Kean University and NJCU Sign Definitive Merger Agreement to Launch Kean Jersey City, this is from last month...

So, Kean University and NJCU are merging plus launching with a new name... Kean Jersey City, that's the name of the new university, seems like a bold move to merge, but I guess it was needed to bolster enrollment for both institutions and have their programs aligned properly.

So I have received credit for all courses except for the Capstone and Information Literacy course. This is for a CS degree.

I do not want to pay the residency requirement waiver fee and will be taking 5 courses at TESU.

I'm wondering how I'm required to go about this.

Since I only have 2 specific courses remaining, but need 5 total to fulfill the residency requirement, can the 3 courses I take be any courses? Even ones I've already received transfer credit for but did not take at TESU?

Do I need to enrol in some sort of other diploma or program at TESU to be able to enroll in 5 courses given that my My Progress page says I only need 2 courses? I thought I read something about having to do this.

And regarding mid term examinations, can I get a score under 50% on a midterm examination and still pass the course as long as the rest of my grades for that course are high enough?

Thanks!!!!

A lot of folks here already use Study.com for ACE-approved credits, but with the recent updates — new pricing, faster grading, and the mobile app — it’s now easier to plan and complete courses efficiently. Here are a few tips for getting the most out of the platform:
 
Use the $95/month plan strategically. You’re allowed to enroll in two courses at a time, but once you finish one, you can start another — meaning there’s no real cap on how many you can complete each month.
 
Keep momentum by overlapping courses. Since you can begin new classes while previous assignments are still being graded, there’s no need to slow down. This approach works especially well if you’re trying to wrap up several courses before a new term at WGU, TESU, or UMPI.
 
Use the new mobile app for micro study sessions. You can complete lessons, quizzes, and track progress directly from your phone — convenient for fitting in quick study blocks during breaks or commutes.
 
Take advantage of open-book finals. Without proctoring, finals are easier to schedule and manage. Keeping organized notes as you go makes these exams faster and less stressful.
 
Track progress through ACE early. As you near completion, confirm that your courses appear correctly in your ACE dashboard so transcript requests go smoothly when it’s time to transfer.
 
The recent platform updates make it easier to maintain steady progress and build efficient study habits — especially if you’re balancing school with work or family.

Any update on this program? I am hoping to develop my meme skills for employment.

Hello all, I’m having a bit of a weird experience with Coursera/Credly regarding the Google IT Support Professional certification. I had initially completed the course in late 2021 and got the badge on Credly. When generating the Credly transcript it was showing the ACE endorsement for the Google IT support professional badge. I noticed there was a new version on Coursera now so I went and re-did it. However it didn’t update my badge at Credly. I sent Coursera an email and they “manually updated my badge”, it now shows the new complete date of last week, but when I generate a transcript from Credly it no longer shows the ACE endorsement/recommendation. I emailed Coursera support again and they said this is a known issue with the current version of the badge and they hope it gets fixed soon. Is anyone else having a similar issue?  I’m only annoyed because I’m prepping to transfer credits to TESU and I’m worried if it doesn’t show the ACE endorsement on the credly transcript they won’t accept it for anything. Any ideas? Alternatively, when transferring credits from Coursera to TESU, does it need to go through credly or can I just share my cert link from Coursera? Thanks!

Is anyone aware of a state or brick and mortar graduate school which caps semester tuition and also allows an unlimited overload of credits per semester?

I am wrapping up an MS at Troy University, which offers a schoalrship that lowers tuition for $250/credit for military, but it still charges per credit and there is a cap on overloads. Penn State used to allow this with a petition, but now if you go over a certain number of credits they still charge you more.

Specifically looking at schools with good name recognition. UT Austin has some great programs that come out to just $10k total but only in AI, CS, or Data Science. Arkansas State is pretty cheap too but still charges per credit and has somewhat limited options. Hoping to do Finance or perhaps a hard science of some kind and diversify. 

Looking forward to the discussion!

Hello, i’ve hunted all the universities globally but it seems only one university which is globalnxt university may fit me. I’m looking for an online DBA, not in USA or Canada and because as with other universities, i’m not wanting their grading scale as I feel it’ll be pressuring to get minimum 84% etc. I need a program that is accredited by the government or can be WES approved. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi. Is there a thread that covers TESU course reviews? I'm looking for information on Advanced American Literature 2. Specifically on the requirements of the powerpoint presentations. Is there an oral presentation component required? If someone could drop a link for this thread, or if someone would review the course for me, I would appreciate it.

My job is giving me a budget for professional development, and I want to use it for AI courses — but I don’t want just random YouTube. 

I’m looking for something with a Stormwind-style vibe IT training provider  https://stormwindstudios.com/     :

• structured classes / live or on-demand
  
• labs or hands-on practice
  
• reputable provider (so I can show it to my supervisor)
  
• And most important: it should end in (or include) a real certification exam or voucher — not just a “you finished the video” badge

Please do not view this as a political post. That is not the intent.

Through my meandering life-long learning studies  I have recently taken an interest in the Modernists.

This morning I was delighted to read Ghazala Hashmi, my Lt. Governor-elect, wrote her PhD dissertation on William Carlos Williams. Williams was a Modernist poet and a life-long correspondent with Ezra Pound. As she is an academic, I'm sure I'll find more of Lt. Governor Hashmi's published work. I look forward to reading whatever I can find.
When I was still among the Mundane, my last supervisor often said - Find the good and praise it- .

a term I think she got from Alex Haley.
Random thought - Alex Haley was a Chief Petty Officer (U.S. Coast Guard).

Today is a good day to have a good day. 

My Basic Program cohort will begin our discussion of René Descartes later this morning
