So I was officially accepted at TESU (side note - I'm 19, all they required was 24 credits, which I had via CLEP, a special form, and for me to pass the Accuplacer). Trying to figure out exactly where to go from here and what the timeline of events looks like. I'm not in much of a rush because I still have a lot of coursework left, but want to know what I'm doing.
My CLEP and ACE transcripts show as received today and yesterday, respectively, which only leaves my OnlineDegree.com transcript en route.
How long will it take for my CLEP and ACE transcripts to be placed on my academic evaluation? Will they not be evaluated until TESU receives my OD transcript, or will they piecemeal it?
I intend to have a dual-AoS, but this wasn't an option during the registration process. How do I notify TESU that I intend to complete a second AoS?
Any reason to delay taking the cornerstone, or should I sign up for it immediately (I'll definitely have it done before the deadline either way, just wondering the pros and cons)?

No reason to delay, no reason to rush. Sign up for the cornerstone sometime in the next few months so that you're enrolled well before next July when the current 1 credit cornerstone will supposedly not be available in every term (whatever that means). TESU is saying that if the 1cr course isn't available you have to take a 3 cr course instead.
Until you're enrolled, you are limited to two evals so if you intended to send in transcripts on an incremental basis that would be another good reason to enroll sooner rather than later. You have a hard deadline of one year before your "accepted" status expires and you would have to reapply and move to the new catalog, so certainly do it before then.

They seem to do the eval at exactly the last date they said they will, meaning if they say your eval will be done in 30 days, then it will be done on the 30th day and not any sooner. They will do each transcript separately, and you may get an email saying that your eval is done after the 1st transcript is done, but I always give it a couple/few days to make sure all of them are done.

Or once it's completed, it may not even be done properly and you have to call in to get it sorted out...
I just sent a new transcript from straighterline, I am predicting another month for it to be reflected.

Another quick question here:
Since I intend to do a second AoS, but that wasn't an option during registration, how do I notify TESU to declare my second area of study?

You email advising and ask them to add the second AOS. Sometime before Xmas, it should pop up in your academic eval.

Whoa - the accuplacer?? That's new and worth hearing more about. Did you have it and just send it in anyway, or did they tell you to take it?

That is stated as a requirement on the website for folks under 21 coming into TESU now.

They told me to take it. I had actually taken it about a month ago for placement at the B&M CC where I'm taking some classes, but not with all the TESU required sections (the CC doesn't require the reading subject)

Actually, not everyone under 21 has to take it. According to their website, " Applicants who have earned less than 24 credits or have earned their credits from an approved University course provider who is not regionally accredited must take the Accuplacer..." In order to apply for the age waiver, you have to have 24 credits so that can't be the reason for requiring it for under 21. So, I'm reading this to mean that if your credits are not from an RA university you have to take the Accuplacer.

Did you take it again at the B&M CC? Or was it online through TESU?
