For example, Canada has several provinces and territories, where are you?  If you've read a few of my posts for Canadians, I ask for the city/province, their previous institutions they've studied at, etc.  We don't really need your personal details, but some extra info really helps us 'gauge' where you stand.  Link: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-New-to-DegreeForum-How-this-Area-works

BTW, to answer your questions briefly, it's all yes's from me! <Queue Simon Cowell> Hit that golden buzzer for me!

You either pay per credit hour or you pay a flat rate tuition if you register for 9 or more credits at a time. The cornerstone, capstone, and other ‘normal’ online/guided study courses (not TECEPs, ePacks, etc.) are 12 weeks long. They have specific start and end dates, and they have a schedule with assignment due dates throughout the 12 weeks. You can technically pay for a course extension, but it’s highly recommended to stick to the due dates. They have start dates roughly at the beginning of each month. For example, the next term is Aug 5th to Oct 27, then Sept 2 - Nov 24, etc.

Hi BjCheung,

I just updated my original post.

Just to clarify, can I transfer in 90 credits from my brick and mortar schools (international institutions), and then additional ones from study.com for the other requirements? For over 90 credits? (Assuming that my 90 brick and mortar credits were all accepted.)

Also, is there a way to take the capstone or mandatory information literacy course from a provider like study.com?

Thank you!
Do you have recommendations on where to take the other 3000/4000 level CS courses other than at TESU?

Thanks for pointing this out to me! Hmm, so I guess then I'd really want to take more courses from non TESU programs so I could go faster. I need to find some 3000/4000 level CS courses outside of TESU. 

Do you have any recommendations for such courses?

Thank you!

Do you know if TESU accepts study.com credits even after you've enrolled with TESU and are taking courses with them? WGU for example doesn't accept transfer credits after you've started taking courses.
