Hi, I am an international student at TESU. So I was on this forum a little while back asking for help on what school to choose. I found a thread and copied the dual degree plan for BSBA CIS and BA CS, and have been working towards that till recently when I found out that that degree plan is outdated. Only found out after enrolling and talking to an advisor. Would like some input on how I should go about this.
Your Location: Singapore
Your Age: 22
What kind of degree do you want?: I was hoping to get both a BSBA CIS and BA CS from TESU, but I'm not sure if dual degrees are still possible or not.
The academic advisor's email to me is "We do not offer double degree option, however, you have an option to focus on two area of study within one degree program, this means, if you are planning to do BA in Computer Science, you can add another discipline as long as it is under the Bachelor of Arts."
Either way, my main focus is a CS degree.
Current Regional Accredited Credits:
-NIL-
Current ACE, CLEP, or NCCRS Credits:
Already Transferred Total Credits: # 40.75
KNOWLDG HUMAN CULTRS: Humanities (Complete)
Elective (Complete) (30.75CR)
Besides that, I have taken another 27 credits on Sophia that are not transferred yet.
-NIL-
My plans moving forward is to take the following classes and proceed with a 16CR semester. But the advisor told me that the cap for each semester is 15 credits so I'm not sure if I can still do that. Also, I'm not too sure about how to fulfill my RA credits.

[b]TL;DR [/b]
- Can I still get double degree from TESU, BSBA CIS and BA CS?
- Can I do 16 CR semester to avoid paying for the waiver? I'm guessing they wouldn't suggest it unless I already have 100 at least.
- How should I fulfill the RA credits requirement?
- Is there a way to check how many RA i have on TESU? I know I don't have any RA credits yet, but I can't find anything in their student service that shows "0/30" or something equivalent. Just curious to know if that is a function or do I just have to know what they count as RA or not.
