Degree Plan Help, please! Excelsior BSLA!

Also, at EC, you don't have to pay the $1095 enrollment fee if you do 12cr through them, and you get a break on tuition, so it turns out to be about $500 more overall, but almost all of the total is covered by the Pell grant because it's all tuition.  As opposed to the enrollment fee not being covered by the Pell.  It's a better option overall.

I do not know what EC brings Coopersmith courses in as, so I would get those pre-approved if possible before taking them.
---------------------
For the previous degree plan I did for you, you left off Visual Communications, Intro to Business, and US History I - did you not complete those?

Last, you need 30cr of UL, and at least 21cr of those must be in the Arts & Sciences.  So, I would do at least 4 more UL Psych-type courses from Coopersmith, and then you're free to take the remaining 3 UL courses in whatever you want.

And yes, if you bring things in that aren't a full 3cr (like Full Sail's courses are all wonky), you have to make up the number of credits.  But, I show the correct number of things on the degree plan I did for you, so I'm not certain how better to answer your questions than to have you go back and look at that degree plan, and see if it matches up with EC.

Ugh. I totally missed listing Vis Com and Intro to Business & US Hist. I thought I did. Weird. Added. 

You can get the Pell Grant if you do 6 cr in one semester. But what I am saying is that I don't think I CAN do that until my other ULs are finished, right? So I should wait on enrolling? Plus taking 12 CR through them when I only NEED to take 7 seems like it would be more expensive since classes are $410 per credit hour. UNLESS Pell Grant doesn't cover fees, which I thought they did. I am confused. I also do NOT have time to take 2-3 classes per semester until next summer unless they don't require lots of essay writing.
