Just got this lovely message from TESC today ~

Student Remarks:
08/07/13 Students in the Military Degree Completion Program must complete a
residency requirement. Students who apply or change thei
r active
degree program after September 30, 2012 must earn twelve (12)
semester hours of Thomas Edison State College credit toward a
n
associate degree and twenty-four (24) semester hours of Thomas Edison

redits

Can219,

If you are going to use Military Tuition Assistance (TA) then you will need 12 credit hours residency for your Associates, or 24 credit hours for your Bachelors. TECEPs count towards your residency requirement, but are not covered by TA. Your other option is to re-enroll as a regular student by paying for your Annual Tuition out of pocket. By enrolling as a regular student the residency requirements are waived. You can continue as a Military enrollee until you are ready to graduate and then switch. There are no adverse effects by doing this, your current degree plan will remain in effect.

This is how I completed my degree, and it worked out well. The only downside is paying out of pocket, but at the same time you will incur no addition service obligation. I hope this helps!

Army B,

Maybe you can help me. We are not active military. What happened is whenever I call TESC they will hardly talk to me because I'm not enrolled. Well how am I suppose to know what they will / won't accept if they won't talk to me. We are overseas with military ID because my husband is working a contract job at Camp Humphreys South Korea. So the girl suggested I email a copy of our military ID's and change my status to "military" because they will talk to me then no matter what. So no I won't be using any assistance. Maybe it's best I get this changed back??

So if I switch back I won't have to do this residency requirement? Meaning I can keep doing the CBE's?

Thanks for any feedback!

If you are not active duty military then you will have no residency requirement because you can only enroll as a regular student. The exception to this is if you pay for credit hour tuition instead of the annual tuition option. Another challenge you will face is you will have to pay out-of-state tuition which is significantly more than in-state (3,062.00 vs $1,642.00.) The best thing I can suggest is to continue with your courses. They will transfer over. Even as an enrolled student I never got a straight answer from TESC because they no longer program in credits (place them on your evaluation as anticipated credit) that are not from them. I just followed the outlines here on the forum and wiki. TESC would update my evaluation as I sent in the transcripts to them (20~30 days after they receive them.) The courses that TESC will program on your evaluation are as follows: TECEPs, e-pack, guided study, and TESC Courses but only after you have paid the fee for them.
Sorry it’s not more transparent; just make sure that you only take courses that others have received credit for.

Thank you! I will call them first thing Monday morning and get this figured out. I thought the DOD Military coding would help me but YIKES! I understand the out of state tuition thing.... But all those credits at TESC prices! No Way....... Have a great weekend.
