Once you've locked in your catalog, and you start locking in your courses, you stand a much higher chance of graduating as planned. Not knowing, and possibly having your degree plan change (or even the one you want removed entirely), and not knowing how/if your courses will come in is scary.
This thread is super helpful in clarifying; even though I'm at the end of my process, I know a number of others that are not as far along.
So to clarify: are you saying that, assuming you stay enrolled, once a course has been transferred in (transcript received) and approved and on your evaluation, generally they will continue to accept that course, and honor it for the requirement it meets, even if the requirements become different for new students?
And, on a similar vein, if planned coursework (let's say a bunch of Sophia or SDC or other ACE/NCCRS coursework) is already on your evaluation, will they honor it (with the assumption that the course is still ACE/NCCRS approved and not expired) even if the requirements for the degree change? Or is it only solid once you've actually transferred in the credit?
This would make sense why they won't add more than 16 credits at a time to your evaluation if, by doing so, they're essentially saying "we're committing that we'll honor these if you earn them in a reasonable time."
