I am trying to make sure I have everything planned correctly for my daughter. This has really been a roller coaster. She originally thought she wanted to major in Business but after taking a Business class and a couple of Psychology classes she realized she really likes Psychology. She is wanting to complete her BA in Psychology from TESU (since Excelsior changed their requirements making TESU the only real option for the credits she already has). I have a spreadsheet I have listed all her courses she has taken or is enrolled in for this Summer and upcoming Fall semesters. Since she is 15y/o she can't apply to TESU until she turns 16 in Jan and can enroll in the Feb term, which is the last term with a June graduation, so we are really hoping there are no surprises and all the requirements are met and she will only need to take the cornerstone and capstone and then be able to graduate with her BA in June. I have done endless hours of research to find all the courses she needed and spent hours reading over the forum and facebook groups and university websites. She is so close to the end now I'm hoping I did everything I could and advised her correctly on which courses to take to meet her goal of graduating next year. If you are familiar with TESU especially if familiar with the BA in Psychology could you please look at the pdf and tell me if you see anything that she might be missing or that might not transfer in as expected or cause any potential delays to her plans, we would both very much appreciate any feedback while she still has a little time to try to correct it.
Thank you all so much for your insights over the last couple of years while she and I have been on this journey.

From a quick glance, that seems like a good plan and should work fine, you've got to finish the classes and apply before she turns 16. I would do so in early December to get an acceptance before or on her birthday, you'll then get an evaluation of the credits. You can email admissions that you want to get in on the February Cornerstone/capstone and that's the reason you're applying early - you also need to fill in the early app waiver for 16-18 year old prospective students. Go at the pace/rate you're going at now, you'll get there... Here's your previous post/thread for reference:

Also remember you do have to graudate HS. So that is something to keep in mind. I'm assuming your student has a HS diploma or GED? Because unless I'm mistaken (correct me if I"m wrong) you have to have a diploma to get into TESU, especially as a minor. And maybe you have that, your post didn't say either way.

Yes, she graduates in December with her HS diploma and an AA from the local community college.

Oh wow, that's a good birthday gift to herself! I'd continue with the momentum and keep plugging away at the remaining requirements for TESU, AA, any extras, etc...
