TESU ASBA and then TESU BSBA in Marketing

Unfortunately, the Residency Waiver is only good for 1 Bachelor's degree.  So if you did the CS degree, you'd have to pay the RW again, along with the capstone (so a total of $4776).

TESU has confirmed that if I complete the second Bachelor's that I don't have to pay another waiver if completed within the year of the first waiver being paid.

That's great, get all your Upper Level and other requirements done with Study.com and you'll just need to do the capstone.
Here's a list of requirements and UL you should complete: I am copy/pasting a link to a previous post I made.

Unfortunately, I think whoever confirmed this for you was mistaken.  It has been the case for a very long time that it's only good for a single Bachelor's degree.  Many people on this forum have confirmed that over the years.

But, it's also in their policy on the website: https://www.tesu.edu/tuition/fees

NOTE: The Credit Hour Residency Waiver Fee applies to students who have not earned at least 16 Semester Hours from the University’s Online (OL), Guided Study (GS) or e-Pack (EP) courses towards their associate or bachelor’s degree, or to students who have not earned at least 50% of their credits for their certificate from TESU from the University’s Online (OL), Guided Study (GS) or e-Pack (EP) courses.


If a student pays either residency waiver fee or does not graduate within 15 months, they will be required to pay additional credit hour residency waiver fees.

Students who successfully graduate from their first associate degree at TESU and pay the waiver will have been deemed to meet the University’s Credit Hour Residency requirement for both the completed associate degree and their first bachelor’s degree should they pursue one at TESU. The certificate residency fee may be applied toward the first associates/bachelors’ residency fee if the student completes their degree at TESU.

Students will be responsible for any increase in credit hour residency fees if the fee paid for the associate degree is less than the current fee at the time the student applies for graduation for their first bachelor’s degree.

I sent the policy on the site and they said it was actually the first Bachelor's and apologized. That means TESU is much less likely. I am also not considering WGU for certain reasons I won't get into. So I will have to look into other options such as COSC.
