70 per proctored course over 2 in any month. 

I assume this would be a reason to combine Study.com with Saylor, TECEP, etc?
