Using Grad School Credits for Second Bachelors

[Merlin]

I think that basically translates as you can only use credits that have not been used in support of a prior degree (one that has already been conferred). If you want to use them towards a degree at TESU they must be new credits. Most colleges (like Excelsior) have similar policies in that regard... double dipping is not allowed.

I think Merlin is right- TESU only lets you do that when the credits haven't been used in a degree - not sure about EC

Thanks.  So as long as the degree has not been conferred yet they will give me credit?

I believe that is true, as long as we're talking about the "new credits" aspect (which is the last 24 credits of the degree). Based on what sanantone said (which sounds right to me) 96 credits can probably come from anywhere, even from previously awarded degrees.

Some degrees at TESU also allow a 9 credit "overlap" between degrees, which I believe will further reduce that 24 new credits requirement down to 15 credits. Though I'm not 100% sure how that works since I haven't looked at that section of the catalog in a while.

9 credit overlap is for two areas of study within the same degree, not for subsequent degrees (or at least that's my recollection)

Yeah, that's only for second AOS, you're right. You won't be coming back for a second AOS in the same degree anyway, so this wouldn't ever apply.

I'm looking at the catalog now. To confirm, at TESU a second baccalaureate degree requires at least 24 additional credits (8 courses) in the AOS/core of the second degree, earned after the date of the most recent degree, regardless of academic level. This is in addition to completing any other degree requirements (like specific math or science courses) needed for the new degree. The remaining 96 credits may come from prior degrees at any academic level, though they are not specifically called out.
