So it's very strange - I am just rereading the actual link for the TESU Aware of Degrees Policy that HE sent me within his email. I'm sure that most of you are very familiar with this page:
https://tesu.smartcatalogiq.com/current/...of-Degrees
Anyhow, there is definitely a section on getting a 2nd TESU degree if you already have one, so that implies AFTER the initial one is awarded. However, there is very clearly spelled out the following paragraph:
"First Simultaneous Associate or Baccalaureate Degrees
Students who desire to have two different Thomas Edison State University baccalaureate degrees awarded in the same graduation cycle may do so providing 24 credits are different in the second degree's core/area of study. In addition, all requirements for both degrees must be satisfied.
Students who desire to have two different Thomas Edison State University associate degrees awarded in the same graduation cycle may do so providing 12 credits that are different in the second degree's option. In addition, all requirements for both degrees must be satisfied.
In both cases, the degrees earned must be different degrees, not just a different/additional area of study. For one degree with two areas of study/options, refer to the Two Areas of Study within One Degree policy"
So this is pretty darn clearn, to me at least. And I did read this two weeks ago when I first started looking at this wiki plan. "Two different degrees ... in the same graduation cycle."
It's weird that a Academic Advising Supervisor would not know this.
Again, anyone have any thoughts or experiences?
