<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am hoping you can share with me what your college residency requirements are for the BAS degree. It looks like TCC has two different requirements for our Associate Degrees. All DTAs are “30 credits must be completed at TCC (not tied
to sequence…maybe “time” better, doesn’t matter how long ago they took 30 credits with us)” for TCC to award Associates. All Prof techs are “30 of the last 45 credits must be completed at TCC” for us to award Associates.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are you all following one of these formats for your BAS degrees or maybe doing something different all together? Does your residency requirement speak specifically to a certain number of credits from the 90 for the Bachelor degree being
from your college or do you consider the credits in the entire 180?<o:p></o:p></p>
