Going back to school at 29 for CS with only freshman year of college completed
#7
Looks good. Just would recommend getting your Pierpont application started soon and not wait until April, as you can continue to send in credits as you work in Sophia until you're up to the 60 required. No harm in exceeding 60, 90 or more with either Pierpont or TESU. You will want to hit the Pierpont requirements for any missing classes first: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Pierpont_C%26TC

No limit on Sophia on how many classes you can take in a month, the limit is just that you can have 2 open at a time - if you have a class open with a touchstone (essay or project), you will want to have one without a touchstone so you are not stuck waiting for grading without being able to take classes. If you are waiting for 2 classes to be graded, you can also contact Sophia support to open a third class.

You will want to concentrate on one provider at a time - e.g. Sophia, then study dot com if you work on classes through them. You can bring in up to 90 credits via ACE/NCCRS such as Sophia, study dot com and sources like Coopersmith. That is in addition to the RA credits that you already, as you can have up to 114 credits transferred into a degree at TESU, if you choose to take just two classes at TESU and pay the residency waiver as mentioned above by davewill. It will be closer to 105 total max into a degree if you choose to do the 15-credit term for the flat rate tuition.

Good luck!
