All the needed credits, just need the degree!

Long story short my university notified me just days before graduation that they mistakenly promised to accept the Study.com credits and that I would be 6 credits short.  They suggested I CLEP the courses but I already took them once and one would have to be a science CLEP which are all 6 credit exams and take a while to prepare for. I would like to just transfer them to TESU, take the capstone and the other required course.   I am up against a clock in that I was offered my dream job teaching band and all that they are waiting for is my degree so I can sign the contract.  I have all the credits I need to graduate with a Bachelor of Music from my local university.  

Does anyone know how long the process is in a situation like this?  Would it be something I can complete by the end of June?  (I am making this post on June 4th)

If you applied today, and got all of your credits sent over, IF you have the credits in the right places, you could register for the cornerstone and capstone for the July term, and you wouldn't be able to graduate until December.

I would probably also look at Excelsior and COSC, those may be better (and will certainly be cheaper) options.  I think EC graduates people monthly.

We could probably also give you some other options for courses to take over to your current school.  Not sure about graduation there, but it might be the simplest option.  You could take self-paced science courses through TEL or ONU for only $150-$200 per course and finish super-fast (totally up to you).

ONU (self-paced, $50/cr)
BIO 201 - General Biological Science
GEO 121: Physical Geology

TEL (self-paced, $67/cr)
Intro to Biology
Chemistry I
Physical Sciences

I'd probably also consider taking the Bio and NatSci CLEP exams - they're ~$100 each, can't hurt to give them a shot.

Also, think about exams instead:

UExcel ($110/exam + $55 test center fee)
BIOx250: Basic Genetics
GEOx101: Earth Science
PHYx120: Weather & Climate
SCIx259: The Science of Nutrition

TECEP ($150/exam)
Intro to Biology
The Science of Nutrition

-------------------------------------------------------------

If you list all of your courses here, we can help you figure out which school is the best option.  Include the course #, full course name, grade if less than a C, and number of credits for each course.  I'll see if there's a perfect fit for any of the Big 3 (and TESU has a music degree, which might be a good option).
