Thread: COSC Academic Autobiography

Originally posted by SMALLS
Abner,

I just graduated from COSC in May. For me it was a pretty quick process. I first applied in January, needing only 1 class (3 credits) to meet graduation requirements. Once admitted, you have to submit your resume and your Concentration Plan of Study (CPS) to be approved by faculty. Once the degree plan you are seeking is approved, then you matriculate (You have 1 year from the date you matriculate to finish your requirements or you will have to pay a renewal fee!) Since I only had 3 credits left, I began writing my Academic Autobiography right away. It took me 2 times before mine was finally approved. It took about two weeks to get the results back both times. The only help that my Academic Counselor gave me was she told me about: www.etutoring.org
These guys are a great resource because you can submit your Academic Autobiography to them, and they provide you with valuable feedback on how to improve your paper. It has to be 750 - 1000 words in length (mine ended up being 3 1/2 pages, double spaced), and it must score at least 70 according to their grading criteria. Once you get this approved, it is a load off your shoulders & and the rest is easy. Just finish up your classes, pay your graduation fee, and graduate! Hope this helps!

Does etutoring charge a flat fee? Or how do they charge? just curious.

Thanks,

No, there isn't a cost involved. It is a free service offered to Charter Oak students. Once you register, they contact COSC to verify that you are a student. That's it. Like I said, they are a good resource when you write you Academic Autobiography. I submitted mine, and two people reviewed it and made suggestions to make it a stronger paper.

Thanks Smalls! That great, I figured they would charge $100.00 to $150.00.


Thanks once again,
I am starting to line up all my duck in a row.
