Credit Transfer Confusion

[legenwait4itdary]

Thank you so much!

It looks like I already have General Calculus 1 on SL (probably transferred as one of those courses without a name to Purdue). I am waiting for my SL transcript to be sent to Credly and will then forward it to TESU.

Yes, wait for the evaluation, do you need a review of the subjects just in case you've been out of the loop for a while, like in X years from studying Calculus and other math related subjects... Hmm, with that single capstone and a flexible budget, you really should consider doing the 15 credit residency and take the required classes from TESU for a double major in CS/Math, you can take the bulk of the credits through Sophia.org/Study.com and cheapie/freebie options on Coursera for the missing CS/Math. Depends on the energy/time you really want to spend on this educational journey.

Well, I am thinking about adding the CS major. It would be great to have it on my CV. Once all have been transferred I might bug you again and see if you could advise what to do in order to get a double degree.

It looks like SL will take a while and then the evaluation of the transcript by TESU as well. So I will wait until then and create a spreadsheet with what was transferred and my plan which I will share here.

Thank you once again for all the help!

Hello,

So I went ahead and added the CS major. However, this is what concerns me a bit: Note that you may not overlap more than 9 credits between its area of study and that of the BA Math.

So just to clarify, for example if my Purdue Credit for Writing will transfer to BA Maths, then for my BA CS I will need to take Writing II as the credits cannot overlap? I know the lower level subjects are straightforward so it won't be a big problem, just a bit more time and money.

Edit: I think I get it now, it is only for degree specific courses that might be overlapping not for the Foundation courses which are the same for both majors. I just looked at my degree plan and I think this is what it means (still waiting for credit transfers, though )

Thank you,
Marcin

The overlap limit is only for the AOS not for Gen Eds.

Thank you! I realized that after my initial post. I'm glad to know that, and having 9 credits for both majors is not too bad.

I do have another question this time about Medical Terminology TECEP. I want to register for it as it will give me 12 months of enrollment but when I check the details of the course it says:

Dates 2/5/2024 - 4/28/2024 (I selected February start). Does it mean it will only keep me enrolled until April 28 or I can disregard the dates?

These is the TECEP I am referring to:

Thank you for your great help!

No, that's just the dates for the term you're enrolled in the TECEP... Your enrollment lasts a year, not just that term.

I am still waiting for StreighterLine transcript to be sent to TESU (I contacted them as only 6 out of 14 courses received badges in Credly).

However, I have created a plan for my degree in Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing

It looks like I have a lot of courses to take with Study.com. Will probably start with LL programming courses to get them out of the way.

Comments and suggestions are very much appreciated.

Sorry, I forgot to ask. For Computer Science AOS courses, 18 needs to be UL including Capstone.

Am I correct that I will be taking only 1 capstone? In this case, will it count towards 18 UL credits in CS. If yes, could I replace one of the UL subjects at Oregon state University with an LL course? This would significantly reduce the cost of the degree.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Skip Sophia.org altogether if you have the SL Business Stats course. I would focus on StraighterLine to get your Calculus I & II or, if you prefer, Study.com to get your Computer Science courses completed. Just a note, MIS can be done with Study.com as well, don't need to take anything at Oregon State either as you have enough RA, you can take the ACE/NCCRS options if available...
