However, according to this thread (especially post #1 and #2), there are other requirements as well—which are, along with English Comp. I and II, that you have to have all (or almost all) AOS credits completed.
Is this true? In the second post, there is mention of an email from TESU about the new requirements, which was emailed to Capstone students. However, for students not enrolled in the Capstone, this is highly important information—especially if you aren't aware of it, and then learn about it when registering for the Capstone (basically derailing everything if you didn't have most/all of your AOS courses).
What are the official details about the new (and unannounced) Capstone requirements? What's up with not announcing them to everyone?
Based on the latest feedback from students who've posted about their interactions with advising over registering for the capstone, what you posted above is correct. You need a minimum of 100 credits on your academic assessment, plus you must have completed English I and II and most (or all) of the courses in your area of study. When they say AOS, I believe that also includes the courses in section II (Core) for folks pursuing a BSBA.
The original email didn't include all the extended requirements, those appear to have been added since the announcement was made back in December. So this is all coming from feedback from advising who are the gatekeepers when you petition to register for the capstone. I'm not sure if there is an updated list of official requirements.
Working on: Debating whether I want to pursue a doctoral program or maybe another master's degree in 2022-23
