My Journey: TESU BSBA

[Ideas]

I look forward to getting that transcript and my other evaluated, so those empty slots are filled in. Even though I was told I would get Bio 2 Lab credit, I'm a little bit nervous about that one.

It took them a long time about 4-5 weeks to get all my transcripts together.  I still have a few courses left for my CIS concentration, but the GM concentration AOS is complete.  I am thinking of no longer going for the certificates I wanted, but to get an ASNSM instead.  How did you get the Bio 2 Lab credit and what are you nervous about?

Did you send them all at once? I have most of my transcripts evaluated except these 2 and there will be 1 coming for the CSU-Global CBE.

You're in the same place as me then... I have my Marketing concentration complete but have a few left on Finance.

I am nervous that the person told me wrong about the Bio 2 Lab credit. She said I would get credit from the AP exam.

So you would not graduate in March? Which ASNSM?

Hi Ideas... I did a "what if", with my credits, I only need the Biology II with lab for the ASNSM Biology (4 credits). I am going to be taking it Jan 6 at NMJC, just have to register and pay for it tomorrow, it goes for a whole semester, so I can use that time to finish off my other ASNSM Comp Sci, apparently the "what if" shows I am missing 7 credits total (SL C++ for 4 and MIS course for 3, that's part of my CIS AOS).

My guess is I should be done in time for March graduation for the BSBA GM/CIS and ASNSM Comp Sci, but not for the ASNSM Biology. I may just wait until everything settles and then pay it all at once for June graduation. It won't really matter to me, as long as I get both of those done, I think it's better than taking up more time going for the Cert in Accounting and Cert in Opts Management. I was originally wanting to go for a BSBA Accounting & CIS, and an Opts Management cert.

However, once I read the thread from earlier and it was talking about the ASNSM's, that got me looking up my "what if" and voila! I am that close to both of them! Even closer to the two certificates as I need 3 courses for each, and I think the ASNSM would look better than having a double certificate.

That's great! You're close. I agree they are much better than (undergrad) certificates.

It's been a very long month or two.

My graduation applications are in, and I'm registered for the final TECEPs:

Security Analysis & Portfolio Management
Financial Institutions & Markets

These are fully multiple-choice which makes me feel better. I've been stressing because I forgot that some TECEPs are just multiple-choice. I need to remember that Security Analysis allows a calculator.

I think I will be taking the first on Jan 8th or 9th. I haven't decided which to take first. 

I'm not sure I can fit in the second one soon. If I can, maybe I should do the CSU-Global exam before the final TECEP. I am more stressed about the CSU-Global and really wish I had it out of the way.

AT least with the MC TECEPS you get the unofficial score right away. I hated waiting for the essays. Good luck.

[Ideas]

I checked my evaluation yet again. It's a little shocking to see my whole Biology AOS empty in my unofficial evaluation. As well as some of the other gaps. 

I'm sure they are so busy. This will feel more real when I have the next 2 transcripts evaluated. This doesn't feel real because I'm nervous about the CBE. Not nervous about learning the material and knowing enough to pass, but about something else going wrong.

[Ideas]

I'm having more and more difficulty with feeling good about the degree and the future degrees planned, because of some personal things going on and because of some work things that happened 

I still want the other TESU degrees very much, but I've lost a lot of the motivation that gets me through the weeks. Hopefully I find a way past this soon enough that I don't miss the deadlines. (I'm trying to graduate with the next set in March 2019.) I think that I'll be able to still work toward them, but maybe too slowly.

Getting that diploma is such a boost! I went into the process not too excited about it...after all it wasn't really going to change my life at home or at work. However, it turned out to be such a thrill and relief to finally get the degree that I had failed to get all those years ago. I guess it fulfills a very human need to be recognized for our accomplishments. Trust the process... It will be so worth it in the end.

Hopefully. I'm a bit crazy and abnormal.

Hopefully. I'm a bit crazy and abnormal.

+1, I have to agree...I am the same, I look in the mirror sometimes and say "you're a bit crazy and abnormal!"
And the other times I say - I get the job done, I am so awesome, I rock today and the day is great!
