An Update: Pierpont AAS BoG to WGU BSIT, looking for feedback/advice!

TRANSFER EVALUATION GUIDELINES FOR BS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Courses can be satisfied by an Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Applied Science, Bachelor of Arts, or Bachelor of Science from a Regionally or Nationally accredited institution

GENERAL EDUCATION
COURSES SATISFIED BY TRANSFER OR DEGREE
The group below may be satisfied by an Associate or Bachelor's degree unless otherwise stated in the transfer requirement."

Then, if you look at each of the courses required for the Gen Ed area, none specifies anything.  So they will all be satisfied with an AAS.

Now, if you go down a bit further, 

COURSES IN THE MAJOR

COURSES SATISFIED BY TRANSFER OR DEGREE
The group below may be satisfied by an Associate or Bachelor's degree, unless otherwise stated in the transfer requirement.


D322 Introduction to IT: One course, equivalent to 4 units, in Introduction to IT or Google IT Support Professional certificate or the CompTIA ITF+. Course can be satisfied by an associate or bachelor’s degree in information technology completed within 5 years of the student’s start date or WGUx (Edx) IT Career Framework Microbachelor’s.

All 6 of the courses in this section have this same requirement for the degree.  So this is where you will know that your AAS will NOT satisfy the requirement, because it specifically states what your degree needs to be, and yours isn't that degree (it's an AAS with an Area of Emphasis in Info Systems, which is not the same as an IT degree).

So yes, your AAS WILL meet the GE requirements, but it will NOT meet the major requirements.

Hello, it's been a while, just wanted to let you know that you were wrong. The Pierpont AAS did NOT satisfy all of the GE requirements.

For example, the AAS didn't satisfy D198 - Global Arts and Humanities, even though it's under general education. Fortunately, the Sophia course Art History I satisfied it instead, so I didn't have to do anything extra.

This was my original concern. The terminology on the very information you pasted and bolded in red in your post is exactly as I already explained - "MAY BE SATISFIED" NOT "WILL BE SATISFIED". That's why I was unsure and asked for clarification from someone who has actually done the process so I would know which ones are satisfied by the AAS and which are not. I read the WGU page very carefully and it did not answer my question, and neither did you pasting it again here as if I can't read.
