SDC and TESU American Gov't

[oldTESUstudent]

Thank you all.  That helps tremendously.  I only have prior CC credits right now.  49 in total.  I am more than 50/50 on this.  I NEED to get my degree completed so I have a plan in place for me and my kids to have a solid income moving forward.  Not sure if it was this thread that I mentioned I have 2 special needs kids.  But with my situation like it is, this is really the only "doable" route I see happening.  I have talked to local universities who offer fully online programs, but I'd like to be able to finish this faster than those would allow.  And I need some flexibility that those programs won't offer.  I work 3 jobs...2 from home, 1 at a school.  One of the at-home jobs will be replaced with school from a timing perspective.  But I have to be able to do this from home because of my kids.  And I def can't drop a job to do school AND pay for childcare.  

So thanks for all the info.  I would never have had time to research all this without your help.

elledee2020,

My suggestion would be to apply to TESU and have a academic evaluation created.  From there you will be able to see what classes remain for you to complete in order to graduate.  TESU accepts credits from > 100 providers, which you can review here:
 https://www.tesu.edu/academics/catalog/p...-directory

It is advisable to consult with your Academic Advisor before taking a course from an external provider.  ACE credit recommendations change/expire and are not always kept up to date on the TESU and providers websites.  I experienced an issue with a course where the ACE recommendation had changed but since I had emails from my advisor I was eventually granted credit.

There are 2 required classes that must be taken at TESU, 1. Information Literacy and 2. Capstone.  The remaining credits can be transferred in.  One thing to consider is the Residency Fee, which is an additional charge if you have not completed 16 graded credits at TESU.  This is currently $3200. 

Best of luck.
