For those of you with a PhD or other Doctorate, what's on your business card? Are you Dr. NAME, or NAME, PhD?

First and foremost, I would like to apologize for any inconsistencies or misunderstandings, I'm new to this forum, and new to all this in general. Please be patient with me, thank you.

I will finally earn my high school diploma in December through an online self-paced accredited school and plan to began college. I am hoping to pursue a career in mechanical engineering, though I am not 100%, but that's the plan for now. One of my questions is: what do you guys recommend I do in order to get as many general education courses out of the way? My initial plan was to just go to my CC (ARC) and my A.S. and then from there transfer to my local UC (CSUS) to get my B.S.

The main reason I'm on here is I don't wish to take GE courses at CC that'll take too long to finish. I want help getting advice on what's the best choice to make. I want to enroll in ARC and have as little courses left as possible to graduate with my A.S., is that the right way to go on about things? Any advice would honestly be greatly appreciated, as I don't have anyone to help me navigate through this. 

I've looked into UOTP, CLEP through ModernStates, Saylor, etc. but just don't know where I would need to eventually start and if I'm even doing the right thing.

I have other questions to ask, but for now that is all. Any comments/advice would be appreciated.

Thank you!

TESU transfer policy seems to indicate it will take transfer credits from DEAC institutions: https://tesu.smartcatalogiq.com/current/...er-credit/

But an advisor today told me they won't.

I am talking about a situation where I already have 24 Credits from a regionally accredited institution. I thought if I had those, that DEAC would potentially be transferable. (I thought people on this board said that they'd had some DEAC credits transfer.) Can someone clarify the policy for me?

(I haven't taken the classes yet, so don't worry about that.)

Anyone use UPI Study? Looks like they have some good, decently priced, NCCRS accredited courses. Courses are $250 a piece.

Can anyone who has completed the Sophia College Algebra course tell me how much time is allowed for the final milestone test? And also, how much time is allowed for each of the 5 Chapter milestone tests? Thanks.

Hi, anyone was able to sign up using TESU email? How to get this type of document?

Hello,


My daughter applied to Pierpont today - in the nick of time.  She received an email saying to submit transcripts to this email address:
                  
   processing@pierpont.edu

When I applied, we sent our transcripts to Nancy Parks at the ESprocessing@pierpont.edu.  Do we no longer ESprocessing@pierpont.edu or do we need to submit transcripts to both:

   processing@pierpont.edu and ESprocessing@pierpont.edu (from the Pierpont wiki page)?

According to this thread:  https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...s-for-10-4   it appears Nancy Parks is no longer the contact person for the BOG.  Is someone else monitoring ESprocessing@pierpont.edu

Additionally, my daughter should be finishing her CIS-194 at ASU this weekend, we hope.  Do we need to notify someone at Pierpont or just send the transcript as soon as it's available?

Last, do we need to pay the $350 fee by Oct 4 or have the application submitted - which she's done.



Thank you!

I keep on getting an error for the birthdate. I've tried a few formats. How am I supposed to type it?
