My term starts 4-1-18, I have been on the fence on starting WGU since April of last year. I decided to finally pull the trigger and finish my degree. I was able to transfer in most Gen Ed classes and all my current certs. Unfortunately the A+ and Network+ are expired and will not transfer in. I am hoping to finish within two terms, but ideally I am looking at three terms. Hopefully with my very lenient work schedule I can dedicate a lot of time to studies over the first term. I will keep you guys updated as I make my progress.

Completed IT Foundations C393
Next scheduled exam is for Network and Security - Foundations – C172 - Objective Exam scheduled for 5/12
Working through College Algebra – C278 - Hoping to this week to finish. Then study for the Objective Exam for a week.
For some reason my mentor didn't schedule IT Applications – C394 for this term. Hopefully after I knock out my last class I can just pop this into this term and knock it out. My goal is to get a minimum of 20CU's this term.
Edit: How long does it take to get credit for the exam? -

Finished my first term on 9/30 completing only 13CU's. I was disappointed with my progress but had a lot of variables that didn't allow me to fully study as I had planned. Started 2nd term on 10/1 and as of today completed 11CU's. Hopefully I pass my last task for Scripting and Automation – C916, which will knock it up to 13CU's for this term. I am hoping to hit a minimum of 25CU's this term which is basically another 3-4 classes. Which does not seem so unreasonable given the amount of time left in the term. Hopefully I can hit that goal and save at least one term in the future.
