Capstone requirement change at TESU

[dfrecore]

Well this is potentially frustrating. I am already having trouble paying for my classes in cash each month. Had to pay for my Cornerstone in cash too... I cannot afford to turn around and register for the Capstone in January and pay over a thousand dollars. I sent an email to TESU (since I am enrolled) asking specifically if it will be a problem that I have no GPA due to all my credits being from alternative providers. I hope, hope hope hope they reply and say it won't be a problem. It will already be a hardship to pay tuition for the Capstone at the original time I planned on it. I cannot afford to take another expensive class at TESU just to get a letter grade to meet a new requirement to even REGISTER for the Capstone...

You don't have to take a course at TESU to get a letter grade - it can be from any RA school.  So, you could take something at your local CC and get credit.  Or one of the NM CC's which are cheap.

But, I don't think anyone here has been turned down from TESU because they don't have any graded credits before, so it may be a non-issue.  If you have 117cr (ungraded), and took the cornerstone there, I'm guessing they will let you register for the capstone.  By virtue of passing all of the courses you take, you should have a 2.0 (passing is 70% for most ACE courses).  No official GPA, but I still think they will let you take it.
