Purdue Global Associates in IT - Planning Help

That's why I said that they should check to see first.

And I also said that the Capstone would be a standalone course after the Exceltrack was completed.

Right, but that Capstone is not for an ExcelTrack degree. They would be admitted to the ExcelTrack program. That Capstone course wouldn't even be an option for them to enroll in. PUG is weird about the differences between the two programs.

Yes - you would enroll in the ExcelTrack degree, then quit after you completed the 4 courses, then take the Capstone as a regular student.

And they may need to reapply. PUG is really weird with the ExcelTrack.

Ok, so reapply.  I don't get why you're arguing this.  The entire point was: 
1) apply at PUG for the BSIT/ExcelTrack
2) find out if you can take those 4 specific courses first that are required both by the BSIT/ExcelTrack and the AAS IT
3) find out if those 4 courses are available in a single term
4) do a term of the ExcelTrack program
5) withdraw from the ExcelTrack program
6) ask to be switched to the AAS IT program; or else reapply to it
7) take the AAS IT capstone

The person wants an AAS, I found a possible way for them to get one, and there may be some extra steps to get what they want, but it's worth at least trying.  There is absolutely nothing lost by asking some questions.
