Let's do this!
Registered — Fall 2026
Ming's rule on record: assess within 24 hours of classes starting (Sept 2) and drop to two of the three 1st-session upper-division courses if the load is wrong. Free drop (100% refund, no W): Sept 14 for 1st-session courses, Nov 2 for 2nd-session. Banner cap: 18 credits.

Every requirement the audit still owes, with the courses that satisfy it ranked by your ratings. Proctoring is its own column, on purpose — excitement and exam-surveillance are different questions.

Degree and campus options, against the current scenario toggles
Decision on record (8/21): stay on Speedway BGS, General Track until Joey answers the math / override / campus-change questions. BA and BS live on the SUU Online campus ($3,780 flat per semester) and need a campus change; the BA's 16 language credits are live only via a BYU FLATS test-out (Cantonese or Mandarin — Taishanese is not a FLATS language) and purchase of the credits.
Language facts (BA only)
- Degree Works BA What-If: "16 Credits in ONE foreign language — CHIN 1010:4850, FREN, GERM, GREK, SPAN". UMN's language waiver does not carry: the BA audit shows 0 of 16 applied.
- SUU's buy-back route: pass a FLATS exam (BYU, $50 online + $25 SUU proctoring), then purchase the 16 lower-division credits at $6/credit ≈ $196 total. Those 16 credits count toward the 120, which is why the BA + FLATS row above shows fewer credits remaining.
- Taking the four semesters instead (CHIN 1010 → 2020) is 16 real credits of coursework; whether CHIN has SUU Online sections was not captured — it is not among the 47 courses pulled from Banner. Beginner level is fine: the requirement is credits in one language, not upper-division.
- Total stays 120 either way. Under the BA the 16 language credits occupy free-elective space (18 free in the Assumed scenario), so they add 0 credits if they fit, and every credit over the free space is extra.
