help ! about the new policy
#11
We are still figuring out whether Strayer will actually work with TESU or not. If it does work, you would have to take 1 class at Strayer. They don't just let you take their challenge exams. However, if it does work, a total of $1560 for 5 RA classes is a pretty good price!  Especially if you can avoid taking the Network Technology TECEP. This would give you 15 RA credits + 16 at TESU. But, again, we are still not sure that this works. If you read this thread, you'll see the issues at hand: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...-Strayer-U

Assuming that Strayer does work, you would probably also want to add MAT-104 to the list as well. This would not overlap with Sophia's algebra. It would also give you some leeway in case you don't pass one of the more difficult exams.

The ASNSM Math requires 22 at least math credits. With Sophia, you get 6: College Algebra & Statistics. Strayer could possibly give you another 6: Discrete Math & Intermediate Algebra. You would also need Calculus I from somewhere. This gets you to 15 credits. If you add CSM Learn for $39, that's 18 credits. Plus 2 math courses at SDC and that gets you to 24 credits. Maybe Math 103: Precalculus and Geometry 101: Intro to Geometry at Study.com.

Once you are enrolled with TESU, adding the ASNSM to your degree plan will be as simple as emailing an advisor to have it added.

Revised plan:
  1. Go to https://ea.asu.edu/courses/ and sign up. It will take you a few days to get your login information. 
  2. At ASU, sign up for ENG-101 (self-paced), College Algebra and/or Pre-Calculus (self-paced), and the ENG-102 class that starts on March 9th. It will tell you that each class will cost $425. But the classes are FREE if you do not upgrade to take the classes for credit.
  3. Use these FREE courses to help you prepare for Sophia. Sophia can be very harsh when it comes to grading their English Composition assignments. ASU's classes will also help prepare you for the American university system. 
  4. Sign up at Study.com and start working on the UL AOS requirements: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...ience_Plan TESU sometimes changes its mind and no longer accepts a given course, which is why you actually want to work on your UL credits first!
  5. Now, go sign up for Sophia and start taking everything that fills in the GE requirements as listed at https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Sa...ts_Roadmap
  6. While you are working on Sophia, apply to and enroll at TESU: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Th..._to_Enroll
  7. Transfer in your SDC credits and your Sophia credits; see what else needs to be done.
While you are working on ASU, we should be able to find out whether or not Strayer will actually work as hoped or if new plans need to be made.
In progress:
TESU - BA Computer Science; BSBA CIS; ASNSM Math & CS; ASBA

Completed:
Pierpont - AAS BOG
Sophia (so many), The Institutes (old), Study.com (5 courses)
ASU: Human Origins, Astronomy, Intro Health & Wellness, Western Civilization, Computer Appls & Info Technology, Intro Programming
Strayer: CIS175, CIS111, WRK100, MAT210

CSM Learn is an ACE credit provider that just has a single math class: https://www.csmlearn.com/product/ACEcredit At $39, it is one of the most affordable ways to get math credit.

Saylor doesn't always have the best resources for studying for their exams. You might want to use ASU's calculus, SDC's calculus (as long as you already have a SDC membership, you can use their videos to study calculus and just not take the exam), and/or https://modernstates.org/course/calculus/ to learn calculus.

Yes. I forgot to mention before but you should at least apply to TESU by June regardless of how many classes/credits you have finished. TESU makes changes on January 1st and July 1st so it's a good idea to apply so that these policies won't affect you or won't affect you as much as they would if you applied later.
