TESU Cornerstone Deadline

[Merlin]

Want to make sure I understand this.

Example:  Student has completed 45 hours towards degree.  (Still hasn't decided on BALS or BSBA GM; leaning towards BALS)

Does the student have to complete all 117 hours before enrolling at TESU and being able to take the cornerstone?

Or can the student, for example, have completed 72 hours and then apply to TESU in May 2019.  Take the cornerstone in June 2019.  Then spend the next 6 to 9 months finishing up the remaining 45 credits.  Register to take the capstone in Jan 2020.

Does that sound correct?

Do I understand correctly that the capstone is a semester long course?

You can take the cornerstone and capstone at any time you feel ready to do so. Many people take the capstone before they get to 117 credits. However, it is often good to wait until you've completed the prerequisite courses that your capstone expects. This helps to ensure you're prepared for the course, but it is up to you.

So yes you could apply at 72 credits, take the cornerstone, and then take the rest of the credits you need before coming back to TESU to take the capstone.

Or you could take both the cornerstone and capstone at 72 credits and then complete all the other courses you want. You'd then apply for graduation with TESU once you hit 120 credits and/or met the degree requirements.

The cornerstone is a quick 1-2 hour course which can be taken at any time once registered. It can also be used to officially enroll you in the school.

Yes, the capstone is a full 12-week (semester-long) course.
