DocMarvin's Journey to AA GenStudies and BSAST in Technical Studies

$33/cr is insanely cheap. You get 6cr for $199. And a waiver on a $300 1-cr course.

Yes, your military discount is good, but it's still $250 PER CREDIT. That's $750/course.

Isn't cornerstone a 1 credit course? I have a tuition assistance benefit that either I use it or lose it. 16 credits/year. If I use Study.com, all I might just take is the Project management which I need for the BSAST. That will have to come out of my pocket vice using the tuition assistance.

A 1 credit course that they charge $300 for.

Just out of curiosity, why has no one mentioned the Guardian Scholarship here?

[docmarvin]

Okay. I get what you guys mean. But as what I said, I will pay $199 for Project Management course which will be the only one that I might take. I don't think I will be able to finish my BSAST while overseas so I am expecting to finish it by next year once I am back in the states. Meanwhile, I can use that TA for the cornerstone and Project Management course with TESU and the Physics 2 with lab upon return to the states and it will cost me nothing.

The Guardian Scholarship effectively gives you 3 months of free access to Study.com...

You'll need to take 12 TESU credits in order to receive the military tuition rate and avoid paying for the residency waiver. TECEPs, PLAs, and courses count. If your TA is going to cover everything, then I wouldn't bother with paying for outside courses you don't need. You can possibly receive the Guardian Scholarship, which would make Study.com free for three months, but you might end up taking a course that you could have taken for free at TESU and have it count toward your residency requirement.

[docmarvin]

I applied for Guardian Scholarship about 2-3 weeks ago. I didn't get any response. Should I apply again?

As far as residency, the plan is take 8 TECEPs. That's less than $1k instead of paying the waiver. The courses I am working on now on Straighterline are the one I enrolled months ago that I ended up not finishing. I got all of those with the coupon codes. Trying to complete everything before November 17. I might not finish English Comp 2. It's kicking my glutes. It's been 5 years since I took English Comp I. I look at the TECEP for it and it looks so hard too. Any suggestions on how to prepare for TECEP? I just need to take 4 TECEP for my AA. Then the other 4 later for BSAST. I know I am good at Math. Should I take those 3 Math TECEPs for the purpose of residency if I want to get it quick.

How does application for graduation goes? I think, I'm most likely gonna be graduating by March, huh?

It took Study.com almost two months to reply to my application. Others have received notification much sooner. Also, there's a DSST that counts as English Comp II, and it's multiple guess.

I actually just saw that when I printed all DSST equivalencies for TESU. No essay required? If so, I'll definitely take it. FREE!
