Capstone requirement change at TESU

[mysonx3]

We still haven't seen any update from TESU on whether this new 2.0 GPA requirement applies to transfer students with no graded credits or not. My expectation (and hope) is that it will be waived, so this should only apply to people who have an actual GPA, and a lot of alt ed transfer students won't have a GPA at all until after they complete their capstone.

I don't think it's new.  I thought there was always a 2.0 requirement to enroll, so I'm not sure anything has changed.

The thinking is that getting a waiver for a 2.0 GPA to enroll when you don't have a GPA might be easier/different from getting a waiver for the 2.0 GPA requirement for taking the Capstone.

I think they'll almost certainly waive it for those without a GPA for two reasons:

1. It's more consistent with the rest of their policies.
2. Not doing so could prevent some students from becoming "full-time" at TESU, by forcing them to take any "other" class they need BEFORE the capstone rather than concurrently. Forcing students who would otherwise become full-time to become part-time seems like a bad decision for a university to make.
