Congrats on the new job to you too. cheersmate
The new place seemed ok with the BSBA:CIS. Was thinking more towards grad school. I'm really interested in the programs at DSU and having a more CS-like degree with more programming would help.

Completed the Liberal Arts TECEP earlier in October for another residency requirement. The new job is taking up a lot of time, so progress has slowed, but I have been listening to iTunesU videos on Macroeconomics on my long commute. As I transition to a closer office, I will have more time.
I have the Technical Writing and Nutrition TECEPs scheduled for the November term and just started Straighterlines Macroeconomics. With downtime around thanksgiving and a couple of additional days off, I'm hoping to get through all three by the end of the month.

Any progress to note?

with the new job, progress had first slowed down and then stopped. I passed the Technical Writing TECEP, but after that work got out of hand. Priorities have changed and I will be focusing on the updating my Microsoft certs. After that, I will be back to the BSBA:CIS.
Up until this week, I was considering switching to the BA:CS. The courses were more interesting to me and it would help with possible grad programs. After reading about the upcoming changes at TESU, it looks like it is best if I stay with BSBA:CIS and just get it done and move on.

June 2016 update:
So much for my accountability thread keeping me accountable.
Currently, studying for the Strategic Management TECEP with plans for my first attempt in early August. If I pass and I have been moved to temporary office location (5 minutes from CLEP test center), I will focus on the Macro CLEP next. If I do not pass, schedule 2nd attempt for 30 days later. Need to pass by November to maintain enrollment.
With only three requirements left, I'm so close I can taste it. Work should settle down for me in August and hoping to get everything wrapped up so I can apply for graduation in November.

July update:
Strategic Management is scheduled for next Sunday. Not sure if I will have to reschedule it again because of work. Have to see what comes up this week. Not studying as much as I had planned, but getting through the material.
I'm not moving to the office near the testing center, but still planning on taking Macro Econ Clep. I have all of the material I need.
Since the Managerial Accounting TECEP is all multiple choice, I decided I will try it. I ordered the book on Friday.

And the ridiculous 1,200 page book showed up tonight. I put it on the shelf and will not do anything with it until I pass the Strategic Management TECEP.

I agree, I can't imagine reading that whole thing, so I decided to take it via SL instead. Still not easy, but I think it might take me forever to get through that book (and it's been 25 years since I've taken Financial Accounting).

Its been 7 or 8 years since I have taken Financial Accounting. I'm not planning on reading much of the book. I am going to use the exam guide and index to create a bunch of flash cards. SL is plan B.
