What constitutes "new" credits for 2nd degree?

[AllThose299s]

Ok, I understand.

Alternative scenario: You want to get the Bachelor of Computer Science at TESU as a second Bachelor's degree and have no previous credits from Liberal Arts Math. Could you not use the Liberal Arts Math TECEP under AOS Part C. (Natural Science, Math, Computer Science Electives) for your new credits?

So, it depends... in theory the Liberal Arts Math TECEP could fall into the Additional AOS electives 6SH (Part H) - in which it could be Natural Sciences, Math and/or Computer Science... however for it to be considered "New" - for the 24 additional credits needed for a second bachelor's degree, it must be completed beyond the date of your most recent degree completed.

With that being said - when I enrolled into TESU and was in the process of getting my BA in CS, I decided to add on an additional associate degree in math (as I already had my first associate from 2010 which was already related to computer science, so it seemed silly to get the ASNSM in computer science as well) when I did this change, at that point my degree audit called out that I had already earned an associate's previously and that I had to complete an additional 12 credits, which as I transferred new credits after that point in time is when the degree audit call out that it was considered "New" - however I had completed at least 40 credits prior via ACE prior to enrolling into TESU years after I had completed my most recent awarded degree but those were not considered "New".

You could try it, but I wouldn't start it until you know for sure that everything is in place (e.g. you've contacted an advisor and had them add the BA in CS as your second bachelor's degree, and even then - I would at least attempt to transfer one of the required courses you need for the BA in CS and see if it's marked as "new" before you even do so), because the last thing you would want is to take the TECEP, it fall where ever it falls into, and then for some reason not be marked as the required "new" credits. If you haven't taken the SAS certificates offered by coursera (https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Coursera) the SAS Programmer Professional Certificate would come in as 4 credits in STA-199, which you could knock it, transfer it to TESU, (I know for a fact that the SAS Advanced Programmer Professional Certificate [STA-399] would fall under Part H for the additional AOS electives and count towards the needed UL) - while you don't need to complete the SAS Programmer cert to complete the SAS Advanced Programmer cert, it does help if you have never used SAS software.

So you could do SAS Programmer cert (earn 4 new credits & confirm if it comes up as "new" in your audit) then take the TECEP and see if it happens to fall into Part H (which at this point you would have earned 7 "new" credits) and then take the SAS Advanced Programmer cert for 3 UL credits, which at this point you would have earned 10 "New" credits since your last degree, it probably would push the 4 credits (STA-199) earned out of Part H, at this point, but it wouldn't change the fact that you would have 10 "New" credits.
