I am not sure but seems like capstone and SOS 1100 or SOC 1100. One of those two. But looking to see who has experiance can share.

You can find out by looking at the evaluation itself, it should indicate what class is remaining... If it's a second degree, cornerstone should be waived already as it's part of the general education, your electives should be waived as well too. You've got the capstone and a class within the major requirements - be it a CS AOS class or a CS elective. You need to click the drop down menu within the headings to find out witch specific class is remaining.

Hello BJCheung,
Finally, I was able to decode the remaining course details.
Here is what I left with it. I just realized that they never transfer my IT Networking courses and that may be one i need to take.
AOS Electives 18SH
*must earn grades of C/CR or better **For TESU and other course options, please contact an Advisor. **At least 18 semester hours (SH) within the entire Area of Study (including the Capstone) must be at the upper (3000/4000) level.**

That's what I thought, you need just two AOS classes and the capstone, it's actually 3 classes left to complete... You transferred in 111 credits in total. Good luck on the remaining classes, you can see if some Coursera or Study.com classes can come in as upper level and fill the requirements.

@bjcheung77 @others
Any suggestions for the ETS exam that counts towards the Capstone? My advisor really had no clue and she was unable to explain. Any other suggestion ? If i don't appear in exam and ask advisor to mark 0 since i couldn't take the test in their defined timeline?
I want to take that test in next few weeks before actual fall semester start.
As a NJ resident i want to save money and want to finish this degree before my PhD starts.
Thanks

It's taken during the semester when you're doing the capstone... There is no option to speed run the capstone and the components within it... Your best bet to utilize your time wisely is, do the final 2 AOS classes quickly, and sign up for the next capstone date. That's all there is to it!
