Taking the Capstone With 93 Credits Completed - glancing7924 - 03-28-2025
I am pursuing a BA Computer Science degree.
I am currently taking 9 credits at TESU right now through mostly pell grants. Next semester I want to take the Capstone and the Cornerstone which will be covered mostly through Pell Grants. I will not be eligible for Pell grants after that. So from there I will move on to finishing my degree through alternative credits.
By the start of next semester I should have 93 credits completed towards my CS degree. Will I be able to take the capstone?
By the start of next semester I should also be 18 credits away from getting a BALS with Computer Science Concentration. Should I change my degree to a BALS, take the capstone, then change my degree back to a CS?

I would reach out to your academic advisor. I'm pretty sure you need more than 93 credits to be able to take your capstone.

Basically, You'll need to complete at least 100 credits to have them open the capstone for you... I would try getting everything done and transferred in before you start your capstone. It's easiest to have the capstone done last, often times, by itself unless you're doing the double degree, you can do the two capstones together...

At least when I was a student (2021-22), Don Stoltz released me to take the capstone with about 92 or 94 credits. He knew that I was rapidly completing the rest (SDC and Sophia) and would have all 100 done in a few weeks.
I don't know how common/easy it is for them to do that, but they did it for me. Perhaps if you talk to the right couselor (I do think Don is a great counselor) they'll help you out.
