I suspect that TESU would require a student to take the cornerstone again at TESU for any degree other than the BACS, unless they came back for a second bachelor's degree after their BACS was conferred.
This is confusing. The cornerstone is only "waived" when you come in to take a 2nd bachelor's degree after obtaining your first bachelor's degree from an RA school (either TESU or any other RA school). So
2 wouldn't really apply to anything at all, since an associate's degree doesn't waive anything. You can have 10 associates degrees, but if you come for another associates degrees at TESU, they will make you take the cornerstone.
Now, if you're saying that the edX Cornerstone doesn't count as an actual cornerstone for another degree taken while you're taking the BACS degree, I think that's what we're trying to ascertain here.
But for anything else, once you have a bachelor's degree, the cornerstone is waived.

let me understnd what you say with an example @dfrecore:
I have a Bachelor degree from Spain, validated by WES as equivalent to a RA degree.
I go to TESU and then my only compulsory credits are in 1 subject, the Capstone. It is the only compulsory subject I have to take. No need to take the SOS-1100?

@Kab, all students who already have a Bachelors degree will have the general education and electives completed, the only portion they need to complete is the Area of Study/Major. Thus, the SOS-1100 (which is part of the general education section) is not needed for the second subsequent bachelors degree.

Yes, you only have to take the Capstone at TESU. Everything else for the major can be brought in from elsewhere. You bring in all credit, enroll, take the capstone, and then pay the residency waiver and grad fee and you're done.
