    Hello,

    I just noticed a post regarding San Juan College, and I am quite intrigued. Is it possible to complete an Associate degree entirely online at SJC? In addition, how are exams/finals administered when taking online classes?

    Thank you in advance!

    I'm Curious as well

    I've just started researching this school too because of the post. I would love to get more feedback on this school anyone?

    I know it is possible for one to complete an A.A.S. in Veterinary Technology online via SJC. Not sure if they offer any other online A.S. or A.A. degrees.

    They mail you a sick dog, and you fix it up and mail it back?

    Do the class valedictorian and salutatorian get to keep their sick dogs (or cats or horses or cows) as a graduation present?

    I've duly noted this one over in the vet asst/vet tech thread, with due notation that it was your find.

    Here they have a list of online classes http://www.ed2go.com/sjc but I'm not sure if they offer online degrees other than vet tech. Thanks, Tom japhy, my young lady friend will be quite interested in the vet tech program.

    SJC's AA requires two credits of physical education activity and three credits of applied arts. My B&M credits satisfy both requirements, but their evaluation didn't include one of the PE credits (ice skating) and transferred a 3-quarter-hour choir class as one semester hour.

    I haven't decided whether to appeal.

    Could it be that SJC only used sufficient of your B&M credits to meet degree requirements

    The degree requires 65-68 hours with 15 hours taken in residence. I have 63 hours, and they transcripted 41. I could see the upper-limit reasoning if 50 hours had been transferred or if the individual categories had been satisfied and there were overages, but neither case applies.

    Yes, although you have to make sure to poke enough holes in the box, so that all of your good intentions are fully realized. ;)

    If you graduate, they aren't sick anymore.

    I took a Psych class once where, among other things, you had to teach a rat to run through a maze, press a lever or some other Pavlovian thing and at the end of the course they were very careful to tell everyone that they could 1) take their rat home or 2) leave their rat. If you chose #2 the rat would either be used in future experiements or it would be killed. My rat (named Cracker) came home with me. It was a member of a special breed used in such experiements. These rats were bred for docility and a short life. He lived for 18 months in my home. It makes me think of Bladerunner.
