Can you help me plan my degree path?
#31
Slow version that I went through years ago:
My original B&M school won't take CLEP, DSST, FEMA, ACE, CBE, etc. AP credits don't count towards GE and sometimes don't count towards the major. They routinely reject transfer credits from regionally accredited schools such as vocational classes. The major department heavily restricts how many courses I could transfer in to graduate (max of 6 credits) and I already used that up. There was a residence requirement of 24 of the last 30 credits. I had well over 120 credits, but I was still 2 credits away from a BA. And it was a pain to finally earn the last 2 credits because I no longer lived near the school. Online courses don't exist that satisfy residency. I ended up begging faculty for independent study research with periodic meetings and got my degree a couple of months later.

Express lane version:
At TESU, I sign up for a morning DSST to get my last 2 UL credits and I'm a graduate by lunch time.

Edit to add:

OP - Do you really think most of us enjoy taking these exams or classes? At least I don't. I want to do the least possible amount of work and get the degree. But all of us are doers and do it anyway.
TESU BA CS and Math (graduated December 2016)
