Good degree programs, bad customer service. Their programs run 12 weeks now. Since Jennifer is going through them now, she would know better than anyone how they work. They told me 2 weeks ago TECEP's should be scheduled 1-2 months out and it is a pain to find a proctor. I have posted on other websites about their service, it's last to none as far as I'm concerned. One last thing, your better off waiting until your close to completeing your degree before registering because of the high annual fees. The catch-22 is if you do your own planning, what you determine you need might be different from what they say. (I'd almost bet on it). Jennifer, do you concur w/any of this?

Yes I concur. Paying your $75 will give you access to the grand answers- but getting them to replay is sometimes a long process. You can plan your degree plan- but just plan the requirements, leave the electives open for classes that maybe fall out of the category you intended. (This happened to me when I worked WITH an advisor). You just should be careful, but in the end if you can plan your degree.
