Crippling self doubt! (aka starting college at 40!)
I received an updated Academic Evaluation on April 9th. It's currently showing 53/120. Figured I'd share it so people could see how the courses I've taken have been applied/evaluated by TESU as the Homeland Security and Emergency Management degree is pretty hard to find information on.

According to my spreadsheet, I'm at 63/120. When I contacted TESU about the TEEX credit change, they requested that I send in a new ACE transcript reflecting the new credit evaluation. I did that but they did not adjust the credits. I'm guessing they just skipped over that, not realizing that's what I had sent in the new evaluation for so I need to make an appointment with an advisor to fix that. 

That puts me at 57. This eval is also missing my ALEKS course, which I ended up completing right after sending in the new ACE transcript. That would put me at 60cr. The remaining missing 3 credits are from the new TEEX course that I took which was the Basic Property Technician course. 

I had taken Business 109: Intro to Computing and Computer Science 102: Fundamentals of Information Technology in order to fulfill part of my D. Natural Sciences requirements. In the degree plan that SDC had helped me create, those courses were listed as being options for that. Business 109 transferred in as COS-101 and Computer Science 102 transferred in as CMP-202. COS-101 went into my Natural Science reqs but CMP-202 just went into my GE electives. That's not really a big deal since I was taking Comp Science 103: Computer Concepts & Applications along side the other two courses and just need to take the final for that. That leaves me with 2 credits that I need for Natural Sciences so I'm trying to find something that would cover that. I'm hoping that one of the new TEEX courses may cover that. 

Of the remaining credits that I need, 24 are from 8 specific AOS required courses. Another 6 are specific GE reqs or TESU specific courses so those are pre-planned and I've already completed my last AOS elective (aside from the final), which isn't reflected in the evaluation so that's another 3 credits that are accounted for. 

All I've got left is to plan the following: 
2 cr - Natural Sciences
1 cr - GE elective 
21 cr - Free Electives 

Any suggestions for a 2 credit Natural Sciences course, something that's worth 1 credit for a GE elective, as well as any Free Elective suggestions that are inexpensive would be greatly appreciated! 

Again, I can't thank you all enough!
